The Philosophical Writings of a lazy organic gardener Thinking Living Reading Philosophy is the oldest science. It is the study of the truths or principles underlying all knowledge and being. Several thousand years ago people investigating the world around them found the subject to be quite complex. They asked the same questions children today ask. As they learned more about specific areas these became sciences of their own, botany, astronomy, chemistry, physics, etc.
Philosophy remains as the study of, well, what s left.
The questions that have not been answered in any way that the majority of those studying them can agree upon. For me there are two reasons. First, the pleasure of thinking . Second, to try to figure out how best to live my life. I m not sure.
