    Bad Points: The most boring book ever written


    General comments: Bernard Williams, Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy:

    Intuition is for girls we were told at a recent event about Bernard Williams. Seeing by understanding is for girls? I think not if you are mature, and not if you are young, if you do not want to be a headless chicken. The super ego is the I ought in Freud, needed also in Buddhism not by B Williams however, it is so you do not interfere with others he says in this book.

    God is dead Nietzsche he meant we will never transcend our current existence if we follow Christianity. B Williams says it means we should not treat God like a dead person! We should write a biography of 'him'! Are these the ramblings of a nutter. It seems yes it is!!

    A good man can not be harmed if he calls a very spiritual view. A good man needs friends. All this he gets from Socrates and Aristotle. He quotes Plato's view of a bad person as a compulsive addict and unenviable wreck. There is nothing natural in a human being he says. He quotes Kant a lot, and his Metaphysics of Morals is what sounds good, so it will not get to the bottom of anything as this book fails to do nothing more than a man in an ivory tower sticking up for the status quo.
