    I'm 100. At least I think I am... Could I be the Ellen West of the modern world? :O Okay, I doubt anyone would get that reference, so I'm around 20 if you must know.

    Camus' reason for Absurdism becomes all the more touching once you know the story behind him and his love for Algeria. And I've read a few of Kant's dissertations on Determinism, but not much apart from that. Anyways, I'll keep your helpful order of reads in mind tomorrow when I pillage the library >:D

    I really wish I could keep up with you, too. I'm not familiar with Hegel at all, nor can I understand how you relate him with others. Uhh, like I said, I'll check out some of his work, along with more of Kant's, tomorrow. Any recommendation on where to start with Hegel?

    I was rated most astute observer of the year in HS (okay, that's a lie, but fanks for the compliment).

    I'm actually not familiar with Hegel, but I just took a glance at his profile on Wikipedia. I'm not sure if this is simply hyperbole or if he's really this incredible, but you've gotten me interested. Anyone who revolutionizes anything, nonetheless the entire platform of European Philosophy, is definitely look-up-worthy. Baruch Spinoza comes to mind with this accomplishment, too.

    I haven't read much of Nietzsche, so I won't debate over the validity of that, but that anti-foundationalist approach to labels reminds me of Camus -- where he fervently denied the existentialist characterization, and instead relished in his own idea of Absurdism. I'll check Hegel and Nietzsche out this week and get back to on what I think of them :]

    I read Fathers and Sons a little while back — out of regard to the novel's importance to philosophy (especially Nihilism) and life in general (it does have a Marxist feel to it — with regards to rebellion).

    I actually brought the guy up because I remember, I think a week ago, you answering a question while noting Nietzsche. And, Nietzsche being the father of Nihilism... Well, I thought you'd be interested in the grandfather of Nihilism :D
