I was thinking about studying physics and philosophy, because I honestly like it, I still do, astronomy and astrophysics – and sometimes I think I should have done that instead of philosophy
Summary
I think, in critical theory, and you can give me your view on this, it’s implicit that you might direct social change one way or the other. The question is: “What is the driving motor of this process?”, and I believe our conception of autonomy is itself a driving motor in this logic, that’s why I think of a different conception of the good life, and that’s how I arrived at the resonance solution, so to speak.
