Personal Marx

·        I wonder at books have the pervasive influence on the varied schools of thought because of their enduring pertinence to the messianic dynamism of the communist appeal. No philosopher, I believe, can add humanistic dimension to Marx’s economic reasoning or even can succeed in recasting his ideas as ‘philosophical anthropology’ with out throwing the origin and meaning of Marx’s doctrine out of focus. Read all of Marx’s thought, down to the very fine print of its economic analysis, nothing could have been less welcome to the general run of Marxists, Leninism and the positivistic norms that goes with it is to have the moral philosopher articulating the survival of unfittest in the accents of a secular eschatology. Those inclined to do so have created their personal Marxism.   

Poet’s burden

·        Language used to express our relation with ourselves and with world is poetry. Every man lives in the world of his own meanings; but man can only be a poetical animal if he can see poetry in its birth in the growth of flower and in the harmony of waves; therefore, this is the poet’s burden to act on behalf of others to communicate all that is worth remembering.

·        Great soldiers are always willing to go for dangerous missions; one has to be mad to volunteer for possible death; therefore every great soldier is mad.

·         We need no medical examination for diagnosis; whoever wants to marry is crazy.

Regression fallacy to absolve from responsibility and giving credit of doing nothing

(President gives a speech to respond to charges of unprecedented corruption in his tenure)

·       My connivance at financial mal practices was deliberate as I wanted to give everyone a chance to clean up his conduct, but now as it is has become increasingly clear as things are getting worse that they have failed to benefit from my leniency, I had no option than to take strict measures and you can see that there is an alleviation of corruption.

(Alleviation after it has gotten exceptionally worse is followed by normal corruption but action is presented as the propter hoc cause of the change)
