About Me
- William Jamison
- "What we have loved Others will love, and we will teach them how." Wordsworth I remember going to college with all my early beliefs still intact. I was raised Roman Catholic. Jesus was my personal Savior. They held together until I switched my major to Philosophy in the second summer. (I was doing so poorly in music that I had to switch in order to bring up my point average enough to continue in school). I had changed to Philosophy primarily because I had no idea what I wanted to study, or should study. Philosophy offered the most, free electives (you couldn't just take any courses you wanted to back then) and by taking free electives in Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology, I figured I could find out what I would like best. As it turned out, I liked Philosophy best.
Yes, the Gutenberg Printing Press was the one invention that made books readily available to those whom could afford them and help to usher in a new age of enlightened education not only based on church doctrine. It was useful for the church as well, but also gave an avenue for more enlightened education of discovery.
