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
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.
My own meanings for over 600 terms (presently) that are used in
philosiophy is in my Philosophical
Dictionary.
Also, there are extensive
notes by me - usually as long as the works annotated - to
Leibniz's New Essays
and Monadology
Aristotle's Ethics
and Politics
Descartes' Meditations
Hume's Enquiries into Understanding
and Morals
Mill's On
Liberty and Utilitarianism
Multatuli's Ideen
Russell's Problems of philosophy
Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
and indeed more: See the philosophy-section.
I wish you pleasurable and
instructive reading and computing, and a high intelligence!
