Description

Hello my name is Connor. I would like to talk to you about philosophy. I am not an academic. I’m not studying at university or night school. I am learning about philosophy because it makes me be better in general and it gives me interesting questions to use my clever on. Alternative Philosophy is all about accessible philosophy, this topic seems so academic and disconnected from everyday life. I've found it is practical and helpful on a daily basis so I'm keen to share that outlook.
