Hello

Post by Angell »

Hi people from the forum! I'm also new here, so please be gentle:) My name is Rick, I'm 18 and I in a quitle little town in the UK. I've recently stumbled upon some old books that belonged to my grandfather (after cleaning up the attic), and most of them have a philosphy theme. As I turned some pages in the books, I became interested in this theme, but the books have kind of a 'heavy load', and are not for the beginners' eyes, I presume. That's why I went looking around on the internet, and fortunately found this platform. Looking forward to getting to know you people and learning a lot!

Gentle? Yeah right... your first mistake is misspelling your forum name!

You could be playful with the "heavy load" and just open a book at random and see if you can grasp anything at all and if it inspires you in any way.

A law professor mentioned once that that is what he did with a volume of Hegel. He opened the book, read two sentences, understood, and quickly closed the book again to avoid the risk of getting frustrated.

Having Eureka every so now and then. I got philosophy in my blood, injected with a needle of liquefied remains from a selection of philosophy works and texts.
