Fill loss of fee


Image result for Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen




The reason I didn't raise philosophy the first two times we gazed at that first magazine is possibly a deep rooted fear of overdoing the philosophy since I am using various aspects of philosophy to inform my hyperlink choices and I took Philosophy as a minor, studying subjects like Practical Ethics and Critical Thinking.

This is philosophy we're talking about, not psychology so fears are verboten.

While not intrinsic to other forms in the way literature is, philosophy nonetheless appears in the spotlight in theatre, argues its purpose with poetry, remonstrates in fiction - including the time before novels. But for literary or philosophical concerns to be considered popular there would not be this supposed gap of sixty eight years before the first general interest magazine appeared; the general interest would already be there.  Now I'm further perplexed by a wiki entry that has Nouvelles de la république des lettres as the first literary journal, published in 1684. This is twenty one years after  Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen

Either someone decided that Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen was strictly philosophy-based or this speaks to the error potential of Wikipedia. Moving on.

Before we find ourselves querying whether there's a philosophy literary journal in the lunchbox of piper - 1st shift (or what use that data is other than giving us false hopes that it is not predominantly philosophers and scribes, academics and critics who read these things) it follows that philosophy churns away in the background in all the subsequent media: film, radio, television and World Wide Web. It's there in song and music generally.
The reader receives philosophy masked in the dictates of the story or essay, conveyed in lines spoken by the main character. It is there but not consumed 'raw' as it were.

On the other hand, many poets and philosophers are put to work in other pursuits as I can only too easily attest.
