Lisa asked:

I have been very happy with the Philosophy skin care line. I was hoping to find a drug store product like Olay or Dove that does what they claim, to try to save a little! Anyone use one they absolutely love?

How has history affected philosophy?

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Liberty asked:

Please, I do not want any free homework help. I know this question seems like it, I am only requesting guidance. I am doing a presentation of ‘my choice’ (teacher in training). I thought it would be interesting to see how history has affected philosophy. Does anyone have any suggestions where I should start? For ex: philosophers, time period, etc…. How have the times affected the philosophers that lived in them?
Silly, I have read. I have too many ideas and am having trouble narrowing them down. But thank you for your response.
