I am interested in western and eastern philosophies. I like all the famous philosophers. I am working toward a doctor of philosophy in engineering. I am learning about different buddhist sects, as my transition into eastern philosophy. I need to improve my vocabulary for better philosophical writings. I enjoy reading about the philosophy of science. happy 4th of july

Hi, and welcome. A buddhist engineer sounds like a really interesting combination. Look forward to reading your views.
...most of our actions are the result of the past, or according to a future ideal. That's not action, that is just conformity. J Krishnamurti "Philosophy, to the Philistine, is an evolutionary process, watched over by some sort of brisk dynamic Providence, and culminating in the supreme insight of modern thought." John Cowper Powys

Welcome, t3chn0n3rd! I look forward to your posts in Philosophy of Science. To begin with, aletheist has added the topic "Engineering Knowledge" in the Metaphysics/Epistemology section that you may be interested in.
