A Tangent on Philosophy

I'm currently listening to: "Midnight Star" by Weird Al Yankovic

All right, I posted mini-descriptions of all my other classes, so I might as well get the gist for my new one up. The professor is a true Philosophy lover. (Philo=Love/Yearning, Sophia=Knowledge/Wisdom) He likes what he does, he likes the idea of thinking for hours on end, he likes the idea of trying out different ideas. He likes the "Why am I here, and how does that affect the rest of the world" topic. On top of it all, he gets to try to explain it to all of us students. I'm looking forward to it, despite myself. His energy is almost contagious. Almost.

I've already heard him echo certain sentiments from my "Philosophy in Politics" class. Hmm... Wonder if he thinks Machiavelli was merely a literary writer or was satiric in The Prince.
