"The goal of the Philosophy Forum is to build a supportive community of users around the world that will strengthen and enrich it's members ... through open communication, debate, and discussion in the topics of Philosophy and general other discussion."

This mission statement explains what the forum is all about; it is a place where intellectual and courteous discourse about both philosophy as a discipline and a philosophical (broadly speaking) point of view upon many topics can be held.
Welcome to Philforum!
Regards,
John
