Lew,With direct appreciation of your circumstance, I wish you and your family easier passages.Not to rehash improprieties but, at the hardest of times, I find comfort in Heraclitus' saying:"Everything flows, nothing stands still" (τὰ πάντα ῥεῖ καὶ...

Thucan @ 06-13-11,Just to ensure that I am not listed amongst those "audiophiles engaged in philosophy", I will clarify my contributions.I have argued that the search for 'a truth' behind what we can call 'good' or (both discriminately and subsumi...

Nandric,You leave me with nothing to say except repetition and to acknowledge that you obviously hold a faith (concerning Kant, Hegel, Frege and logic) that I do not possess.Not a pressing concern for me, I must confess! Maybe, time will bring new...

Clarification,I would not claim Agon the same import as Jena nor Raul that of Napoleon! Still, parallels arise for greater minds than mine.

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Clarification,I did not mean to divert this thread any further from its original path with my brief response on Hegel. It just seems to me that the issues raised have a direct parallel to the issue about cartridges.To argue that something - Hegel ...
