Hello, my name is citia and I am in grade 11 in highschool. I have never taken a philosophy course before but I did register for a grade 12 philosophy intro course next year. I am very interested in philosophy and right now I am just covering the basics of all philosophers from thales to russell. I signed up here to understand philosophy better through an interactive way.
Welcome to Philforum!
One can spend one's life covering the basics of all philosophies. Reading philosophers not only illustrates how one can actually do philosophy but also the many different ways it can be done; writing and conversing from a philosophical perspective can also bring clearer understanding of what philosophy is.
Regards,
John
Hello and welcome to the forum. High school is the best time to begin learning philosophy; it is the same time people begin developing a sense of individuality. Anyway, good luck on that philosophy course and enjoy your stay on the Philosophy Forum.
