Ever felt a strong energy or pull towards someone we only just met recently? Like you you shared some unspoken connection and understanding?

Agree or disagree, true or false... is not philosophy! Philosophy is 'original critical thought'; Critical Thinking http://www.skepdic.com/ticriticalthinkin... Bertrand Russell on Critical Thinking http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Educ/EducHa... As opposed to the 'scholastic'; "..."philosophologists", a term coined by Robert Pirsig ("Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", "Lila") to denote people who study other people's philosophy but cannot do philosophy themselves. He also says that most people who consider themselves philosophers are actually philosophologists.

The difference between a philosopher and a philosophologist is like the difference between an art and aesthetics; one does and the other studies what the other does and theorizes about it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
