Default Re: A Controversial Point of View

My only actual experience with any philosopher or philosophical writings occurred when I was six years old and I was at my super brilliant cousin's house. He was five at the time and later became valedictorian and Harvard graduate.

We found a book on the shelf called Being and Nothingness. We started reading it to each other while rolling on the floor laughing. Every few months we would repeat the experience picking out random passages. Perhaps this is not the best way to form my opinion of the subject.

Don't worry, people with PhD's in philosophy roll around on the floor laughing at Sartre as well.

I'm not sure how you could have any serious opinions about philosophy as a subject matter if that's your only experience with it.
