As I didn't enter university until I was 37 years of age and didn't study philosophy at all, I have a limited vocabulary in that area.

Due to the good fortune of lack of education in this area, I could only go to the core.....ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
