My name is Paul and I have been a student of philosophy for many years, I have nothing to prove and I have not a chip on my shoulder. My major influences are Socrates, Kant, Nietzsche, Derrida and Deleuze. I have no absolutes and I believe all Philosophers are creators and artists that paint the world in many colors and textures in order to make a world that we can live in. But once we scrape the paint off and look behind the canvas there is nothing but the great abyss.
