Question

thats good right? anyone 13 like it too? i wish school had it as a subject...its so facinating.

i think life is always going to be a mystery. if we figure out one piece of the puzzle theres ALWAYS going to be more to it!

Answer 1

I agree. That's a neat age. Always remember that mystery will always remain in both the answers and the questions. For there is no end to knowledge or man's quest for understanding even more of that mystery.

On the other hand, never lose sight that the other disciplines of man like science, religion, law, politics etc can in someway enlighten your understanding some concept in philosophy.

Good luck in your search. And don't forget to play. You gotta have some fun out of the search as well. Always remember the journey is equal to the destination.

Later gator!

Answer 2

Awesome. If you are really interested in learning philosophy at a relatively young age (pre-collegiate), I would concern myself with the history of philosophy not actually trying to understand/synthesize new ideas. To be honest even as undergrad you will not do much synthesizing until your later years (If that is your major). Philosophy has been very rewarding for me personally and if you love it than go for it. Just keep in mind that the road to becoming a philosopher (at least a paid one) is very long, and quite often fruitless. I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 3

From my experience, there is no real good philosophy classes until you get to college, anway. Unless you happen to find an exceptional, passionate teacher. Course those come in handy in college too.

My advice, just don't over do it. To use the words of Maynard James Keenan: "Over thinking, over analyzing seperates the body from the mind..." Some things aren't really worth analyzing and trying to figure out, just let them be what they are. Don't lose sight of or take for granted the things that don't really need to be explained.

Keep your curiosity for the mystery. I think that is the secret to staying young.

Answer 4

Immaterial of many stuff, Philosophy facilitates information, like a definite awareness of ways warmth and gravity in a restricted area could be rapidly utilized to an information of astro physics. interior the comparable way an information of the blunders made by way of specific philosophical celebrities could be prevented, at last ensuing in looking become Socrates stated as virtuous living by way of the technique of ironing out the blunders or errors made by way of the giants of philosophy.

Answer 5

Your age is not an issue if philosophy interests you.

However, Eastern philosophy has much to say on the love/attachment to philosophy and the suffering that love brings.

Answer 6

A appreciate your sense of belonginess on the Philosophy section. Am great you are part for it at a young age. Stick on it my friend. You have a lot of philosophical years before you.

Have a wonderfuld day!

Answer 7

I'm assuming you live in the US. Some European countries indeed teach philosophy to secondary level school students (around 7th through 12th grade in the US).

Given your age, I would suggest you read "The Tao of Pooh" which is a nice read about Eastern philosophy.

Answer 8

Yes, that's good and other 13 year olds like it.

Answer 9

All I can say is: You've got CLASS kid. ... Keep up the curiosity, and keep on reading/learning; it'll take you far. Good Luck and Have Fun!

P.S. And btw, do NOT ever worry about who else might like it or not - the important thing is: YOU DO. :-)

Answer 10

Agreed. Right on, thirteen!
