I am an associate professor of philosophy at the University of North Georgia .
On the Nature of Philosophy:
Philosophy arises out of both our nature and the world’s (an artificial line, of course, as our nature is a part of the world). We have both “bodily” and “thoughtly” existence, the nature of each a) affects our modes of existing and b) are themselves always in question. The world comes to us underdetermined and variably interpretable. Add to this situation that we exist in time, and in a reciprocal relationship with the world and each other, ourselves and the world always changing in response to each other.
