psi,

All that is required is an active curiousity, welcome aboard psi, glad to have you with us!! your already familar with the forum itself I take it. You however will not be able to post a new topic until you have a number of response posts under your belt, after which you can post any new philosophical topic you wish to explore. Again a most hardy welcome psi!! boagie

If your contribution is cogent and clear, it is not necessary to have read the philosophical canon to participate. Philosophy, which in a way is ordered reasoning based on a critical analysis of the facts, is both of major importance in the modern world and is open to any person wishing to make a serious attempt at thinking.
Welcome to the Philforum!
Regards,
John
