Philosophy

              Philosophy is the basis of a paradigm which directly influences our lives.  Most living under the constraints and benefits of a paradigm are unaware of its philosophical underpinnings.  Diversity of philosophical ideas helps to recognize the benefits as well as the constraints which can give rise to changing the paradigm for the better.
