Re: [PEIRCE-L] Re: “Is it possible to advance philosophy today?”

Very sad thoughts.
I spent the last two days with two workers (father and son) who pulled up
the verandas over my 2 balconies. The human dimension is different. We
maybe exchanged 100 practical words. The son plays the drums, the father
the guitar. And I have 2 verandas. Ecstatically I watch them.
What do I want to say? That sometimes I think that my ideal is to be a
farmer.
