For use in my courses, additions to my Texts in Philosophy page.
Aristotle, Books 1-4 of Nicomachean Ethics (c. 335 BCE)
Alain Badiou, “The Adventure of French Philosophy” (2004).
Immanuel Kant, On Education (1803).
Maximilien Robespierre, The Cult of the Supreme Being (1794).
The activity, movement, program described in “The Adventure of French Philosophy” seems to be choosing to be insane. That is, attempting to create an existence divorced from experience. (Or did I misunderstand this mess?)
