We've all said it at one time or another: "I'm working on it." Whether we mean losing weight, or getting our chores done around the house, we all mean the same thing: Please don't bug me, I'm trying to get it done, it's just going to take more time.
Well, I am working on my philosophy of knowledge. I haven't forgotten you. The problem is that what seemed fairly straight forward is turning out to be much more complicated. Right now, I'm trying to find a proof for the independent existence of things that are not me and the persistence of those things outside my own perception.
Frankly, the easy road would be to just add these two concepts to my list of postulates. However, neither seems so basic that it can't be proven. Also, I don't want to get into the habit of just "postulating" anything I find difficult to prove.
Please bear with me and I will keep you apprised of my progress. And, if you have any insight or suggested reading, by all means, let me know. I could certainly use the help.
