New to Philosophy Now

[Hobbes' Choice]

Hi All,
Greetings Philosophers,
Recent subscriber to Philosophy Now, very much enjoying the magazine, esp the fact that the articles seem to be written by lecturers and students around the world. I am completing a Master's degree in Philosophy because i value all considerations of this reality, and try to remain as objective as possible. This year I have focused on the philosophy of space and time under Prof Peter Forrest at UNE, but am currently messing around with some continental philosophy. Not a big fan of God, but I am a fan of people who believe in God, or for that matter people who believe in anything absolutely, because that is the opposite to how i operate, i dont think i have ever made my mind up on anything, each moment brings a new idea and experience to be considered, so i find it very difficult to bring anything that seemed certain before into that new moment.

On a different note my sister, a fashion designer, recently posted this commment on her facebook page, i believe to have a go at my love of philosophy. “The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.” - Aart Van Der Leeuw. Its annoying the hell out of me and would appreicate a defence?

Kind Regards,

Jack
