Thought Itself

The History of Philosophy, Logic & The Mind with Eric Gerlach

Author

Gerlach is German and rhymes with bear-lock. I was born and raised in the Haight Ashbury of San Francisco, moved to Berkeley for college and grad school, with an MA in History of Religion from the Graduate Theological Union of Berkeley, and now teach Philosophy and the history of human thought at Berkeley City College. I have taught Intro Philosophy, Ethics, Logic, Asian Philosophy, Greek Philosophy, Modern European Philosophy and Social & Political Philosophy there for the past several years, and it has been a joy.

Naked Justice in Berkeley

naked activist“‘Your sex life is a joke because you never liberated yourself from body shame,’ Taub shouted.  After making an expletive-laden speech on a wooden table for several minutes, Taub stepped onto the city manager’s desk and hopped over to the dais where she squatted down and banged the gavel repeatedly.”  After her speech, Taub returned to her seat as one audience member observed: “Holy shit, they didn’t arrest you.”

A Short Play on Words

Wittgenstein

What is the correct German translation of an English play on words?  

Maybe a completely different play on words.

Was ist die korrekte Übersetzung eines englischen Wortspiels in’s Deutsche?  

Vielleicht ein ganz anderes Wortspiel.
