Philosophy blog adjunct to The Tetrast: small delights and nice insights with fourfolds - tetrachotomies and tetrads. Some, not all. Aristotle's Four Causes. C. S. Peirce for his extensive triads & trichotomies.
I call this the Speculation Lounge in order to encourage myself not to hold off on a post or an edit.
Associated blogs:
The Tetrast
The Tetrast3 - Bits.
What of these other fours?
I call myself “the Tetrast” partly in fun at my inclination to make philosophy on a theme that may seem threadbare, that of a fourfold pattern in some (not all) basic things.
I disbelieve in numerology and it bores me. No synchronicity, paranormalism, etc., here.
About Me

I’m Ben UdeIΙ. Quadruplicity drinks procrastination, quoth Bertrand Russell making sense, and the best proof am I. Lifelong layabout layman. EMAIL: baudell@ΑntіѕраΜgmail.com . Delete the “ΑntіѕраΜ” from my email address; it’s there in order to avoid spam. Also, I post at peirce-l and currently am co-manager there and co-manager & webmaster at Arisbe: The Peirce Gateway. I'm not Tetrast in Greece or on Twitter or art websites.
