Beginner getting into Philososphy Philosophy deals in concepts, rational thought, the bizarre creativity of the human mind and of course the various schools of a particular philosophic bent. The subject matter is open to anything and everything within the gambit of human existence. One can pull threads of thought from any avenue and any whimsy from the Existence of God right on down causality of time and place. The direction of "knowing" starts with ones own life experiences and choices.
