This book consists of more than 1,600 numbered
thoughts. The drift is to expand
philosophy to embrace what sometimes was a part of it centuries ago and what
may become part of it in future. The
book is distinctive, individualistic and unconventional.
The author, a former university lecturer in
philosophy, is vehemently anti- academic philosophy.
This is a work not only for philosophers; it
is designed to also be of interest to and understood by ordinary people who
have had no training in philosophy. The author encourages readers to become
philosophers themselves.
The thoughts are deliberately in random
order. You can start at the end, the
middle, or anywhere in the work and jump about at will.
Many of the thoughts are aphorisms; one
liners. A very large number of topics
are touched. Many topics are not part of
conventional notions of what philosophy is about.
Also included are household tips, practical
suggestions relevant to everyday life and problems and predictions of what may
come in future centuries on earth- and elsewhere in the universe.
