MOJ PHILOSOTEQUE:NIETZSCHE ON DEATH

No. The wave never dies

Friedrich Nietzsche

"To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there." -- Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

I THINK

The long hot summer in thoughts
The long hot summer of thoughts
I think,so I am ...
This long hot summer ,we're going to discuss philosophy more often and revive older posts

SOCRATES ,NOT A SNAKE CHARMER

socrates death by jacques-louis david,the french painter,metropolitan museum of art,new york,new york

SOCRATES,NOT A SNAKE CHARMER
NOR A FIRE MONGER.
Glee was in the cup
Of hemlock
When he did want
To sip it away
In his hermetical jest.
He did not
Question the matter
In the mist of shadow
And in moments
He became
It.
His insights
Insisting
To start
Another lonely Athens

LOST AND FOUND IN WORDS

edwar said mural

with a helping hand from Edward Said(1935-2003),who never began the beginning:
We have never understood(or if we have,we have turned away from its lessons)the value of what it is that we are as a people and culture,and have steadfastly put our faith(a heritage from colonialism) in the white master or in middle-men.
from "CULTURAL POLITICS"

ON A THINKER'S BIRTHDAY

We react to rough roads
by silence
or a graceful smile.
Who is so simplistic?
A rude abuser
or just the victims?
Or even Socrates
who wore a big smile
on rough roads?

FAREWELL TO CLAUDE LEVY STRAUSS

claude levy strauss,1939 in brazil & may be yesterday!

faramarzsoleimani.com

CLAUDE LEVY STRAUSS

b.NOV 28,1908,BRUSSELS

d.OCT 30,2009,PARIS

HE WAS AROUND FOR SUCH A LONG TIME ,YOU WOULD THINK HE DOES NOT LIVE ANY LONGER.BUT HE WAS.WITH HIS NOVICE THOUGHTS AND NOVELTY OF WORDS.AND NOW THEY SAY HE'S GONE.

CLAUDE LEVY STRAUSS,A STRUCTURAL ANTHROPOLOGIST,UNDER INFLUENCE OF ROMAN JACOBSON,WITH HIS THOUGHTS AS A PHILOSOPHER AND MAN OF LETTERS,RECOGNIZES IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY.

AND HIS FEELINGS AS LOVE OF HUMANITY.

HE SEARCHED FOR THE UNDERLYING PATTERNS OF THOUGHTS

IN THE OLD FORMS OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND TRIBAL LIFE,

IN BRAZIL,

IN U.S.A.,

IN SORBONNE AND COLLEGE DE FRANCE.

HE LOOKED FOR REAL MEN AND WOMEN.

I WONDER HOW MANY OF THEM HE WAS ABLE TO FIND.

BUT WE LOOK THROUGH HUMANKIND THROUGH HIS THOUGHTS

AND WRITINGS.

AND DEATH IS AN OCCASION TO SWEEP THROUGH.

OF WHAT CLAUDE LEVY STRAUSS PUBLISHED,THESE ARE NOTABLE:

MYTHOLOGY OF INDIGINOUS TRIBES,IN 4 VOLUMES

TRISTE TROPIQUE(A WORLD ON THE WANE),1955

SAVAGE MIND,1962

CULINARY TRIANGLE,1965

we'll keep you posted with further notes.

SOCRATES,A PARADIGM

SOCRATES WAS HAFEZ OF ATHENS.THE FATHER OF PHILOSOPHY LIKE OUR FATHER OF POETRY AND LIBERTINISM WAS A MASTER OF " NOT..BUT ",AND I MEAN : NOT WISE BUT OTHERWISE SAGE.THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON HE WAS COMPARED TO RELIGIOUS FOUNDER FIGURE SUCH AS BUDDHA OR JESUS CHRIST,and larger than life
VERY INTERESTINGLY SOMEONE ELSE,CALLED PLATO,WROTE SOCRATES BIO AND STILL CALLED IT :AUTOBIOGRAPHY..Lyers!But WHO CARES, AS LONG AS WE GET TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN HIS MIND.,and or in his disciple's mind.
SOCRATES LIVED BETWEEN 470 OR 469 TO 399 BC AND HIS bdWAS JUNE 4  ,ACCORDING TO WHATEVER CALLENDAR,ALTHOUGH WE KNOW IT WAS AT THE TIME OF ONE OF PERSIAN-GREEK WAR IN PLATEA ,TO SUCCESSFULLY REDUCE CIVILIZATIONS TO the level of ASHES and dust,AND LET THE SPECTATORS ENJOY it.HE INFLUNCED PLATO AND OTHERS IN GRECO ROMAN SCHOOL OF THOUGHT." WITH THE EXCEPTION OF EPICUREANS, EVERY PHILOSOPHICAL SCHOOL IN ANTIQUITY,WHATEVER ITS ORIENTATION,SAW IN HIM EITHER ITS ACTUAL FOUNDER OR THE TYPE OF PERSON TO WHOM ITS ADHERENCE WERE TO ASPIRE"(STANFORD ENCYLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY)

