I start with philosophy



Category: Ramblings | Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2007 6:53 pm

I found a new favorite philosopher last week. His name is Bertrand Russel, and he is Welsh. Or, rather, was. He died in 1970, 98 years old.

I first stumbled upon some quotes, which picqued my curiosity, so I started searching for more material. My, what a character this man must have been, and what noise he must have made in his time!

I almost feel sorry not to have noticed him before, when my brain was working better. Ah, well, no use crying etc.

I have only recently heard of him also Droopy through an analogy of his I enjoyed. I'm off to have a peek at his Wikipedia page.

Update: it's a VERY long page :)

My youngest son recognised the name as soon as I said it Droopy. He's into philosophy in a BIG way. I must admit the name was familiar to me but I knew very little about him so I'm off to read that Wikipedia page too.

I've read that Wikipedia page, but I'll need to read it again. Lots of information in there. I'll try and see if some of his books are available too.
