Introduction to Philosophy

Philosophy is not about arguments, debates, or the caricature of cranky professors - not by a long shot! Philosophy is the key to unlocking the shackles that smother your curiosity, your wonderment, and your real sense of self. Philosophy is not just a subject you learn. Instead, it's a lifestyle of insatiable curiosity that will, if you let it, alter your way of being in the world.
