another installment of the philosophy chronicle

First, this item from the other melancholy Dane: on the difference between clinical depression and spiritual despair. Kierkegaard on the Couch.

Second: for Catholics, the month of November -- when the days grow short and the entire landscape seems to wither and fade -- is a time to consider the last things including our own mortality. In keeping with this program, I offer Happy Ending, on why death is necessary for happiness.
