First things first I would like to thank Dirty Sci-Fi Buddha for liking the introduction. You can find Dirty Sci-Fi Buddha here.
This is not my first post about legitimacy. You can read my first post on legitimacy here. Will legitimacy blog one was about me trying to convince the reader that I have legitimacy, to talk about the self. Due to studying the self as part of my A222 Exploring philosophy and reading synaptic self by Joseph LeDoux.
Blog post two on legitimacy is me asking the reader for the go-ahead to try and write my book. I do not have a clue what I would write about. As I said in the first blog regarding legitimacy. When I try talking about the self and identity. All I receive from people is a look of total confusion. Which is normally followed by “don’t talk nonsense”. For that reason The self: a journey to find me. Shall not be the title of the book.
Perhaps my book could focus on the meaning of life. I have the Philosophy of Religion as a starting point. Or I could write a book on Making Sustainability Work in Scotland: How I run a Social Enterprise. I like that. At this point, A-LEAF is still a work of fiction. So for now the book will remain on the shelf.
To the readers will you give me the legitimacy to write the book, when the time comes. At the end of the day, if you don’t buy it. there is no legitimacy in what I say. People are given power because people follow.
