Philosophy as a way of life.

If like me you have spent your life reading philosophy, you can treat each revelation as an adventure which opens up new aspects as you move forward. What other people have thought and what they are thinking now, is always a delight to share. Ideas in the mind are always an adventure in the same way as brave travel is an adventure.
What I would like initially is to hear some ideas and speculations from anyone who is listening?
Is there anyone out there??
With the Greeks we all move forward through the ages, carrying on the search for answers to the mystifying problems of the Universe from Socrates to Sartres. Of course there was much before Socrates, and much since Sartres. I have a great affection for the pre-Socratics, and for philosophy since Sartres, but for the sake of alliteration we have to start somewhere. Give me a thought on Wittgenstein, or Plotinus? Or whatever makes you happy? It will make me happy to hear from you. Or is not happiness important? Tell me, what is important Why is it important?Philosophy is an adventure! be brave and let me hear from you! I want to KNOW what are you thinking now? Take what you will from the past and we will go into the future together.
Those of us who have got an interest in philosophy, came into it by different routes, some specialising in different philosophers or different schools of thought, Aristotelian, Scholastic, Cartesian, Utiltarian, Existentialist, whatever. Some more concerned with aspects like Metaphysics or logic, Epistemology,Ethics and so on, but whatever your driving force, we are all in it together. Positivist, Thomist or Marxist, we all share one thing in common, belief in the development of ideas and their communication.
For my part, I have been mainly concerned with the history of Western philosophy, and this has helped me to become acquainted with, all sorts of thinkers, some good, some bad? But I do not think there is such a thing as a bad philosopher, some may be weak and ineffectual, but not necessarily bad. Not in the sense that Plato's Thrasymachus or Machiavelli might be considered less than perfect ? But even that is debatable?
Somewhere in the world, whether it be Europe, America, or Asia there are human beings who are concerned with speculative projects, and it is those I would like to hear from. Life is not unending and being 87 years old I would like to end my days, with a little a'priori(or not) conversation with others like myself, and also up and coming younger thinkers.
