I find they frequently relate to one another.

Just today, for instance, the idea of the difference of linear and exponential trends are discussed in both the economics and Nicole Oresme. Oresme terms exponential as Difformly Difform and linear as Uniformly Difform, but they both essentially talk about those same relations. They are tangentially related.

Topics is largely a book on dialectics and Bentham is a legislator, frequently these are related as well. Although much less so than the others, Bentham is a terrible philosopher. He is decent at law, so I find it somewhat interesting still. :3

Currently reading: Wabi Sabi

>With the great haiku poet Matsuo Basho (1644–1684), the term sabi was employed as an aesthetic juxtaposition to the essence of life and threw into focus the impermanence of our situation and the folly of trying to deny this unmovable truth. The beauty of Basho’s prose, however, took the negative aspects of old age, loneliness, and death and imbued them with a serene sense of beauty.
>Melancholy, an emotion nurtured in the Zen world, was used as a whetstone on which to sharpen spiritual awareness; this was not a self-indulgent form of self-pity but rather a sadness tinged with an intangible longing. It was in the face of the most undesirable of human conditions that real beauty could be found and the chords of the unconscious spirit, so aware of our fragility, can be touched very deeply when our worlds are put into context. Some, like the great Zen academic Daisetz Suzuki, suggest that it is a longing for the world we left as children, the world of the here and now, undefined by lan- guage or values, just a pure experience of reality. It is a world that, at some point in everyone’s childhood, is surrendered for the world of logic—a world that is constantly being analyzed and explained by intellectual machinations, a world that no is longer in direct contact with the present.
