Quote of the Day: finding the conditions for creative production

...the aim of philosophy is not to rediscover the eternal or the universal, but to find the singular conditions under which something new is produced. In other words—and this is a pragmatic perspective from which Deleuze never deviated—philosophy aims not at stating the conditions of knowledge qua representation, but at finding and fostering the conditions of creative production.

Long time ago, when I was new to this country a person at an after-shabbat social gathering gave me a peculiar advice: When in doubt, read the Book of Psalms until you find either your question or your answer. Maybe both.

Here you go:

Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

--- Psalms 2:1.
