This morning I talked with a professor about Kant, the 'highest good' and 'moral motivation'. Last week only the Marxist stood by me as the dogs of Shanxi barked out stories of unrequited love. They say the sun can do strange things to a man. No stranger things than here in Taiyuan. So I asked the professor if there are limitations to happiness. He said 'happiness is about faith' So I went and told the Marxist about the sun, Kant and happiness
This was a reflection on a conversation I had this morning with a professor of philosophy I know
