“I write all my own songs and they are just simple melodies with a lot of lyrics. They usually have to do with current events and what is going on in the news. You can call them topical songs, songs about the news, and then developing into more philosophical songs later.” WritingSongMy OwnSimpleEventsNewsPhilosophicalCurrentsDevelopingMelodyCurrent Events Author:Phil Ochs

“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.” KnowsIdeasDifferentScienceOrderUnderstandingAnswersEventsConcernFunctionIncreasePhilosophicalReportsInterpretationImplicationsFactualPhilosophical Questions Author:Susanne Katherina Langer
“Plotinus, when he thinks about mind or intellect, the Greek word is 'nous', he thinks about something that's very different, it's much more elevated and special, more abstract, you might say more philosophical than the very broad range of mental events that we talk about in contemporary philosophy of mind.” ThinkingMindDifferentPhilosophyMightSpecialEventsPhilosophicalIntellectContemporaryRangeGreekAbstractBroads Author:Peter Adamson
