I love the humanities. I studied both English and Philosophy in college. There are some thinkers and theories that make an impression on you and you have to share those theories. These ideas will be with you forever. I appreciate the dialectic theory, the constant development between two premises. I think it's the essential component to new development every day. I really like Existentialism as well. What type of Philosophy do you like? Thank you for reading. View more posts
