About the Idle Philosopher

 

Hi my name is Trevor Forrester and I'd like to welcome you to this website

Over the past 15 years I have experienced both the best and worst that life can bring. I have experienced emotional highs and lows as I sought to struggle through a long and debilitating illness. Having on two occasions had to face the prospect of my own death I have come to realise that the world is not necessarily a great place to live.

Having undergone this experience has caused me to reflect deeply on many of the questions that I have about our life on Earth and the reason for it. Likewise as I look at the world today most of what I see is quite frightening.

During both my illness which included many dark nights of the Soul as well as my convalescence over the last 2 1/2 years I have been looking a lot deeper into some of the philosophical questions regarding life, relationships, society and the world in general.

My purpose in building this website was so that I could look at some of these issues in a deeper more meaningful way and at the same time provide a opportunity for others to share in the struggles I undergo in trying to understand the true meaning of life. I would also hope to shed some light on the question of personal suffering for the glory of God.

I invite you to join with me by reading my blog as I attempt to shed some light on many of the issues that most of us struggle with on a daily basis.

Philosophy a Definition:

is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. The word "philosophy" comes from the Greek(philosophia), which literally means "love of wisdom". (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
