Ethan, broken, Juliet, Casie
Dear Cassie,
I’ve been wanting to give this to you for ages, and after the incredible gift you gave me last
night, I figured the time felt right. I found it in a little antique shop in Milano while I was
touring Europe. I don’t know why it caught my eye, but I had to buy it for you.
The thing is, it’s not perfect. It’s had a lot of owners,

In India lives a bird that is unique:
The lovely phoenix has a long, hard beak
Pierced with a hundred holes, just like a flute --
It has no mate, its reign is absolute.
Each opening has a different sound; each sound

Kant'ın Ahlak Yasasının Platon'daki Kökleri
"What would happen if everybody behaved like that?" When I do something, it is as if I were giving everyone else my permission to do the same, and I have to consider the consequences of that, not just of my individual action. The German Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), some would say the most influential philosopher of modern times, made this the basic principle of morality (though he found a rather more complicated way of stating it). We have all heard of it, we have all had it thrown at us, and here it is popping up in 400 BC.
["Herkes böyle davransaydı ne olurdu?" Bir şey yaptığımda, bu, herkese yaptığımın aynısının yapılabileceğine dair izin vermektir ve sadece kendi eylemimin değil, bunun sonuçlarını [da] değerlendirmek zorundayım. Kimilerinin modern zamanın en etkileyici filozofu olarak gördüğü, bir Alman olan Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), bunu (her ne kadar ifade etmek için daha karmaşık bir yol bulsa da) ahlaklılığın en temel ilkesi haline getirdi. İşte hepimizin hakkında duyum sahibi olduğu, hepimizin bir kez olsun kulağına çalınmış olan bu argüman MÖ 400'de pat diye çıkıverdi karşımıza.]
