        The supplement reminds me of what I refer to as a placeholder, or more precisely, meta syntactic variables.

          I have to say I think Trump is better than anything the left was offering in the form of Clinton, but he’s still a politician and will screw everyone over. The right wing are dreaming when they say he’s a saviour.

            Another possibility is guilt. If we are unable to make a mends with someone who has passed away.

              Great PDF so far, up to page 23 or so. I have the same misgivings with the term Narcissism as the ones described. It means everything and therefore nothing. If someone has a weak sense of inner experience (nonego) then they are Narcissistic, if they are too concerned with inner experience they are Narcissistic too.

              How could Kohut have put them both in the same category? The answer is that, since the standard Oedipal material is not principally important in either type, he left them together.

                  Funny how obsessed his stalker became, almost like in seeking the other he was discovering himself.

                    I already mentioned earlier that indifference here still implies the effect of narcissism in human beings – we still look outwards for our inner principles, believing an echo will return to us as we seek for knowledge.

                      It may not be possible to escape from notions of essences, or metaphysics altogether. We can only offer our due diligence toward the subject. Derrida sees this as a symptom of logos which is the inward rational principle of all things. I believe this is nothing but narcissism, we believe the universe will echo back to us, even if we see the universe as indifferent, we ourselves will be indifferent.

                        Narcissism seems to be the key theme in philosophy, especially when we think of natural law as being an ‘echo’ back to us from the universe itself. If there is an essence for human beings, it would be narcissism imo.

                            Top thread. I think the term ‘radical feminist’ should be replaced with female supremecist. Radical Feminism has contributed much to the backbone of Feminism.

                                  Philosophy is the love of wisdom, it’s the overarching subject of all subjects. Philosophy comes before any method or discipline.
