What one typically finds... Is that everything one could think up... Has been said before. Its just applying it to something where nobody has done that before. Or something like that. Its kind of a mixed blessing to read something and you think 'hey! thats my idea!' Its disillusioning at times that someone else thought of it first. But then its validating too. And sometimes there are critiques of their view that your version can avoid, or you can try and defend their version against subsequent attacks or whatever.
And its a game... Its just a crazy game... I just need to work (a lot) on my style.
(Though I think I should be forgiven for that in that last effort which is more a draft than anything else because I was too busy babbling...)
;-)> Might just buy Semrad: The Heart of a Therapist, it sounds kinda interesting.
Yeah. It did look interesting.
I started reading Sass' book on delusions (well, what was available via amazon) and that looked interesting too...Its just that Sass is more continentally inclined. He's quite harsh on analytic philosophy. About it creating false dichotomies / problems. About philosophers being theory driven rather than case study driven. But... what am i supposed to do????? <whine>
