Why didn’t I study Philosophy?

As I continue with my exploratory reading for my thesis work I am struck by my own ignorance. None of my previous study has done more than touch on philosophical theories and all the books I am reading are assuming that I spent my formative years soaking up the wisdom of Nietzsche, Marx, Heidegger and the rest. But basically all I can do is hear the Monty Python song going through my head –

Interesting that this information just has not come into my education study and yet I need that background so badly now. I don't have time for a Philosophy degree so will just have to do my best!


 

P.S. You may have noticed a more personal slant to this Blog. That's because it is not part of any particular work but I can still see a need for it. Feel free to ignore posts and use this as a portal to other sites.
