Purity in Academic Pursuits

Henry Imler June 16th, 2008

purity

 

While part of me agrees with the above picture, I have to also vehemently disagree.  The further you get from "purity" the closer you get to real people.  I am thinking of history, religious studies, etc…  Perhaps what I am trying to say is that dirty has value as well as purity.  This is part of my newfound problem with philosophy and philosophers.  Philosophy is a nice set of tools and ways to conceive the world.  However, I’d rather go build something with my tools rather than spend all day polishing my nice toolbox.  (With that said, I have and will always have a deep love for math.)

    Jake, you aren’t a math teacher, are you?
