Gary asked:

I am 14 years old and I am reading Sophie's World and Plato to Nato and before I started I wrote a
small book on my ideas of everything, religion, the world, life after death etc. Can you send me few
more ideas to cover which you think I might be interested in?

============

There is an enormous range of philosophical issues you can cover. You might consider the nature of
morality, personal identity, time and space or whether man has free will, for instance. You could look
at Thomas Nagel's book Mortal Questionsand also his book What does it all mean.All Nagel's
papers are of general interest and raise more particular issues than those I mention. You could look
at new book by Simon Blackburn called Thinkwhich is introductory and easy to read.
