A different drum | The 3-day weekend

By Tom Devine | Published: 09/08/2009

Philosophers like to think in threes.

Plato had his three parts of the soul—the appetitive, the spirited, and the rational; Kant had his three critiques—pure reason, practical reason, and judgment; and Hegel had his triad—thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. When it comes to considering the weekend, it doesn’t take an Übermensch to sense what’s true: the ideal weekend is also a trio—Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

How was your weekend? Let us know in the comments.

A Different Drum is an ongoing series that is inspired by Tom’s playlist.
