Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

The Body: Temple or Amusement Park?

Bourdain body not a temple

As I noted earlier, the celebrity chef, 'foodie,' and gastro-tourist, Anthony Bourdain, hanged himself in his hotel room recently.  I speculated that the man was spiritually adrift. "If Bourdain had a spiritual anchor, would he have so frivolously offed himself, as he apparently did?"

When I wrote that I was unaware of the above quotation.

Now I know the man was spiritually adrift. The view he gives vent to is utter nihilism. 

Perhaps later I will expand on the thought.
