The Pursuit of Philosophy

Why am I pursuing philosophy?

Is it the pursuit of knowledge? What knowledge is? Philosophy have something to with wisdom, right? What is wisdom? Am I pursuing truth? What is truth and what use is it?

Maybe we could do better with practical aim.

Why am I doing Free software and Free content and why it is so important to me? My motivation is to make the society I live in, a better place. What constitutes better and how Free software and Free content relates to that?

What is the purpose of life? Why should I help people?

Maybe I am trying to form a coherent system out of chaotic philosophical ideas I have in my idea. Maybe I am trying to become a "better" person. Am I trying to find "reasons" to explain what I am doing?


Maybe I am trying to remove doubts and gaps in my reasoning. Yeah, that's it.

At least what I think I am trying to do so.
