    What philosophy do you like. And why? Do you practice it? Are you a disciple of the philosophy? Or do you like it in theory and really just go about doing things your own way?

    Philosophers discuss the world. The point, however, is to change it.

    Moreover, philosophy is a footling activity, concerned essentially with trying, without training, to understand language.

    I have my own morals and ethics that I have developed over the course of my life. So my interest in philosophy is learning where my morals and ethics fall on the tree of philosophy. Normative ethics is of interest to me as it is the study of how our views of morality and ethics shape our sense of right and wrong. It has fascinated me how two different people can look at the same thing and have very different views... where both views can be sound... but hotly contested because differing views of morality or the lack thereof.

    I like Individualism, based on individual sovereignty and the Golden Rule, respecting other individuals as I would be respected.
