Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Personally, something like Warhol is uninspiring and gimmicky. I understand why people thought it brilliant for its time, but its not brilliant anymore Years ago I thought that as well, but now I view Warhol as a sort of visionary: and though the art-bidness has given him the stamp of "pop" I am no...

Ok, I really have nothing more to say on this. You certainly imply naturalistic inclinations (and Wm.

It is not knowledge, not content of feeling (for all content is admitted from the start, where a man comes to terms with life), it is not duty and not renunciation, it is not restriction: but in the infinite extent of the universe it is a directio...

If some strange preacher were to ask two people to believe in a religion entitled Cult of the Flying Pig, and has a text claiming that pigs do indeed fly, and one chooses to join and believe in the cult (based on the premise that pigs do fly), and one doesn't, s...

To Kierkegaard I do not subscribe: if you read my passage more carefully you will note I'm attacking that "leap of faith," which is required of any of those who wish to be Christians. My point is that Scripture and religions in general are too irrational to warrant a belief in; thus, we should resis...
