state-of-mind@sbcglobal.net asked:


I am doing an essay for school on philosophy, and I have chosen a specific belief system, however I do not know which philosopher/what philosophy this is. One of my best friends told me about it, and the jist of it is: Before we are born we choose the lessons we want to learn in our lifetime, and from our choices a higher being delegates what specific experiences we will go through in order to learn those lessons.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

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?

I think of myself as more of an aesthetic and existentialist.

I admire beauty, opinions and truth (at least my version of it) above all ideas.

All opinions welcome.

I’m getting into philosophy and would love to begin disussing it on the Internet, but I have a pet-peeve with knowing what the hell I’m talking about before I speak. Plus I’m very intrigued by the subject(s). So what are must-reads? I know Plato’s Republic and some of Freidrich Nietzsche’s work but that’s it.
