Quote of the Day

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.
Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day.
The content of your character is your choice.

Day by day, what you choose, what you think, and what you do is who you become.
Your integrity is your destiny ... it is the light that guides your way.
-- Heraclitus (?535 BC-475 BC) Greek Philosopher

Sounds like a blending of Obama's, Bush's and Clinton's politic bull crap! The Greek Heraclitus a politician?

I guess this truly does mean Van Jones is a racist.

Heraclitus came just a little before Obama and Clinton...

He was a pre-socratic greek philosopher. One who was more or less overlooked because Plato criticized him. Nietzsche and others focused their attention on him and started to make him a bit more popular and well-known within the western philosophical tradition.

CP: Thanks for the info. I bought a book one time by Heroditus because I had him confused with Heraclitus...

Richard Rorty was quite an interesting intellectual.

The Philosophy of Political Science--Same BS for years and across boarders.

Rorty was amazing. If you want to know the type of philosopher I want to be, read him.

What's "the philosophy of political science"?
