Why Do I Write?
I write to know my own mind, to actualize my own mind, and to attract a few like-minded and contrary-minded people. The like-minded lend support, and the contrary-minded – assuming that their criticisms are rationally based – allow me to test my ideas. Dialectic is to the philosopher what experiment is to the scientist.
Why Do I Blog?
If you are going to write at all, why not publish? Why hide your light under a bushel? To publish is to make public, and the beauty of blogging is that no editor stands between the blogger and his audience.
Writing and Self-Expression
Good writing is not any sort of petty self-expression, but an expression of the engagement of mind with world whereby the little logos of the individual seeks to adjust itself to the world-Logos.
