So This is a Blog?
Meaning, I wake up, write, reflect, create, and post, whatever it is that's on my mind that day?
Interesting concept but I suppose this is like Twitter (RIP) on steroids given the absurd character count. A little too free and unrestricted, if you ask me, as I can babble on and on.
Anyway, Hello. You'll find some older poems I decided to post as a trial run.
Currently, I'm working on writing everyday. Whether this be a short story, a poem, reflecting on current events, personal ramblings, or some philosophy (in preparation for applying to grad school, wish me luck), I aim to post at least
something every single day.
Today I spent some time at the beach in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic editing an old final paper from a philosophy seminar on color. The topic is color adverbialism and its compatibility with color realism, with some dual referent view and pragmatism thrown in there. It's an already written ten page paper that would be fine as a writing sample.
I also spent some time outlining a paper I wish to write detailing how Heidegger got Nietzsche dead wrong, and why this is important.
Also, perhaps this concept of adverbialism could be applied to some thoughts I have about the self...
So here we have it, a blog post. Be on the look out for some philosophical ramblings soon, perhaps even some political commentary.
Until next time,
Stephanie Spivak
