Norwegian police find Munch's "The Scream"
33 minutes ago
OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian police recovered "The Scream" and another stolen masterpiece by Edvard Munch on Thursday, two years after the works were seized from a museum by gunmen.
"We are 100 percent certain they are the originals," police chief Iver Stensrud told a news conference. "The damage was much less than feared."
"The Scream" depicts a terrified figure under a blood-red sky. The other, "Madonna," shows a bare-breasted woman with long black hair.
It's something I've seen in Nietzsche's writing and Kant on his "categorical imperatives". It sounded like you knew something about it.

It reminds me of the way people talk in CA.
Yeah, the definition given is not precise. One significant difference: while the classical liberal would say that you DO have property in your own body, the existentialist would say that you have property in your own body only if you say you do, and even then there is no guarantee that you have ownership of yourself in somebody else's personal world.
...i.e. there is no objective reason for another person to recognize your belief that you have property in yourself.
I'm deeper than I thought!
That's what Aftenposten said today - it's not as though the thieves could have thought they'd be able to sell these anywhere.
His alternative title was "Portrait of a Liberal at His Happiest"
Imagine a world without existentialism.
I'm not really into art and have never much liked "The Scream", but I like that Madonna print. Glad they were recovered.
From your link:
"start using your "self-determination" to direct where you want to be"
That isn't nearly as circular as 'becoming who you are,' which sounds like a pickup line from the late sixties.
I'm reminded of Murray Roman's 'Be There' from his comedy album 'You can't beat people up and have them say I Love You.'
Be there. [echo] Be there. [echo]
Of course you will be there. Where can you be but where you can be? For to be is.... are you with anybody?
That's HYSTERICAL!!!
the way people talk in CA=except Fresno. Or Freepers. And probably most of San Diego and Orange counties.
OK, the way they talk at Berkeley. Dammit.
fascinating. thanks for posting that.
Or,
"You can pick your friends.
And you can pick your nose.
But you can't pick your friend's nose."

Got that. Just one minor correction.... Red Skelton was Clem Kadiddlehopper, not Clyde. Now Clyde...
Clyde played electric bass; played it with finesse and Grace. -- Waylon Jennings
As for Grace, she was buried in the ground of being.
Interesting.
Heh heh. If the tort fits, Xena. If the tort fits.
I. Did. Not. Know. That.
(always suspected he'd had too much ... Java)
