(I was going to use the word infect, but am probably thinking about your own location; not to mention, corrupt does carry aspects of contagion.)<BR/><BR/>Even in the most quotidian of spaces, humoral theory obtains. I hear my mother's voice worrying that bad friends will "spoil" me. Humans have "leaky bodies," it seems, or porous bodies more like, prone to all kinds of influences, against reason.<BR/><BR/>One then wonders, to push an abstract thought further, if Descarte's isolation (I sit in a room in a bathrobe) enabled the cogito only insofar as he could escape a humoral environment, ostensibly. But now I'm speculating, and quite irrationally at that. <BR/><BR/>I do enjoy your blog a lot!Kegurohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15758539918367404853[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1137623253347972932006-01-18T23:27:00.000+01:002006-01-18T23:27:00.000+01:00Thank you for that link...yet more proof that there is good reason to love wikipediaReluctant Nomadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16093595869651355616[email protected]
