Here is one about more general philosophy:

Thank you so much for the recommendation, I've been trying to understand Kierkegaard for almost a year... I see he also does Dostoevsky (my favorite) and Nietzsche, most excellent!

While speaking about Aristoteles do you know some books or some texts that is more directly after Aristoteles than this one ? I believed that this was the closest.

You know they just found a new text of his? (well it wasn't that recent, but) And it's special too! See, it's not lecture notes like all his other books, it was actually written for popular consumption, it's about the role of philosophy and stuff, not sure where you'd get it, one of my profs gave me a handout. If I can't find it online I'd be willing to scan and email it to you if you really want.

No ones going to play the harp when you die
And if I had a nickel for every damn dime
Id have half the time, do you mind?
Everyone's afraid of their own lives
If you could be anything you want
I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?
Am I right? And its our lives
It's hard to remember, its hard to remember
We're alive for the first time
It's hard to remember were alive for the last time
It's hard to remember, its hard to remember
To live before you die
It's hard to remember, its hard to remember
That our lives are such a short time
It's hard to remember, its hard to remember
When it takes such a long time

These are some nice lyrics here..

Philosophy is important when it affects people, ordinary people. The best philosopher is the one who can bring his/her concepts to a level which all people understand.
