Calm afternoon looking at my plants and the old architecture from the window, and the timeless trees in the background. And the news about cats and dogs being eaten. #gregoriusadvena #TuesdayFeeling
Yet another day is passing by. The urge to say something where there is nothing to say. #gregoriusadvena
The rain goes on. So much that I've dedicated some of my writings to it. I don't understand how some people can find clouds depressing. To me, it's mystical. #rain #nature #GregoriusAdvena

I look at my old-fashioned geraniums by the window and smile. I only let white flowers in. They soothe me when the mind wanders. I shake my head in horror for the misery of the world, and for a second the world smiles back. #Sundayfeeling #GregoriusAdvena #thought
[Spiritual Letters] For several reasons, the original plan to write in German could not be realised. The topics are well served in English. But to thank the friends who have encouraged my work in the last 15 years, I have added a detailed postface in German. #GregoriusAdvena

Quiet morning. Looking at the trees from my window as I read and write. The fine line between leisure and torture. And the foreboding certainty that the hours are numbered. #wednesdaythought #GregoriusAdvena #reflection

#ChatGPT is featuring more and more paid functions. Soon the whole thing will be a paid service. The bane of #modernity is to turn every cause, every service, every act of life into a commodity. #philosophy #GregoriusAdvena

As my knee gradually heals, I can venture forth into the countryside again. #NatureBeauty #SaturdayVibes #gregoriusadvena #landscape
The foundations of #inequality also go back to the structure of #contracts. Procedures we regard as a matter of course ought to be regarded more critically in the theory of contracts. #law #society #GregoriusAdvena
It must have been hard for Bach to see mediocre musicians fare better and receive more favour in court. Beethoven, for all his genius, never got a position as Kapellmeister, despite applying for jobs all his life. Refined ambition comes at a price. #culture #aesthetics #art #music #GregoriusAdvena
I am often called a critic of #religion, but rather in the superficial way of those who misconstrue dialectical analysis as blaming. Never have I advocated for a world without religion, nor for a #rationalist crusade against it. #philosophy #GregoriusAdvena
In terms of style, philosophers can be (a) literary, e.g. Nietzsche, Voltaire, (b) essayistic, e.g. Schopenhauer, Deleuze, or (c) academic, e.g. Quine, Kuhn. With many intersections. All approaches have ups and downs. #philosophy #literature #FindYourVoice #GregoriusAdvena
