The Indian Thread (TiT) # 15

<p>*This be the United Arab Emirates. Easter’s not exactly a state holiday. :slight_smile: We really don’t have any school left actually. Our Farewell’s over, and as soon as the Boards are done we don’t have any reason to ever return. (Of course the way things normally happen, we’ll probably still be going to school nearly every day for Debate and the like. :p) Other than that, after tomorrow, we’re done.</p>

<p>I’m planning to read the rest of Nietzsche’s works. :D</p>

<p>And then maybe read [url=<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Companion-Kant-Companions-Philosophy/dp/0521365872]this.[/url”>http://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Companion-Kant-Companions-Philosophy/dp/0521365872]this.[/url</a>]</p>

<p>‘Maybe’ because I can’t seem to find this book anywhere. The bookstores here are useless. :mad:</p>

<p>Oh yeah, I’m also going to be partying like crazy with my friends. But that ^ is what I would do when I’m not doing this.</p>

<p>

You are in which A-level board? HK or Cambridge?</p>

<p>I’ll party too…
just that I get in at least some college…</p>

<p>You might find a book I have interesting, Lakshya, its part of a series on philosophy, ancient, and I’ve been unable to find the other books in the series anywhere. It’s essentially a commentary on 19th century philosophers (Kant, Schopenhauer, Goethe and the like) by a Harvard prof of philosophy, with analysis and samplings from their works.</p>

<p>I just went through the Stephen Hawking’s ‘‘God created the integers : The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History’’…awesome!!!>…</p>

<p>btw, Which Virus scan is best???..(which also protects against latest spyware…)…</p>

<p>And there is a huge news around about cricket match-fixing in relation to Woolmer’s sad demise…</p>

<p>I’ve been running Macafee for the past few months. Works well, minimum of fuss. (But then I’ve never, ever been attacked by a virus *touches wood so I really couldn’t say. :))</p>

<p>That’s Avast, not Macafee :smiley: (I’ll save the verbal snipe for later shall I?)</p>

<p>AVG works well too.</p>

<p>Yeah…I use AVG too (full version…i made the keygen…<em>evil grin</em>)</p>

<p>And Hi Everyone, </p>

<p>I’m Milan…from India. Good to see an Indian thread in CC.</p>

<p>Catch y’all later.</p>

<p>Cheers.</p>

<p>why does everyone use cheers in their ending?</p>

<p>hi milan… welcome to cc and the Indian thread!</p>

<p>Daily Round up: 72 posts…</p>

<p>If there’s anybody at all out there today :p, I’m off for Bio! :D</p>

<p>Best of Luck for it. Get a 100. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Wow, you MADE the keygen? How do you do that?</p>

<p>@Lakshya M</p>

<p>In my opinion, the Cambridge Companion books aren’t really useful for beginners. I think they’re meant for people who seriously want to study Kant (or whoever the book is about) rather than just studying his philosophy.</p>

<p>If you’re really keen, why not dive into his “critique of pure reason”? You might not be able to understand it completely at first, but eventually you will. I too wanted to read Kant’s Critique, but I thought it would be a better idea to start with the British Empiricists and then read Kant as a follow up. So I’ve started with Locke’s essay - but thats no easy read either!</p>

<p>I’ve already read ‘Critique of Pure Reason’. And I’ve also read Locke’s ‘Two Treatise of Government’ online at Project Gutenburg. Though, I haven’t really found anything else by him.</p>
