Today was the first trial reopening of the salon after the summer break, and two new friends came by. Next week’s salon time is still undecided.
As for the positioning of ethics and philosophy: what is ethics studying? Good and evil (right and wrong)? Ends? Human relations? The manner and aim of philosophy? Conceptual analysis? Taxonomy? The mode of expression of philosophy? What is environmental ethics? Philosophy of technology, art, and ideas…
Overall, I didn’t say much; I mainly played the role of the one asking questions. The girls who were present spoke very little—perhaps they could add some comments on the blog? Anyway, I won’t record too much for now.
Next semester the salon will definitely still be open to strangers. Whether it is speaking or listening, as long as it is direct and sincere exchange, it will always have rich meaning. The specific schedule for next semester will be announced within two weeks.

Yesterday’s performance was rather unenthusiastic… sigh.
Actually I also wanted to speak, but listening to your conversation, I realized that my way of thinking is too casual and too emotional, utterly lacking in method—just some fragmentary insights… I still understand far too little… I’m ashamed…
