Shlomi Fish’s Articles and Essays

Introduction

This section concentrates my articles and essays, which despite common belief, are not limited to discussing literature. Note that the /philosophy/ URL component, is a historical relic and many of these do not fall under what is now considered as philosophy. I may only be considered an amateur philosopher.

Random (Practical) Ideas I have

I have quite a lot of ideas which could prove of value to others. In this, I’m trying to put them online in hope they will be materialized by someone else. (it’s lame, but everyone else is doing it)
