I started a blog in Armenian. I would love to know if it makes any sense!

Likewise, it seems to me that you have chosen to be and all that matters is that you are "asserting" yourself; details that may not "make sense" should not matter!

Re: Armenian blog
You're welcome. Yes, it is. Though, quite inspired by Kirkegaard and Nietzsche, I would not consider myself an "existentialist" i.e. an "adept" of Heidegger/Sartre/...Originally posted by womble View Post
By the way, talking about existentialism, I don't know how to translate the distinction, in French, between "l'être" - usually, translated as "the being" - that means the being and "l'étant" - that I don't know how to translate - that means something like "l'être" at a certain moment, in a certain situation. "L'être" is essential while "l'étant" more the "becoming" or a "snapshot" of "l'être?"
Would you know? Thanks!Last edited by Siamanto; 09-26-2007, 10:06 AM.What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.Comment

Re: Armenian blog
Sorry, but, Shakespeare was all over that "l'etre, l'etre pas" stuff way before Nietzche and Kirkegaard. Nice try, Camus.Between childhood, boyhood,
adolescence
& manhood (maturity) there
should be sharp lines drawn w/
Tests, deaths, feats, rites
stories, songs & judgements

Thanks!
Camus.
P.S. For the record: it's "être ou ne pas être?"Last edited by Siamanto; 09-26-2007, 01:32 PM.What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.Comment

I don't believe there is a straightforward way to describe that distinction in English. The best I can think of is the 'act of being' or 'act of existing', but that doesn't really capture it. SorryOriginally posted by Siamanto View Post
