There is a finger and a moon that you'd be able to understand.

I do. It points to someone knocking on your closet door.

No answer to questions as usual.

Again, your arch for civility is recognizable and appreciated.


I think that same characteristic in you is reflected within your relationship to reaching for philosophical thought.



I know you look to me for many answers in relation to philosophy and I appreciate that. I take that responsibility seriously. I hope, in the questions of yours that I have addressed, I have provided you some meaningful insight.






I wish you all the best.

Oo! Lookee! Cut-paste philosophical thought in action.*yawn*

Look, I don't want to disrespect you or continue to speak down to you.


I don't enjoy that.


If you find that I repeat something that I told you, it's because I don't think you listened the first time - or perhaps the second time.





I continue to wish you all the best in everything you attempt to understand...

We need the intellect; the finger, to focus upon the goal of philosophy but the finger is not the goal.

Very well; what does your intellect say about the goal of philosophy?

The finger is a tool.

Indeed. One which you say shows us what the goal of philosophy is and is then to be dispensed with.

As far as my characterization of an individual's possible relationship to art, I stand with every word I stated.

Oh, it's a possible relationship to art. Well, anything's possible.

I base that upon my individual experience and then later, through other philosophers, I was able to better understand what I went through.

Your experience may be different.

It is. Who are the other philosophers that confirm that your experience is sufficiently characteristic of actual artists to merit posting on a philosophy forum? If you want to share your autobiography, find a medium that is suited to that purpose.

Not sure if I gave you enough information to understand my position. May want to check yourself...

And having checked I can confirm that you haven't given me enough information, hence the questions.

I think this GIF may exemplify your position exactly in relation to myself:







................................................................................



You understand the importance & symbolism of the finger and the moon.




You're the monkey on the right.


You, quite correctly, dig for information from me; a genuine living philosopher.

You may focus on sniffing-out too much from the information that I provide here upon the Philosophy Now Forums.


I don't mind your inquisitiveness. As I may have stated before, I take that responsibility quite seriously.




I appreciate your warmth and curiosity. Those are tools that all of us as philosophers should cherish & keep handy in our box of tools.



I hope this helps!



All the best.

Bill,
can you direct me to an example of your metier which you believe exemplifies the philosophical value you claim, with a view to discussing it, in pictures if you wish, or are they all ad hominem assaults on another posters?

It's about images in general.



By ingraining other medium into this forum we expand our breath of understanding and expression.


Inviting the right brain into our posts is something that I will enjoy watching you embrace.




Cheers.


I look forward to seeing you use other people's images and your words.




All the best.
