Hi Al

Reading Aristotle opened my eyes about how intelligent ancient men were which then created not only a new interest but a different understanding of what man is and intellectively. My philosophy prof also enjoyed our in class discussions and distractions as I was the only one in class that invested a lot of time actually studying the course material. It was quite funny how our relationship grew as the previous semester which was my first he told me it wasn't to late to get my money back and the second semester told me that he always saved my weekly essay till last to keep him motivated to read the other students papers.

I think we could share some good discussions and do think you have had an interesting life.

Further proof you should have been an academic, buddy.  You never told me you did any time in college.  In any case, I can only agree with you about the ancient Greeks.  Those are some big shoes to fill.  What surprised me was finding out the sort of work that Philosophy professors do these days.  Modern Philosophers have contributed meaningfully to the development of our understanding of consciousness via neuroscience, amongst other things...

Hi Al

Thanks for the kind words and yes philosophy is involved in many aspects of current social development, some companies hire the for ethics as well.

I only went to univercity for 3 semesters to study philosophy because I was digging in for a long fight with the government and wanted to use what I had learned to help organize mmy thoughts and research materiial that I could ue in supporting my position. It worked out over a 20 year fight so think it was worth the time and effort..
