Some would suggest that philosophy is a dying art. Perhaps this is because
a study of philosophy usually centers on the lives of a bunch of dead guys. While this may be true of a study of the history
of philosophy, I believe that philosophy is very much alive and well today. It shows up in every discipline of study, none
less than those of theology or religion.
George Klubertanz wrote, "There are
many ways of considering reality. Every grown person has an outlook on life. . . . Philosophers explicitly state and develop
their philosophical view of reality--and come to differing conclusions." He continues by making the point that some philosophies
are wrong; however "most often it is a question of how adequate a philosophy is to express the totality of the real"
(Being and God, 21). In other words, even "wrong" philosophies often are able to express a part of reality
accurately. This is what I hope to achieve in my study of philosophy--not a systematic explanation of the totality of reality,
but a perspective that is as accurate as possible--one that satisfies my own curiosity and inspires others to think.
I've included a bit of the research and writing that I've done in this field for your perusal.
I'll also be adding things on occasion so check in from time to time. Let me know what you think.
