Welcome to Gerald Rochelle's Practical Philosophy -- a site
concerned with the practical application of Philosophy.
Philosophy can help us all live our lives more fully. It is the best tool
for sorting out dilemmas, problems or difficulties which face us in
life. 'Being Philosophical' is an attribute which we all have, it just
needs tapping into.

Read my current thinking on Practical Philosophy in Exchanging the Word.
Philosophy is all about asking questions -- questions to which
there is currently no agreed answer. Philosophy is about argument -- putting a point of view which raises doubts or questions about
another. Philosophy is about the use of rationality. Philosophy is not
a matter of belief or faith, it is about truth. Philosophy is about opening up possibilities.
