  • David Foster Wallace on the Good Life

    David Foster Wallace on the Good Life

    10/31/2014Forthcoming in Freedom & Self: The Philosophy of David Foster Wallace 124 6 David Foster Wallace on the Good Life Nathan Ballantyne and Justin Tosi Dostoevsky wrote fiction about the stuff that’s really important. He wrote fiction about identity, moral value, death, will, sexual vs. spiritual love, greed, freedom, obsession, reason, faith, suicide. And he did it without ever reducing his characters to mouthpieces or his books to tracts. His concern was always what it is to be a human being—that is, how to be an actual person, someone whose life is informed by values and principles, instead of just an especially shrewd kind of self-preserving animal. —David Foster Wallace, “Joseph Frank’s Dostoevsky” David Foster Wallace thought that the point of writing fiction was to explore what it is to be a 1 human being. In this essay, we argue that his writings suggest a view about what philosophers would call the good life . Wallace’s perspective is subtle and worthy of attention. We’ll contrast what Wallace says with some popular positions from moral philosophy and contemporary culture. Wallace said much about ethical matters even though he didn’t write on them formally or systematically. How then shall we distill views from his writings? Our strategy is to present Wallace’s reactions, as found in his fiction and some essays, to three positions about the good life. We will ask what Wallace would make of those positions and thus try to triangulate his own view by reference to them. The first position we’ll explore is sometimes called ironism .

  • 275. – Part One

    275. – Part One

    275. – PART ONE 275. Clifford (1994) Okay, here’s the deal: I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but if you are anywhere near a television right now I need you to stop whatever it is that you’re doing and go watch “Clifford” on HBO Max. This is another film that has a 10% score on Rotten Tomatoes which just leads me to believe that all of the critics who were popular in the nineties didn’t have a single shred of humor in any of their non-existent funny bones. I loved this movie when I was seven, and I love it even more when I’m thirty-three. It’s genius. Martin Short (who at the time was forty-four) plays a ten-year-old hyperactive nightmare child from hell. I mean it, this kid might actually be the devil. He is straight up evil, conniving, manipulative and all-told probably causes no less than ten million dollars-worth of property damage. And, again, the plot is so simple – he just wants to go to Dinosaur World. There are so many comedy films with such complicated plots and motivations for their characters, but the simplistic genius of “Clifford” is just this – all this kid wants on the entire planet is to go to Dinosaur World. That’s it. The movie starts with him and his parents on an plane to Hawaii for a business trip, and Clifford knows that Dinosaur Land is in Los Angeles, therefore he causes so much of a ruckus that the plane has to make an emergency landing.

    Jehovah Elohim.Mus

    2 JEHOVAH ELOHIM – Jehovah (meaning “The Lord”) Elohim (meaning “God”) is the first name given to God, found in of Genesis 1:1. This name shows that God is the majestic ruler over all. Elohim is actually a plural word, and its use as the first name of God sets Him high above all other gods. It also foreshadows the later revelation of the Triune Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Dynamics and tempo play an important part in Joel Raney’s sensitive setting of this song, so pay careful attention to them, thus heightening the song’s beauty and awe-inspiring tone. With the inclusion of VENI EMMANUEL, the anthem becomes a perfect selection for Advent. Related scriptures include Isaiah 40:1-5 and 11:1-10 and John 1:1-8. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD is a three-time Emmy-winning co-host of the fourth hour of TODAY , alongside Hoda Kotb. The Gifford-Kotb hour has been hailed as “appointment television” by Entertainment Weekly , and “TODAY’s happy hour” by USA Today . Prior to NBC News, Gifford served as the co-host of Live with Regis and Kathie Lee for 15 years, where she received 11 Emmy nominations. A playwright, producer, singer, songwriter and actress, Gifford has starred in numerous television programs and movies in her 40-year career. She has written several musicals, including Broadway’s SCANDALOUS , which received a Tony nomination. Gifford authored three NY Times bestselling books. Her book, Good Gifts, A Year In The Heart of a Home raised over $1 million for the Salvation Army.
