"The best ideas are common property" -- Seneca

This site is dedicated to great thinkers, the Big Ideas, film, music, snowboarding, and 'whatever blows your hair back.'

We’ll be exploring the following;

1)      WHO – was Soren Kierkegaard and what did he write about (chapter by dreaded chapter!).

2)      WHAT – do the terms ARETE and SOPHROSYNE mean, and how do they apply to the ‘life worth living?’

3)      WHERE – “And when you want to live… how do you start… where do you go… who do you need to know…?” The Smiths – The Boy With the Thorn in His Side

4)      WHY – bother mixing philosophy with religion – or giving credit to either?

5)      WHEN – is the next…

a)      Great Snowboarding Trip?

b)      Lebowski Fest?

c)     Re-issue of Kierkegaard’s Upbuilding Discourses in Various Spirits :  Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 15 going to be reprinted?
