Introduction

Debating philosophical ideas over a glass of wine sounds like my kind of fun! Don't have a degree in philosophy, but have done a lot of reading and taken some courses in it. Among my favorites: Martin Buber, Emmanuel Levinas, Jurgen Habermas. Loo

How did you become interested in philosophy?

Have had a deep need to search for meaning ever since I can remember. Philosophy is one of the modalities of that search.

What topics interest you the most?

Ethics, metaphysics, eastern philosophy, continental philosophy, phemonology

Can you summarize your philosophical outlook in 50 words or less?

If there is an ultimate Truth or Reality, I do not believe it is humanly possible to know it completely. Therefore we each make our own reality & are fearful of the reality of the Other. Life's challenge is to overcome that fear and love the Other.
