A site for amateur philosophers everywhere! All of it with a healthy dollop of irreverence. Why the couch potato philosopher? Because who owns an armchair anymore anyway?
Welcome to The Couch Potato Philosopher!
Welcome to The Couch Potato Philosopher! Do you ponder mind body duality while waiting at the McDonalds drive-thru? Do you sometimes feel more Humean than human and then quietly laugh at your own clever pun? Have you ever felt out of place because, while your neighbors and friends are talking about who won Survivor, you're wondering if solipsism is true and if so is all sex really just masturbation? Ok, maybe that's just me. But if this sounds like you at all I have a most serious diagnosis: you probably have a chronic philosophical orientation and, like other certain orientations, it's permanent. So, it's time to embrace the truth, (even if you don't think there is such a thing): you love philosophy and are proud of it. Amateur philosophers everywhere come out of the closet! The basic questions of existence need not be addressed only within the Ivory tower. I know that sometimes you might feel like you just Kant (wink wink) begin to read the dense tangled volumes of literature out there. Does one really need to read the entire Western Philosophic cannon to be able to understand contemporary (and, in turn, eternal) philosophic debates? That's a lot of pressure if you don't have Harold Bloom's schedule. Don't worry, this site is for you. Not only that: it's all about you. The best "academic" blogs are those with the most robust reader interaction and I hope this blog is no different. And guess what, it can also be pretty damn fun! So dust off that old copy of Thus Spake Zarathustra, and Summa Theologica and shout it from the rooftops. "Philosophy rocks!" Believe it or not, those were Socrates real last words.
