Welcome to my own philosophy pages
about my own philosophy!
The links
on the left give only a rather random
and very small selection of what I
wrote. (It depends in part on what is in html).
Probably the best introduction to my own ideas are
the
Philosophical Dictionary and
its Key-terms
There is a
good if somewhat indirect survey of some of my
ideas about society, men, education and quite a
few other things for those who read Dutch in my
comments to Multatuli's IDEEN.
Multatuli
was the alias of Eduard Douwes Dekker, a truly
amazing Dutchman who lived from 1820-1887, and
may be read in English in Penguin Classics: "Max
Havelaar", which is mostly autobiographical.
The only
real and genuine modern Dutch philosophers I
know of (that are worth reading) are Multatuli
and Beth, and neither was an academic
philosopher. (Beth was a mathematician and
logician primarily. I like his "Foundations
of Mathematics" very much.)
There is and will be
considerably more philosophy and logic
in English on this site in the future, and indeed there is
much more in the links in this paragraph - and
note that all
philosophical classics I put on line come with my
own comments.
There now also is the - beginning of - the
beginning of my own Ideeën
in Dutch.
I wish you
pleasurable and instructive reading and
computing,
and a high intelligence!
