Hey Anyone!
I thought I'd resuscitate this old dead blog. Basically, the new title is a reference from a Calvin and Hobbes comic, which I have a part of as the background. What does it mean? In short, it means a middle-class oaf. I thought it was fitting for me...and the sort of stuff likely to exude itself on this blog. It's funny, cause Bill Watterson uses the word Bourgeois in the same way that Karl Marx did in his "Communist Manifesto." I might add that Watterson employs the word with infinitely more poise and grace, as well. Thing is, different philosophers like to generalize their ideas to fit with the "vulgar masses" of people that make up the world, and middle or bourgeois class always are that majority. It's an extremely interesting subject, and one which I'm currently intrigued (I won't say obsessed) by, and the only one which I have been thoroughly enjoying this year in my Literature course. So, it may pass, but while it's here, I want to yammer on about it.
btw, bourgeois is pronounced Borze-wass-C, interestingly enough.
