I remember too well the abstract, and ultimately trivial (as I saw it), debates that took place when I was pursuing my education in philosophy.

I am still very grateful for my "philosophical training"—because it taught me how to think, how to question, to take the use and structure of words seriously...

...but now I try to apply that knowledge to the living of life itself: human experience. Which, honestly, I find no less challenging than the deep, twisting, metaphysical lectures I have endured. I'm glad to have found another 'practical philosopher' on STEEM. I'll be looking forward to following your work.
