What's What: Philosophical Writings
By Bill Meacham
I got my college and university degrees in philosophy, and then left that field to make my living as a programmer, software designer, project manager and requirements analyst. But I never quit thinking about the nature of reality and my place in it, the nature of human beings and how it makes sense to live our lives. I'm trying to write it all down in a way that is accessible to an interested person who is not trained in philosophy but also rigorous enough that professional philosophers will find merit in it, or at least something worth arguing with.
I'd like to hear your ideas and comments. Please email me at .
