If you have 100% Sartre have you got 'Being and Nothingness' on your bookshelf?

Re: Sartre

Nope, fraid not. Despite 2 years of philosophy at university I hardly have any philosophy on my shelves.

Oh mystery person, would you recommend it and if so can you lend me some (if you're in the country).

you bet - it looks good on the bookshelf. Having said that I can't find mine: must have lent it to someone.

Out of interest - do i know you?

out of interest - indirectly

NB I have found my copy of Being and Nothingness - Hurrah - now I remember what bad faith is

Hmm. Thinking about this logically, you could be of Meredith's family (Hugh having been showing her mother useful things on the internet a few days ago), one of Nathan's extended brood (I'd guess Susie in that case) or associated with one of the Edinburgh crew I've been adding lately (I know that there's some very smart cookies in there, as the university/goth crowd have a large crossover).

You're unlikely to be a friend of Mike's (as he hardly ever posts and, AFAIK, hasn't told anyone at his work that he has a journal) and I'm temporarily at a loss to think of anyone else that's liable to point people at my journal.

Hmm, insufficient evidence for any kind of conclusion, I shall have to wait and see.

You will, without a doubt, continue to use deductive thinking!

Actually, I'll leap on to Google, search for Garthmyl and decide that you're Welsh. Or have been to Wales. Or read the word and liked it enough to use it as a pseudonym. Or something.

When you're avoided assumptions, it's amazing how much you don't know.
