 I post the Statement without comment. I do note the reporting that:"A spokesperson for Columbia Law School told Fox News Digital that the exam schedule would proceed forward."Law School exams resumed on Thursday, May 2, after a one-day suspension, and will be administered through the conclusion of the exam period," the statement reads." (here).

It was in Kant, to call to mind only what is generally known, that modern speculative thought, feeling itself mature and come of age, became tired of the guardianship in which it had lived hereto under dogmatism and, like the prodigal son, went to its father and demanded that he divide and share the inheritance with it. The outcome of this division of the inheritance is well known, and also that speculation did not have to go abroad in order to squander its resources, because there was no wealth to be found. The more the I in criticism became absorbed in contemplation of the I, the leaner and leaner the I became, until it ended with becoming a ghost, immortal like Aurora's husband. . . . Because reflection was continually reflecting about reflection, thinking went astray, and every step it advanced led further and further, of course, from any content.  (Soren Kierkegaard, The Concept of Irony (Howard Hong and Edna Hong, trans; Princeton University Press, 1989 (1841)), p. 272.
