The Ontological Boy

Bertrand Russell wrote in My Philosophical Development: It was toward the end of 1892 that Moore and I rebelled against both Kant and Hegel. Moore led the way, but I followed closely in his footsteps. I think the first published account of the new philosophy was Moore’s article in Mind on ‘The Nature of Judgment’ … I felt … a great liberation, as if I had escaped from a hot house onto a windswept headland … in the first exuberance of liberation, I became a naïve realist and rejoiced in the thought that grass really is green.

6202 Being pursues us with questions that cannot be answered. Being offers us the tool of Reason. Being argues the argument in our place. The arguing goes on through the long night. You must stand and wait. All attempts at getting these warriors of Being to lay down their swords are cur-tailed.

The people have learned to hate philosophical argument. But it is God with us. Theology is anti-life, otherworldly. It destroys pleasure. Except for the one addicted to love. Pointless, ordered agitation. A twisted ordering. Fire. More questions, more answers, more questions. Then the absurdity of a perfect resolution. At the end no one can deny the argument. Thus no one can deny God. God is this pressing of the point. The Paraclete will help you but he will also make you hopelessly fall into love's incessant turning.

Or do you disagree? We have time to argue. And really we have nothing else.
