Ho,ho,ho, and welcome to the premier post of The Philosophizer! Who is the philosophizer? Well, some who philosophizes, such as, but certainly not limited to, myself. Philosophy may be considered the study of fundamental issues such as the nature and function of existence, knowledge, being, ethics, language, science,and mind, to name a few.

So, for all of us who are wise (or stupid) enough to confidently hack away at the problems that go typically unspoken yet are influential in each day of every creature's life, here is your home! My wish is is to apply philosophical principles and analysis to contemporary events/people/trends, etc because after studying the subject at university for nearly 4 years, I am about done with the vicious cycle as it exists-- those who study philosophy do so in order to teach philosophy to those who study philosophy in order to teach philosophy, and you can see how it progresses from there. Consider the cycle broken as of now. The field of phil. is too big and beautiful to be eternally separated from its natural lover--reality-- so let us begin planning the reunion here. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, so may this post be the first of many.

It is my hope that this grows into an eclectic blog with very fuzzy and loose borders. I must preface though that I have a particular interest in psychology, so I may tend to approach issues from a perspective harmonious with my natural inclinations, and may you do the same.
