Philo-philosophy - Picasso On The Beach

Chapter 12 entitled 'Picasso On The Beach', from the book The Pig That Wants To Be Eaten written by philosopher Julian Baggini, deliberates how any form of performance would be able to maintain a permanent existence, provoking thoughts that the possibility of human desire for preservation could surface a form of denial about our own mortality...

A brilliant read for those of us who enjoy a good wander around our philosophically-attracted thoughts, I leave you with this:
'If we accept that art is mortal too, and that nothing is truly permanent, maybe we can see more clearly where the value of art and life is to be found: in experiencing them.'


Other books by Julian Baggini include;

Free-falling into the rabbit hole with Ms Hurley

With a fabulous flair for the fairy-tale narrative, my London girl Annette ('Netti' to her closest comrades) is an exuberant writer currently interning at Spoonfed.

Her articles are already proving a must-read, and will have you hooked in anticipation for her next experience!

Here is one of my favourite reads...

A Motorbike Odyssey

My audacious friend Joe is 2 months into his Pan American Adventure - journeying approx. 30,000miles from the southern tip of South America to the Arctic Circle on his motorbike.


Keep him company by commenting on his blog and suggesting spots to snap, or feel-good audio for his autonomous travel soundtrack!

I Still Have My Feet On The Ground, I Just Wear Better Shoes!

My talented Dutch girlfriend, Miss Jelske Peterson, is kicking up a high-heeled hedonistic hurricane in Amsterdam with her edgy and beautifully handmade shoes.

As George Bernard Shaw once said, 'If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat' - so until I can afford one of these sexy pairs, I'd better find a good hat!
