In this blog my main goal is to summarize what I read and hear when I, as an amateur in the correct sene of the word, am trying to learn philosophy. I did not study philosophy at school, I got interested in philosophy rather "late in life", and have a day time job doing completely different things (computer engineering).
I am from Sweden, living in the University town of Uppsala. I went to a evening time course on "history of ideas" in Uppsala University in 2008, after that my interest in philosophy awakened! Having initally read general works and history of philosophy, I have now read quite a lot of original works by some of the "big guns" of philosophy. "Sein und Zeit" by Heidegger is the toughest one so far... Lately, I have read quite a lot Political Philosophy, most notably Rawls "A theory of Justice" and "Anarchy, State and Utopia" by Nozick. I do listen to a lot of philosophical Radio programs from different countries, subscribe for philosophical magazines, take part in philosophical forums on the web and I do have some contact with the Academical Philosophers at Uppsala university.
