I start with philosophy

Category: Ramblings | Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2007 6:53 pm

I found a new favorite philosopher last week. His name is Bertrand Russel, and he is Welsh. Or, rather, was. He died in 1970, 98 years old.

I first stumbled upon some quotes, which picqued my curiosity, so I started searching for more material. My, what a character this man must have been, and what noise he must have made in his time!

I almost feel sorry not to have noticed him before, when my brain was working better. Ah, well, no use crying etc.

I have only recently heard of him also Droopy through an analogy of his I enjoyed. I'm off to have a peek at his Wikipedia page.

Update: it's a VERY long page :)

My youngest son recognised the name as soon as I said it Droopy. He's into philosophy in a BIG way. I must admit the name was familiar to me but I knew very little about him so I'm off to read that Wikipedia page too.
