Some musings

What is the difference between "memoirs" and "autobiography"? Is it just linguistic or is there a different purpose and sentiment behind the action itself?

What is the difference between living life with the motto of "carpe diem" versus the idea of living one's life in the face of the "doctrine of the eternal return"? There are more than just linguistic differences between these two philosophies. They each imply a mode of history, that is for certain, yet the aims and ideas of each are so utterly unique. It would be fascinating and perhaps fun to tease out these differences.

I really like what I have been reading of Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe.
