I certainly don't read philosophical treatise like fiction novels.

Gambler, what book was it where Nietzsche talked about reading and readers? Do you remember?

I think he hates your guts. You should probably change avatars. He's probably starting little earthquakes wherever his corpse is buried.

(Somewhere in Germany)

Omg .wtf is going on !!!

Bewildered stares,. Shock. Babies crying.

Broken dishes. Barking dogs.




(Some little asshole philosophy student who doesn't know Nietzsche from his elbow won't switch avatars )

I did a lot of my reading -around- kant. Class articles and books like 'a very short introduction'.

I guess I was eager to jump into the work of thinkers much more alluring to me as an undergrad. Perhaps it works out for the better -- I am considerably more fascinated with kant now than I had ever been before.

Although the writing sample does seem a bit gimmicky, we really don't have any idea how well it is written. Moreover, I don't think there is really any evidence to suggest that professors in those programs will look bad at a dialogue just because it is a dialogue. I think you are spot-on about who to take advice from, though.

Please do! No problem. 

Good luck to you too!

This thread started out so promising. Let's not feed the trolls and instead focus on the questions that bar_scene prompted. 

Have you considered doing philosophy for yourself?

Your -own- philosophy? To be you own Nietzsche, your own heiddegrr, your own camus?

Deleuze is not a 'great philosopher'.

You only think so because he is famous. Not because you think for yourself.

You find it interesting because it seems exotic to you, and because you see it as 'advanced' curriculum. Not because you are interested in him as he might prove historically relevant -- which would be quite a compliment for him.

Shouldn't you be busy trying to find two other letter writers?

But seriously, imagine how this guy must treat his wife.

I don't hear the things I need to hear from you.

Whom among you genuinely seek Truth. to read and write and think that you might come to Truth.

To love philosophy not as an end but as a means.

None of you. At most such motivation has been forgotten -- for prestige, or maybe a cool career?

Hear me tower in greatness over you, that I love not philosophy but Truth !

(Edited for vulgar content)

Why don you give a brief synopsis on the historical significance in de lose.

We can do philosophy. Would you like that?

If you haven't completed your writing sample yet, you should definitely work on that instead.
