On Hegelian Dialectic, Levinasian Infinite, And Bananas

Lol of the day: When talking about Hegelian dialectic in relation to Levinas' concept of the face of the other and the infinite concerning the necessary tension between the value of the individual and value of the institution, Dr. R. Wood states:

"Consider a 6'6" basketball player. He was so tall he could jump and get a quarter off the top of the backboard. But what is that without the institution of basketball -getting more bananas?"

On Punctuality, Church, And Korean Dramas

Lol of the Day: on why he is late to church:

"I leave when my mom leaves. I can't leave any earlier. She sits on the couch like this , with curlers in her hair, watching korean dramas."

On Plato, Ethical Theory, And Ships

Lol of the day: whenever my professor talks about the analogous relationship between Platonic mousike in the Republic to Aristotelean philosophy education in the Politics he gets really excited and said:

"I bet if I keep reading in the Republic I will see Plato talk about the necessity of action in. So I kept reading and said to myself 'holy crap! There it was.'"

But he didn't use crap; he used a word analogous to crap -like ship. At first I thought it was an accident, but then he did it five more times.
