What does it mean to be 'me'? What has made me who I am?

Can I change?

Although words are my stock-in-trade, I find that some of my best thinking is done when walking, particularly when I get an opportunity to get out into inspiring countryside, or along a coastal path, as here at near Durdle Door in Dorset. Hence this website has a section on Visual Philosophy and also galleries showing some of my favourite places. There are some things that can be seen but never fully expressed.

 

The world is not what we think about, but what we live in!

During the next few months Hodders will be publishing a new range of paperback books, including new versions of my five current Understand... titles in the Teach Yourself series.

 

 

 

 

Only 96 pages long, each book represents an abridged version of the original titles, selecting the most essential text for each topic.

 

They are a handy and quick way to get into a subject, but be warned - if you already have the original book, you will find nothing new; the text has been lifted straight from the earlier versions.
