Cognition of the world and self

ABOUT ME

I am an ordinary person that tries to get to know oneself and the world around. There's a plenty of things that arouse my curiosity where traveling and meeting new people are just one of the ways to satisfy my lust for new knowledge and experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Getting a bit closer to understanding of the order of all things is what makes me move further, I suppose.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I prefer movies that offer plots and narration deviating from the standard, ones that make the mind work after the movie itself is over.

Books: I like reading much of the scientific literature, mostly on philosophy, history, anthropology and psychology. When it comes to the fiction I have been reading for the several last years classic literature mostly (among which I specifically like classic French novel and Hugo in particular). I also love XX century literature: H.P. Lovecraft stories, dystopian novels (of Zamyatin, Orwell, Huxley), fantasy literature (I was reading "Game of Thrones" before it became mainstream)) and some of sci-fi.

Music: matters to me MUCH. You may get the overall impression of my tastes here - http://www.last.fm/user/Axius
