I think when I was two years old in the sandbox. I think I formulated my basic philosophy there, and I haven't really had to alter it very much ever since.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was interested in philosophy before I knew I was. That's to say, when I was at school, I used to argue with my friends about issues that turned out to be philosophical ones of some kind.
I discovered philosophy in my youth when I read 'wildly,' and thus I was exposed to the world of ideas.
I am an example of a person who got zeroed into a philosophy early.
My philosophy in life, where I was trying to get, could have been a little bit different.
Only then, approaching my fortieth birthday, I made philosophy my life's work.
At Harvard College, I discovered political philosophy as a way of life.
I got really good input up until the age of 11, which is perfect. That's when adolescence starts, when I would have really wanted to rebel. Up until that point, though, it didn't feel like doctrine, and it gave me a great moral structure.
I think it was when I realised I could talk anybody into doing just about anything I wanted them to.
By the time I had got to college, I had begun to read and had decided that most of what Christians believed could not be credible. So I became a philosophy major at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.
I think it actually started in my late thirties. I started changing psychologically, and it was difficult to translate that into my writing.
