Hello,
I'm really looking forward to some good philosophy talk here! I'm nothing like an expert, but of course I've got plenty of my own opinions so I thought I'd get involved, get a bit of an education
I love Kierkegaard, although I'm not entirely sure that I understand anything I've read of his
All the best to everyone!

Re: hello philosophers
Welcome!
I keep seeing people refer to Kierkegaard, but alas, I haven't read a single sentence the man wrote.

Re: hello philosophers
you are missing out! Not completely getting what he's on about, I take most of my enjoyment from the sentences
Re: hello philosophers
If you want to learn more about Kierkegaard try listening to Hubert Dreyfus podcast. He teaches at Berkeley.

I do something like this with Nietzsche´s Zarathustra: I read the pathetic words of a new savor of the world and get very amused at times. The vociferations are well put, no doubt. When I have finished with N. I will move to K. Do you read "Either Or" or some other work ?
When it is hot I like to read something in Spanish. It suits so well high temperatures. The language must have developed while the speakers of it were under the influence of a hot climate.
"Hace calor."
Just think of the open "a" and "o". When it´s hot you cannot put lots of energy into pronounciation.
Whereas "black" or "world" are good exercise of the mouth muscles if it is chilly and rainy outside.

Re: hello philosophers
Is your name making fun of the incorrect pronounciation of the word "madman" ?
Or am I overinterpreting ?
