Philosophia

"...seeing the 'peal of thunder' from an event that lies thousands of years back in time..." I am continually facinated by the scope of the human mind. I started my own personal studies in personality types and developmental models spring of my freshman year, and have since presented at State and National Honors Conferences on both the Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram. For my psychology requirements, I will now have to take actual courses on this stuff... as if I need the credit =þ.

Because having once been hurled into the world, he is responcible for everything he does." -Sartre This past semester has seen me back into philosophy, starting with Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. I have started amassing books since then with a bent towards existentialism, but to round things off, I could not leave out Plato, Kant, Hegel, etc. I think that over time, I would truly like to start philosophizing myself, maybe turn it into a webpage :). Philosophy in Cyberspace Philosophy by Topic "In the whole wide range of that eminemtly challenging science, the history of ideas, there is no subject more enduringly provocative than mysticism." -E. O'Brien I have also taken a foray into mysticism and world religions. It is amazing to see the different mythos of cultures come to life and just how, despite the various differences, the underlying structures remain the same.  Mysticism in World Religions  Who's Who in the History of Mysticism Here is a list of some suggested reading.
