I like to think of myself as a naturalist - insofar as that term is at all clear.

Catholicism is the most philosophical branch of Christianity.

Taken as hypotheses, religious claims do very badly. Yet the striking fact is that this does not worry Christians.

One philosophically fascinating aspect of Catholicism is the very strange conception of reality it presents (the incarnation, the eucharist, judgement day etc.).

I do think that philosophy and science are very different intellectual enterprises, but that does not mean that when we get knowledge from philosophy it is a different kind of knowledge.

I have a general moral: great philosophers may be great, but that is not a reason to follow them. Don't be a follower. Work it out for yourself.

Wine is not discovered but made: it is an artifact that can be appraised that can be appraised aesthetically

Since I don't believe in externalism, I don't think it can explain consciousness!

Unlike art which contains a message, wine conveys nothing, it has no intellectual or cognitive content

The wine itself has aesthetic value; but what it is for a wine to have aesthetic value cannot be understood without making reference to the experience to tasting it

Naturalism is a methodological rather than a metaphysical view. It's because I am a naturalist, actually, that I am sceptical about physicalism.

I keep myself busy with things to do, but every-time i pause, i still think f you.

I believe it stands for 'mother I'd like to...befriend.

Mosquitoes can ruin the hunt for big game.

Love is the only duty that we know.

I lost my reputation, I forgot my truth. But I have my beauty and I have my youth.

If our company is to survive and prosper, over the long term we must get our share of the youth market.

You may buy from me in your own language, but sell to me in mine.
