>"What I imagine here is a dramatization—and further strengthening—of civic solidarity through small-scale stagings between individuals in the public sphere. The purpose is not merely to produce social cohesion as a subset of stability, but to explore what it might mean to make living in tandem an experiment in living well, e.g. as infused with meanings reflective of our individual comprehensive existentialisms. Schiller’s aesthetic state of freedom is perhaps the most developed model here. What I owe another is truth, and so far as I have found it, it is my duty to persuade; hence, what I really owe another is perfectibility, in terms of both my own and theirs. Mutual perfectibility, measured aesthetically, might be the standard of this “growth-oriented” (see Dewey, Whitehead) liberalism."

I don't agree with msot of it, but it's a nice alternative to the guenon/moldbug/fascist shit that floods this place. just provocative enough.

Hey fellas, should I study philosophy? I know I'll end up starving, but is it worth it?
