Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Spontaneity.
ABOUT ME
Oh boy. Hmmm, I'm a 27 yr old philosophy grad student at the University of Guelph (Guelph, ON). My area of research is political and ethical theory-- particularly questions of justice and community. I was born in Mexico but have been in Canada for about 9 years now.
PHILOSOPHY
Haha, really? Well, I've always been to rend between transcendental idealism and neo-pragmatism; however, lately I've developed somewhat of a taste for deconstruction.
No, but seriously. It would be so something like this:
Vamos. Sin miedo y con los ojos bien abiertos. (Let's go. Without fear and with eyes wide open)
and this: solamente lo necesario (only what is truly necessary)
And this: "love is faithful only to itself" jean-luc nancy.
