Who here has studied philosophy?

Informally. I read some of Nietzche's books because I had liked his quotes for so long that I thought that I may as well read the rest.

I tried and failed to read an Lucretus' poetry version of Epicurean writings - I may have been reading the wrong segment.

I decided to stop reading philosophy for a while since I wasn't putting enough of it into practice.

Solzhenitsyn may not have primarily been a philosopher, but his advice on how to live is my favorite of all that I've run across.

...and I've read Sartre and Camus and bits of others.

All philosophy written since Kant was written out of the author's hatred of Kant -- Nietzche
