There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.
~Edgar Allan Poe
i kept the lens distortion, i like what it adds to the composition and a bit of fallibility humanises the image
Danish existential philosopher Soren Kierkegaard died at the age of 42 at the height of his fame. He was laid to rest in Assistens Kirkegård Cemetery in Copenhagen (Kierkegaard's last name does sound like the word for cemetery in Danish, i.e. 'church-garden'). He was buried together with members of his family. This photo shows one of the memorial stones in the family plot, with Soren Kierkegaard's name below two siblings who died aged 12 and 25. The writing below Kierkegaard's name is a poem by an 18th century Danish Christian hymn writer, Hans Brorson, that Kierkegaard wished to be inscribed on his tombstone:
"It is a little while
then I have won,
then the whole struggle
with one disappeared,
then I can rest
in rose halls,
and incessantly
my Jesus speech"
Progetto Arcevia 2.0/12
In 1972, Italo Bartoletti initiated Progetto Arcevia, a vision of an existential community which simultaneously enriched the local community of Palazzo d’Arcevia (Italy) while at the same time providing a site for creatives – artists, philosophers, architects – to come together and collaborate.
40 years later, Bartoletti’s vision has been embraced by a group of young London-based designers, Unit +. In September 2012, five members of Unit + journeyed to Riserva Privata San Settimio, the very site that Bartoletti first cultivated for Progetto Arcevia, and which is still owned by his family today. Using experiential and live mapping techniques across a range of different media (conceptual documentaries, sketches, models and a fairy tale inspired comic book), Unit + explored, documented and analysed their impressions of the site.
Through their dynamic engagement with all aspects of the Riserva, they experimented with colour-coded navigation systems, a proposal for a ‘floating’ meditation room and a towering sundial. Through the support and enthusiasm of Bartoletti’s family and the Riserva, Unit + will return in Spring 2013 to initiate these projects.
Crucial to Progetto Arcevia 2.0/12 is the fact that the fundamental ideals remain the same; Unit + are committed to operating as “a thought factory and creativity lab”, a team that values collaboration and cooperation. Their work at the Riserva in 2013 represents not only a continuation of one man’s vision, but the revitalisation of concepts that are intrinsic to collaborative design.
The olive tree has not only an existential meaning for the Palestinians, but it is part of the family as well. The fields are inherited from generation to generation. During the olive harvest in autumn, the whole family comes together and collects the valuable livelihood.
During the 41 years of occupation, the Israeli occupation forces uprooted hundreds of thousands of olive trees. The most beautiful were taken and planted in Israeli settlements - e.g. in Maale Adumim.
The more I learn about myself, the more I fear myself. I’m told I should remain neutral. A Switzerland of the mind.

Oh how I loved this book! Tina is assigned to keep a diary for her Existenstialism class at a Southern California high school - and she bares all. Wry commentary on her life as a teen girl (crushes and all), and some cultural idiosynracies experienced as a young East Indian female living in America. I would love to buy a copy of this book, just to color the gorgeous illustrations!
The phrase “existential threat” is often bandied about in the media in discussing the status of Israel and that Middle East. What exactly does that mean? It means simply that your life and that of your country could end at any time— depending on the actions of another party; Iran.
Threats against Israel abound. Just recently, Sheikh Ahmad Bahr, deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, delivered a televised sermon that called for the annihilation of every Jewish person and all those who support them. He said, “Oh, Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters…the Americans and their supporters. Oh, Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one.”
Bahr did not just single out Israel, but the United States as well. He is not the first, and he won’t be the last to threaten the Jewish state. The leaders of Iran, and especially President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have for years been calling for the obliteration of Israel—the utter annihilation of the Jewish people.
I still remember the days of Civil Defense drills from when I was in elementary school. We were marched out into the hallways and made to sit along the walls. Or sometimes we had to crawl under our desks and cover our heads with our arms. This was done because a Russian leader, Nikita Khrushchev, had made threats against the United States and people feared a nuclear war.
It is hard for the U.S. public to wrap their minds around the very real possibility that we could, once again, be the target of a madman bent on our destruction.
It seems that the rhetoric has been ramped up in past weeks. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, called Zionism “a danger for all humanity.” Ahmadinejad bombastically shouted that Israel’s very existence was an “insult to all humanity.” Shortly thereafter, he regaled a group of Muslim leaders with this challenge: “Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime.”
Like the long ago drills of the 1950s, many have forgotten the desperate days of World War II— ghettos, concentration camps, ovens, and mass graves whose maws swallowed up tens of thousands of the innocent. The Jewish people have not forgotten! The roll call of the dead includes mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, and children who perished—a total of six million. This is something the Israelis will never forget—ever!
There are few, if any, who envy Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the horrendously difficult choice of whether or not to preemptively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. Calls for diplomacy, negotiations, and sanctions go out daily, and still Iran resists all efforts and entreaties to halt its work. Instead it has accelerated its endeavors.
It seems probable that were Iran to attack Israel, the United States would take up the gauntlet. The results in Iran would be calamitous. But it was the leader of the Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini who said, “I say let Iran go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.” Ahmadinejad was also a student of Khomeini and shares his views and value system.
With the fanatical Muslim mindset of jihad and all that portends for the terrorist martyrs who have little regard for human life, many would volunteer to march forward into paradise for the sake of the destruction of the Zionist regime. An apocalyptic event such as a retaliatory war following a strike on Israel would be just what Ahmadinejad craves, and what he believes will ensure the return of the “twelfth imam” who will institute Islamic sharia rule over the entire world.

I reply, Nobody ever dreamed of denying that what is general is of the nature of a general sign; but the question is whether future events will conform to it or not. If they will, your adjective ‘mere’ seems to be ill-placed. A rule to which future events have a tendency to conform is ipso facto an important thing, an important element in the happenings of those events. This mode of being which consists, mind my word if you please, the mode of being which consists in the fact that future facts of Secondness will take on a determinate general character, I call a Thirdness.

feeling more existentially challenged than usual today. this is a small portion of the last section of Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights triptych. well not the original painting - i inherited a faded print from my grandfather (bought in the 70s from athena). i was fascinated by it as a small child and used to spend ages looking at it trying to take it all in but there is so much going on each time i look at it i see something unfamiliar.

A question I'm asking myself everyday : What Kangol will I wear today ?!
Sometimes I can spend lot of time to make my choice...an existential question don't you think ?! haha !!
Une question que je me pose tous les jours : Quel Kangol vais-je mettre aujourd'hui ?!
Il m'arrive de passer pas mal de temps pour faire mon choix...une question existentielle n'est-ce pas ?! haha !!

"There is no specific force, there is instead existential energy, which is an incarnation of the spirit concept. Basically the essence of life, the thing that motivates development, makes things grow and causes things to change...The ability of an individual to pursue their purpose with an amplified understanding and sensitivity. Existential Energy."
