Essays Page - Philosophical Essays

Here are my philosophical essays; these provide a peek into some little corners of my brain. These are just the ones in the "philosophical" category; you can go back to the main essays page to check out the other types. Some that were written at a specific time no longer apply to my current situation and were written in the passion (or more often, annoyance) of a moment, so take them at face value. And best of all, you can leave comments, or read the comments of others!
