New School year, new thoughts!!

Hello fellow classmates:

                     My name is Joseph Davis. I'm a transfer student from OTC where I studied electronic media production. Upon realizing that wasn't what I wanted to do with myself, I transferred to MSSU where I'm currently a secondary education major. When I went to register for my classes, there was no comp II class available on campus. Since I didn't want to wait another semester to take this class, I chose to take the online version as I have never taken an online class. I welcome new challenges and look forward to learning with you. I'm also very fond of the study of Philosophy and more specifically Metaphysics and plan to study those topics when I attend graduate school.

Things you can expect from this blog:


  1. Posts related to, or being, assignments for the class
  2. possibly random and out of context philosophy musings
  3. some context to go with those random musings
  4. numbered lists (like this one). 
So there's a short introduction to my blog. If you're wondering what kind of philosophical things might be posted here: I'm currently studying Sartre's discount on the primacy of the Cartesian foundation of Cogito Ergo Sum. Being that his entire system is built on it, I seek to show its problems as well as lay a foundation for a metaphysical system of my own. Its key points will be the nature of being, ontological accounting for logic, solving the problem of induction as presented by Hume, and establishing a protection from parsimony regarding categories and their use in ethics.
