| - You are MineSo i was thumbing, foraging, plowing, and otherwise sorting through GIGUNDO stacks of papers-- mostly from Cags' calc class when i found a couple interesting quotes i had written down. my mom discovered these in a book she was reading for school (i think)-- but really it doesn't matter because she and i talk about more things on an intellectual level than we do anything else (we'd rather discuss Darwinism and its implications on secondary schooling and the justice system than what to eat for dinner... especially since we usually forget about dinner),
anyways... think about these (both from "Holy Terrors" by Bruce Lincoln)
"Over the course of the last century and a half, countless theories of the neature of religion have been advanced, and most-- deservedly-- have fallen into oblivion. Many of these theories present religion as a Ding an sich, a system of pure ideas utterly divorced from any social, political, or historic context." Subtext read as: You CANNOT separate an analysis of religion from an analysis of politics, society, and history-- Church and State are inextricably intertwined!
"Where Kant expected philosophical reason to stabilize ethics and aesthetics much as religion had previously done, it has proven inadequate to the task." | | |
| so i've been kinda busy lately... funny how that works. i'm done with school, done with all the work for the "torture chamber" that was PCDS (you know... i say that, but i really did love it. A LOT. AND I'M GONNA BALL at graduation). anyway... i've been training kinda hard. i wanna make the lax team next year, plus there's the backpacking trip to get ready for. which means walking around my house wearing goofy looking hiking boots and a big pack with weight in it, hiking with said pack, and going to the gym. and running. and practicing lax. and i feel great. :) working out twice a day is kinda fun.
other than that.... uh.... not much else is goin on. i'm reading This Side of paradise (by F. Scott Fitzgerald-- oneof my fav. authors) and it's funny. it's basically about a very egotistical Princeton student and all about his college experience. i thought it was appropriate for the summer before i go to college. i spent an hour today being hyper and looking online for bedding for my dorm.
i guess that's it for now... special thanks to the giver of the eProps and comments for my last entry-- which, as of now, has a total of ONE reader! yay!
ciao for now | | |
| yoyoyo so i'm way excited that i just started a xanga thingy. actually kinda a funny story- so last night i was (not) writing my english paper... which has since become the bane of my existence... and instead wandered onto xanga, found the Wellesley blogring and that's that. since i just got back from visiting there as a "prospie" i was super excited about going to school next year. and THEN i started reading the xanga entires of current WC students and thereby discovered that it's just gonna be like PCDS all over again except harder, with more freedom (and no parentals to tell me to do my hw-- or english paper) and so that made my kinda sad. the nerd in me was excited, but the sleep-lover in me was sad. oh well... somehow i will survive the 3 all-nighters in a row that seem to be wellesley standard. yowsers!! speaking of an all-nighter i think i should get back to that paper of mine if i value any sleep time tonight at all. so, ciao for now, all zero of my readers, and i hope to see you again soon. :) -tam | | |
