Eighty-four

Today I'm 84. I never thought I would live this long. Had I died at 60, I would have thought my life wasted. Since then I have published six philosophical books in English, four of which have now been translated into Arabic and I am now going through the - hopefully - final revision of the fifth. Apart from a handful of congenial spirits (spread over the continents), my books have hardly been noticed, but I am hopeful that sooner or later my work will be appreciated as a highly original contribution to philosophical thought. I do not think I have much of value to add. If I die today, I will die contented. Please excuse this very egotistic posting.

Hello Sir,

I've read few of your articles so far, and you're not only a good philosopher but a great writer. You make it easier for others to understand so many complex ideas. I am so glad I came across your page, I've Wittgenstein to thank for that though. I wish you good health.

Thank you for your amazing work.

Kind Regards,
Priyanka Singh
