Philosophy is an English word that comes to us from French philosophie by way of Latin philosophia, from Greek φιλοσοφία having the meaning "love of knowledge, pursuit of wisdom; systematic investigation." We take that to be a adequate description of philosophy for our purposes.

Perceiving ourself to be an integral part of whatever might be, we often ask ourselves such questions as:

Where did I come from?

Who am I?

Why am I here?

How should I live?

Where am I going?

We depend upon philosophy to answer such basic questios but philosophy often fails to answer such questions from a purely human point of view, to often leaving us to answer them with mythology as an ersatz substitute for truth.

Indeed, a great deal of philosophical thought has remained static over the past 2500 years. The same questions have been answered again and again using deeply ingrained axioms. Only natural philosophy has managed to escape their grasp. Indeed, the growth of new knowledge and understanding of natural philosophy has far out paced all topics of philosophical inquiry.

The purpose of these philosophical ramblings is to question and, if need be, to question all the ingrained axioms and replace them with more apropos axioms derived from the most current knowledge of natural philosophy, derived by scientific methods based on observation and leaving any unknown understanding of such observations for future study.

For many, such an approach will not be acceptable as a credible means of philosophical inquiry. I leave it to the reader to accept it or reject it as they see fit. My great hope is that, either way, my efforts will stimulate their own thoughts about philosophy in our modern times without having to bear the heavy burden of failed philosophical baggage.
