Welcome to ContiN0US!

Dear Readers,


As the creator of this platform and a dedicated student of Philosophy, I extend a warm welcome to you on this extraordinary journey. ContiN0US is more than a digital sanctuary—it is a transformative quest, a pilgrimage to bridge the divides between philosophical traditions.


Here, we embrace the challenge of uniting not only the Western and Eastern philosophical realms but also the Analytic and Continental traditions. Our mission is to foster dialogue, seeking connections that transcend artificial boundaries. Like intrepid explorers, we stand on the very divisions that once separated these schools of thought, using these vantage points to uncover hidden similarities and shared aspirations.


Within ContiN0US, you'll discover a digital oasis—a place where words take flight, ideas soar freely, and thoughts find continuity. Just as an airport terminal marks the beginning and both the culmination and continuance of our intellectual explorations, ContiN0US signifies the infinity of our quest for knowledge and understanding.


ContiN0US is an invitation to discover the harmony within diversity. We celebrate the richness of thought, weaving a tapestry that intertwines the threads of wisdom from around the globe. By embracing the holistic exploration of Western and Eastern philosophies, we recognize that the perceived divide often stems from different cultural lenses. Yet, through our collective exploration, we illuminate the universal truths that resonate across civilizations.


In our writings, we traverse the boundaries of time and culture, inviting you to immerse yourselves in the shared essence of human existence. We seek to transcend geographical borders, unearthing timeless insights that bind us together as one human family.


Your presence enriches this shared narrative, and together, we embark on this transformative odyssey. As we bridge gaps, unite traditions, and celebrate the harmonious convergence of philosophical thought, we invite you to contribute your voice to this ongoing dialogue.


Thank you for joining us on this exhilarating expedition. Let the boundless exploration of knowledge and the pursuit of philosophical unity begin!


With warmest regards,


Mr. FranK Parawan

                       Reaction papers are uncanny things for they are essays, alright, but they have an excuse for their being; that is, one’s reaction on paper! And, for the love of connections or relations, reactions not spontaneous enough would be artificial or, in a more rustic term, ‘plastic’. Its truth lies in its spontaneity, like responding a glib “ Yes ” to your girlfriend’s query about her beauty. (A 2-second pause would make you her ex-boyfriend.) In like manner, a thoroughly planned Reaction Paper is (almost) an oxymoron like a manufactured antique made (in) you know where.  Nostalgia. The earliest account I know when it comes to the defining of the word ‘simple’, is that of Euclid whose geometry is still being studied today. (To Russell's disgust.) Euclid has defined a point as that which has no parts, and that which has no parts is what being simple is. Fast forward to the 19th century, the Brit...

The Clockmaker’s Silence

-
  If you listen closely, even now, you might hear it: the faint hum beneath your own days, the shimmer at the edge of a shadow, the patient gaze of a cat. For time is not elsewhere. It is the horizon of our being, the fabric of our lives. And each of us is both thread and weaver. The Clockmaker’s Silence There was a town where time slipped through the streets unnoticed, like a stray cat no one bothered to chase. The baker worked when the air grew cool. Children came home when their laughter lost its brightness. The church bell rang, though only when the bell-ringer remembered he was supposed to ring it. No one measured the hours, and no one felt the lack of them. To live was simply to drift along, as if eternity were already theirs. Yet on a crooked little street, where lanterns flickered even when there was no wind and cats gathered as though waiting for secrets, stood a clock shop. The shop smelled faintly of oil and persimmons, though no one could say why. Inside, clocks lined t...
