Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2010-12-30]: The New Year's Eve is approaching, the most weird date celebrated by man. Weird because it is not a celebration of a specific historical event, of a battle, a remembrance of a birth or of a death that happened. This is a completely artificial celebration.We could be celebrating New Year on 25th of Marth or on 21st of February. This celebration is based on one thing and one thing only: the need of man to believe in the notion of "change", the need of man to believe in a "fresh start"...
So Happy New Year to everyone!
