Philosophical labours

I am feeling the aftershocks of my first work-through-the-night of this year. Sitting at my desk, at four this morning, puzzling over the nature of aesthetic judgements, I remembered how right Adorno was when he described proper thinking as "the strenuous toil of conceptual reflection." (Quoting Hegel's Phenomenology)
