DERICK SEARS: Laughing at Philosophy

As we develop, we start to ask questions. Not the sort of questions with easy answers, but the uncomfortable questions that look at life on a broader sense — the philosophical questions. I recently started reading from philosophers and listening to their talks or reading summaries of their work. There was discussions on gender binaries and other complex social issues; issues I will not go into detail too much with yet. I’d like to build my audience before I start to destroy it. The point is philosophy goes much further beyond just the enlightenment philosophers that I, and others, probably learned about in high school.
