Can you use logic to reveal the Truth?
We have a history of analytical thinking over half the world.
Are we any closer to The Truth?
We have many things that could logically be called true.
Does that make them Truth?
And, would finding The Truth really help us?
Would it make us happy? Would it guide us in how to live good lives?
How could it do that?
Why should it do that?
Would it matter if we found The Truth and it didn’t help us?
What would be the point in finding The Truth if it doesn’t help us practically?
Are all acts of logics simply solving logic puzzles… no more than games?
What is The Truth anyway?

Music written just for Me
Music... Why is it we hear some music and it feels like it was written just for us? Like it speaks to us in a special way...
How can this songwriter from hundreds of miles away, that we’ve never met, capture our thoughts and feelings so perfectly?
It feels as though no-one else should feel this way, like a personal interchange between two like minds...
And slowly we remember that we have felt this way before... How is it that they can reach into our heart of hearts so often?
And the realisation dawns... Because these feelings aren’t new to us, they are felt by many people many times, and that’s how music touches us, it reminds us of what we all share, that we aren’t, as it feels, alone in our feelings...
Isn’t it nice to know we’re not unique in our unending attempts at emotional experiences.

What is Philosophy; a Theory.
The point of philosophy is not to find out what happens in the world, but what it means to us, what affect the events that occur have on us. Philosophy is looking for the truth, not the truth of what is, but the truth of what “what is” means. Leave science to look for what is, we shall look at what is behind the veneer of reality.
