So, school has started. Yet, it seems as though nothing has changed. From Summer that is. This is because my first lecture isn’t until November 4:th. Sure, I’ll be writhing a Bachelors Thesis until then (and then, and after then). But, still.
Apart from the thesis I’ll be taking two classes this semester. The first one is an introduction in artificial intelligence; I chose this one because it just seems awesome! The second one is one on the late Wittgenstein (and then late as in ‘his later philosophy’, which in many ways contradicts his early stuff, and not late as in dead… although he is… ok, it’s a course on the late, late Wittgenstein… and not late, late as in the last thing the late Wittgenstein did…). I’m taking this course for two reasons. The first one is that I’m not particularly interested in Wittgenstein and think he is overrated, most in my class disagree, I want to find out why. The second reason is that the professor (and this is a real professor not someone calling himself that just because he gives higher edu. lectures… although this one does that too… give lectures; not calls himself a professor because he does it… give lectures) is about to retire. He has for a while been writing on a book on Wittgenstein, the final interpretation, as he jokingly describes it. The lectures are to be given through that book. Seems interesting enough.
But, until all that starts I’m going to write another Bachelors Thesis and I’m going to continue researching the realms of Contract Ethics and Epistemology. I want to find out if a ‘modern’ view of mind and knowledge can work together with the use of a knowledge restricter (such as Rawls‘ Veil of Ignorance) or if those views of mind and knowledge threatens to fail the whole (Rawlsian) Contractualist project.
So.
Now you know.
