GENIUS FORUMS

One of my philosophy professors (Lloyd P. Gerson) claimed the same thing: philosophy is preparation for death.

Thanks for the link.

The gist of that presentation was more along the lines of, To Philosophise (sic) is to come to terms with the idea of death.

It was mostly fluff, as could be expected from such a lightweight poser.

Philosophise is not erroneous if you are in the UK.

Yep, I've heard Critchley being dismissed as a bit of a lightweight poseur (don't bother quoting this with a ((sic)) after it) before, but I found some of his references to be of interest.
