Philosophical splurgings (aphorisms)

Something fundamental is left out with that which is poetry for the sake of being poetic, or that which is art for the sake of being artful.

There's nothing easier than philosophy. It ultimately boils down to the obvious or the dogmatic.

Ethics as an inquiry is strictly functional. You first ask what you want and then develop the best means to achieve them.

There is no such thing as "objective" ethics. It's a blatant contradiction.

We're in no position to contemplate ultimate ends; our vantage point won't permit it.

The question of Good and Evil is too reliant on ontological categories to be tenable. If you remove the ontology from our language, you'd soon wonder what it was that was ever being asked about it.

Subjectivity is simply a perspective on the world. (A microcosm.)

What separates ethics and wanton preferences is the articulation of reason. Mutually shared "ends" are the only things that lend ethics credibility.

"De gustibus non est disputandum." That's all you ever need know about aesthetics.

Education is necessarily biased. Constraints on time and subject content guarantee this.
