Thought 5: Philosophical and Psychological Complexities

Hi all,

This week I talked about a lot haha. I discuss the story of Tlon, Pierre Menard, The Secret Miracle, and Borges and I. This week, I dedicate to understanding how the mind works, the role of language, what makes a person, the purpose of creating art, and the self… Like I said, many things to be discussed.

Question: Do you believe that “existence precedes essence”? This is a central question in Pierre Menard, and I would love to hear what you have to say. Put another way, do you believe that you can “create yourself,” or do you believe that there is a you, a Self, that can be discovered?

See ya Tuesday – Curtis
