Seeking the Philosophical Life
My idea of 'Exchanging the Word' was born of conversations and interactions with strangers. Over a period of time I came to see that these meetings were more important than at first they seemed -- chance meetings that brought about a sense of clarity and enlightenment gradually became less believable as a coincidence. I came to understand these meetings a something so important that I went out of my way to bring them about, to see when they did or did not produce anything, to work out who benefited, and to analyse how it worked. My entries here are a record of my thoughts as I have worked through this process from its early beginnings to what I now consider the most important philosophical position that we can hold in our lives as practical philosophers -- a position that brings us close to others in a way which increases clarity and offers the potential for increased wisdom for all involved.
I have now come to see Exchanging the Word as only one aspect of Practical Metaphysics.
