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.
Here it is in a nut shell, packed with envy and disdain and the dark side of the human condition.

In the meantime, he had been openly living and traveling with a French gypsy called Juliette Froissy Pourtalès, and Peirce was dismissed from Johns Hopkins University when this scandal was pointed out by Newcomb, and his subsequent applications to several major Amercian universities were all suspiciously unsuccessful. He married Juliette seven days after the divorce came through in 1883, but the damage had been done." Source the basics of Philosophy Web sitehttps://www.philosophybasics.com/philosophers_peirce.html
