Im a philosphy major and we always get crap, so Ill have you know that philosophy is a pretty challenging major at my school...Its considered the "hard" humanities major, unlike history, politics, etc. I love it because being booksmart doesnt really help at all. you actually have to have to think logically and not just memorize bs.

Hahahaha ok back to writing my philosphy paper. damn you GLB!


Ok I'll just sit back with my Engineering Bachelors Degree and Engineering Masters Degree while you are trying to sell me Life Insurance


That shows alot of class. Having both of those degree's means you will be more successful then Mmuhr am I right? Although with your statement it just proves you don't actually have the degree, people who do would say with pride I might add; Bachelors of Science in Engineering typically it is a technical school of some sort that says Bachelor in Engineering. Yeah those 2 degrees are good to have but do not mean he will be selling you life Insurance. Do you realize that Philosophy is actually very well respected in the world of science as a matter of fact most Physicists are philosophers of some sort. So being a person from a Science background as you state to be, should be happy that there is someone pursuing Philosophy because without it Science ceases to exist.


Thankyou! People hate on philosophy so much. I call them ignorant. I make fun of most of my friends when I remind them that their subject is based on philosophy, and without the ideas of the people I study, their subject might not even exist.

LMAO If you want me to be technical, my degrees are Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Biological Engineering from Purdue University and a Master of Science in Engineering Management from Eastern Michigan University. But I could really care less about your ideas on the importance of philosophy or your thoughts on my lack of class. I am having a go around with mmuhr here, and your opinion is inconsequential.


swimma actually had one of the more intelligent points so far in the forum this year, well except for the attacking of the major. A lot of ad hominem, petitio principi, and ad nauseam arguments (I don't know if I spelled those right, mmuhr?). I'm not saying that I didn't join in from time to time, but internet forums get boring when this starts happening. Bad form, especially from a philosophy major.

Lmao.... wasn't trying to get into a pissing contest his statement just hit a nerve because I respect people who choose to pursue philosophy, it is so far off of the beaten path and as Mmuhr says requires more then just memorizing. I'm done with this post...... for now.

Hmmm....hard question.
Favorite feild of philosophy, maybe epistemology? Or political philosophy.
Favorite political philosopher, Hobbes. I dont actually agree with him I just think hes a great writer and thinker and the way he constructs and presents his argument is clear and logical.

Last semester I wrote a paper on Marcus Aurelius' Meditations and this semester I'll be doing a paper on the Golden Sayings of Epictetus. I guess you should know by now I'm big on Stoicism.

Hmm I'v never really read or studied any ancient philosophers besides plato and aristotle. I have yet to take Ancient philosophy, something I have to take and am kinda dreading, Plato drives me crazy.
