ABOUT
YOUR SHOP KEEPER: KARENE
HOWIE
My partner (philosopher Geoff Haselhurst) and I are building a large philosophy
website which is the source (and inspiration) for most of the Philosophy
images and quotes in this shop.
We believe that Philosophy (which is ultimately about Wisdom from Truth
and Reality) is important to our world (all proceeds from this shop are
used to promote our work on Philosophy,
Physics and Metaphysics).
Thus we also hope that you find our Philosophy
Website interesting!
Cheers,
Karene. (December, 2007)
