| Introduction | My initial journey through the dusty halls of philosophy was once that of disillusionment. At every turn our idols fell, failing to meet our highest of expectations. They just could not get access to reality, guide us to a secure morality, inform us of the Beautiful. All seemed shrouded, except for the sceptic's laughter resounding around our ears. Yet, along came those brave men of the last two centuries, among whom were Nietzsche and Wittgenstein, who questioned questions, and sought to empower man. Reality, morality, beauty were not things to found, or reasoned towards. These aspects of life were already clear before the eyes of their creators; humanity. This message I hope to continue, in my own simple way, such as it is. Humanity, for me, is still lost in some metaphysical cloud clinging onto the last remnants of the old order. We have yet to notice our own true greatness. The order we see in the world, the morality we hold dear, the Beauty that we behold, these are the children of humanity. |
