My theory of just war is that we just shouldn’t war.

Richard Rorty was a 21st century philosopher stuck in the 20th century responding to the philosophy of the 19th century.

BREAKING: Bezos buys two of the remaining four, announces they will only be publishing material on the inherent natural beauty of the free market from now on.

Spending the past month or so in Southern California has helped me realize that Stephen Miller must truly be a psychopath (he grew up here) because the best thing about this place BY FAR is the Mexican food.

A treat?

Rorty has to be the funniest American philosopher of all time, right?

I’m finally reading a theory of justice, and frankly I don’t understand at this point why we’re not all rawlsian. Seems he cracked the nut no

Kant argues that if we’re not to loathe the human race, we must believe it’s our natural end to morally progress; and further, that like progress towards “aerostatic balloons,” repeated failure to reach our end doesn’t justify abandoning hope—only demonstrated impossibility does.

Rawls argues that your place in the natural distribution of talents is *morally arbitrary,* so justice should be assessed from the *point of view* of the original position, where you imagine not to know who you’ll be.

It’s not about the literal possibility of being someone else!
