I've never had the opportunity to study it formally in the past, and I find it hard to fully understand now with my reading issues, so I'm hoping that this thread will make philosophy a bit easier to understand (do they do a Philosophy for Dummies book?! Lol)
Anyway, I'll be at the back taking notes!

It's my life long dream to write a book in that genre. Something like Plato's dialogues but with a science fiction bent to it. Ender's game meet's Sophie's world with Socrates as the teacher. I have 40 pages of notes on it so far. My new years resolution was to make an outline by the end of the year.
