Ocean of reason
laps gently against the bay;
castles in wet sand.
I made a post about how I visualise #philosophy, based on the wonderful blog post by @deontologistics. Unlike him I suck at visual imagery though, so the above haiku is the best you'll get! http://sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2017/12/visualising-philosophy.html …

Also a very nice haiku!

There's a lot to read into it about the theoretical systems philosophers construct--reminds me of the metaphors Peirce and Popper employed--Peirce speaking of constructing on a swamp and Popper speaking of theories being pylons driven down into the sand.

Trying to find references--may have been Peirce speaking of walking through a swamp covered in fog, not knowing where one goes, trying the ground; Popper employs a similar metaphor of hiking up a mountain range covered in mist, not knowing where is the highest peak.
