Conversations between a self-professed narcissist and a baby-faced coffee-addict at ungodly hours.

A series of short articles on philosophy topics, with a focus on how philosophy can inform everyday life. Each article is just ten paragraphs, and can be read in a few minutes. Over time, these articles will cover many topics, like the nature of happiness, how work relates to humanity, what knowledge is, and many other topics. All articles are easy to understand, and reference directly classic philosophers and their theories. The aim is to show how classic philosophy can be useful in understanding the problems of everyday life. All posts are also available at http://daily-philosophy.com

If you are intelligent and reasonable, you cannot be the product of a mechanical and meaningless universe. The Universe itself, the energy which underlies it, the ground of being, must be intelligent. <3 Alan Watts If

One of my favorite Philosophers .Alan Watts

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. In more casual speech, by extension, "philosophy" can refer to "the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group". The word "philosophy" comes from the Ancient Greek (philosophia), which literally means "love of wisdom".The introduction of the terms "philosopher" and "philosophy" has been ascribed to the Greek thinker Pythagoras. A "philosopher" was understood as a word which contrasted with "sophist". Traveling sophists or "wise men" were important in Classical Greece, often earning money as teachers, whereas philosophers are "lovers of wisdom" and were therefore not in it primarily for the money. In my English class we were told we had to make our own Philosophy. I, being young and inexperienced in life, found the subject very difficult. I thank wikipedia.org for this definition as I could not describe it better myself. This is the "published" version of the essay/small book I have written in my English class. I hope you enjoy. This story is dedicated to my family for loving me, and my friends for putting up with me. I love you all. Thank you.

I don't own any of the quotes.

The Universe Revealed is my attempt to discuss more thoroughly the main questions that we humans should ask about our existence, our universe and our place in it. These are mostly my thoughts on science, religion and philosophy as it applies to the human condition. My first book, The Theory of Nothing, covered many subjects. This book will be more specific to the big questions about life and what it means.
