There was a time in which philosophy had to fight for separation from religious influences. The freedom of thought that it achieved has cultivated a whole wealth of intellectual achievements. But the removal of religious influence has also made it more challenging for philosophy to answer important questions, especially in the realm of ethics. The Authenticity of Ethics is an attempt to re-invite religious discourse into philosophical inquiry. It seeks to account for who we are, how we come to know, where value comes from, and how we should live our lives.

Philosophy does not require that one have a talent for playing the violin or throwing a ball or writing in computer code. All it requires is the ability to think, an ability which all of us have. In the spirit of Georg Hegel and Gottfried Herder, Y Philosophy argues that anyone can become a philosopher given the proper direction. Bringing philosophy down to its barebones - epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics - Y Philosophy provides the basic means for anyone to create their own philosophy. It aims to make doing philosophy as fun and easy as playing with play dough, or Plato if you will, offering everyone a taste of the joys of the examined life.