ENIGMATIC UNKNOWN SOCRATES
SPREADED WIND WITH WINGS OF CLOUDS
TO TAKE THE WORLD BACK TO MAN
TO SHOW HIM
KNOWLEDGE IS WHAT
I DO NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE
'CAUSE
" I KNOW WHAT I KNOW NOTHING"
HE WAS IN DIALOGUE WITH DEATH
WITH LIFE WITH DEATH AGAIN.
LIFE IS VIRTUE OF SELF DEVELOPMENT
NOT FOR WEALTH
BUT FOR HEALTHY POPULACE(wellth?)
A MAN OF REASON
THE RENAISSANCE MAN.

THERE IS A CLOWN
IN CLOUDS OF CLOSET
CLOUDS LAYING EGGS
IN THE WIND
A CLOWN IS BORN.

POISON IS A VEHICLE FOR Socrates
DEATH IS MIGRATION.

-F.S.
TO ANSWER YOU WHO SOCRATES WAS,now that you got to know Kant,and liked the poem I wrote for him ,on the occasion of Earth Day.This one written ON Socrates  BIRTHDAY.

LOVE PLATONIC STYLE

IT IS ALL PLATO'S FAULT WHO WAS BORN MAY 21,428 B.C. AND LASTED TILL 347 B.C. THE BROAD SHOULDER THINKER REDUCED LOVE TO DIALOGUE ON LOVE.SO SOMEONE NAMED NIETZSCHE DIALOGUED THAT IT IS ALL FOR POWER AND THE OTHER GUY WHOSE LAST NAME WAS SCHOPENHAUER CLAIMED POWER AS SEX DRIVE IS RESPONSIBLE.
ALL THESE THINGS BROUGHT UP SUSPICION THAT MEN ARE AFTER LOVE TO MAKE SURE THEY'LL STAY ON POWER AND KEEP THEIR TIGHT GRIP ON THE OTHER SEX.WHILE OTHER THINK TANKS THOUGHT ALL THESE ARE MUTUAL,AND FROM LOVE TO SEX TO POWER IT IS ALL ON GIVE AND TAKE BASIS AND GIVE AND TAKE AGREEMENT OF NATURE'S NATURE.SO EVERYBODY CONCURRS TO TAKE SIDE AND PLAY THESE ROLES.
AFTER ALL FOUCAULT IS THE ONE WHO EMPHASISED ON ROLE OF SHOULDER IN THIS MATTER:
ONE BENDS FOR ONE TO PUT THE BURDEN ON THE SHOULDER.
THE POINT IS WHOSE SHOULDER IT IS AND WHOSE BURDEN.HERE COMES DISCUSSION AND DIALOGUE AND DIFFERENC ABOUT LOVE,RATHER THAN LOVE ITSELF.AND THAT IS ALL PLATO'S FAULT ON HIS B-D AND OR ANY OTHER DAYS OF THE YEAR.
BY THE WAY AT THAT TIME OF HISTORY WHERE THE HECK PLATO OR HIS FAMILY FOUND A CALENDAR TO REGISTER HIS BIRTHDAY ON IT AS OF MAY 21 ?!

*WITTGY IN HELL

I WENT TO SEE
LUDWIG JOSEF JOHANN
aka WITTGENSTEIN
IN HELL
TO SEE IF HE AND PHILOSOPHY
ARE DOING WELL.
WITTGY SHOOK HIS BIG HEAD
AFTER I IMPOSED
MY HEAVY DUTY QUESTION
AND WITHOUT LOOKING AT ME SAID:
AS LONG AS THEY TALK ABOUT
THE END OF PHILOSOPHY AND SUBJECTS
THAT IS A GOOD SIGN
PHILOSOPHY IS ALIVE AND WELL.
NOW YOU CAN GO BACK TO YOUR HELL
AND LET ALL BLIND-MEN-BY-CHOICE
SO CALLED PSYCHO-DETRACTORS
KNOW OF THIS
AND KEEP WHINING.

EARTH DAY '09/KANT

framarz soleimani ,by: faramarz soleimani

4 QUESTIONS ON EARTH DAY

With Kant who was born in earth day
to cast doubt on earth and day
and other stuff,
I have four questions:
what can I know?
what should I do?
what do I hope for?
what is human being?
...and who is this guy by the way?
