I've been thinking about the Ancestor Cell again (she says, as if she doesn't think about it 24/7) and god, I wish I was still in communication with my philosophy lecturers so I could sit them down and force them to read it, because I know my philosophical readings of who Fitz/Kreiner are now would be painfully amateurish but it gosh darn needs to be done.

#random #books #pretty much the whole of phil106 i took was how we perceive the world and what the world is #what is it to live a good life - what is good #it was a lot of Kierkegaard Nietzsche de Beauvoir Buber Merleau-Ponty and a few others who escape me #but what makes Fitz Fitz if he isn't fitz but didn't know it #is he fitz if he never met his mum #i know it's explored a little in Earthworld and that's good but MORE #i mentioned the muscle memory Merleau-Ponty thing - how the body and mind are inextricably linked in opposition to ontological dualism of #descarte - but was Fitz's mind remembered in a different way to his body? does you interact differently if you haven't learnt the conducts #from birth to your current age. is your mind throughout the body if it's not remembered to be so?#and what about kreiner? his body and mind have been so twisted is he still fitz? (i mean he never truly forgot what it meant to be Fitz #kreiner the OP wept) but argh. like i said my philosophy knowledge is amateurish. I'm a classicist dammit kirk - not a philosopher #fitz #And then oh what a reading of Plato's symposium if humans were originally created with four arms four legs and two heads then split by Zeus #because they were too powerful. destined to be always looking for their other half. what if you looked at Fitz/kreiner that way and they #were halves destined to me #oh boy now I'm also thinking about Grantaire who lived the other half of a destiny that was not his own #because that's sure what you're doing here fitz - that's not your life and destiny. it was stolen from and for you by the doctor
