Long shot in the Campfire but I'm generally interested. Does anyone enjoy or espouse any philosophers or philosophical movements?

Recommendations for reading?

Regards

Voltaire

Read "Candide"


Founder
Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."

I wrote my master's thesis on Kant's philosophy of mind.

If you don't mind, I'd enjoy reading it.

Top of the morning to you my southern friend, I trust the day is behaving down there and you're well.

Our eldest, my usual hunting partner and coffee connoisseur which I was discussing above, isn't really a reader as such but she did lend me her copy of some collected works of Voltaire.

In fact I did like Candide the best and honestly when one considers the time in which it was written, it's really provocative stuff as well as entertaining.

Good luck on your hunts this fall.

Jcubed;
Good morning, I hope the day is looking fine and bright in your part of the country and you're healthy.

I am not really qualified to answer your question intelligently but do enjoy listening to folks like Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Pageau discuss philosophy and symbolism. Much of it goes deeper than I've gone however or perhaps maybe am capable of going even.

While it's likely pretty lightweight stuff and I'm sure you've read it, I like to work my way through the classic "Meditations on Hunting" by Jose Ortega y Gasset every few years to see if I've changed my viewpoints any during the interim.

Thanks for the topic and discussion regardless though, it's good to see some of the 'Fire folks are of the deep sort.

Good luck on your hunts this fall.

Dwayne

I have not read Mr. Ortega but will put it on my list. You are surely qualified as are all other persons.

Hopefully, it will evoke discussion...

The closest I’ve come any of that, that you would consider following closely to is Col. Cooper’s writings

I enjoy listening to Jordan Peterson's podcast of late.

don't agree with everything of course but I am intrigued with them.

I've read the Meditations a few times.

But when it comes down to it............Ruark's "The Old man and the boy" is about as good as it gets for a non educated cajun.
