hmmm very intersting, so...what do i think? i think that psychology is fleeing.. therefore, so is philosophy..as more learning disorders pop up, and as new diseases and behaviors become prevalent philosophy cannot remain stable... i dont know why i just wrote this blog, its been on my mind because we were talking in one of my classes and it became intertwined with using different approaches to tutor someone.
