Today, @Kerry Bealpicked up lunch from a Korean restaurant, The Owl of Minerva.
We shared the eggroll.
I had the pork bone soup with some rice and banchan (pickled cucumber).
Kerry enjoyed the kimchi soup.
I have never understood why a Korean restaurant is called The Owl of Minerva. Even after a little bit of digging I still don’t understand but I will share with you this from the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy:
A traditional symbol of wisdom, most famously invoked in Hegel's remark at the end of the Preface to the Philosophy of Right: ‘when philosophy paints its grey in grey, then has a shape of life grown old. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the coming of the dusk.’ Hegel means that the kinds of self-conscious reflection making up philosophy can occur only when a way of life is sufficiently mature to be already passing, but the doctrine neglects the fact that selfconsciousness and reflection co-exist with activity. For example, an active social and political movement will co-exist with reflection on the categories within which it frames its position.
uh?
