Introduction

I have a love of philosophy; plus, I met John and he recommended it!

How did you become interested in philosophy?

Via religion and comparative religion when I was younger. Also, studying aesthetics as an art major in college.

What topics interest you the most?

Aesthetics and philosophy of art, and anything that involves history and explanations of human society (as opposed to introspective stuff, I guess.)

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

I'm finishing a book called The Secret Peace, which posits that society is getting better. Perpetual Peace! So, I'm an optimist. I have faith in human nature, and lots of research to back it up. Nihilism, existentialism, relativism - not so much.
