Here I am pseudo-charismatically posing before the ocean. It's really cold
and refreshing!
About me
Greetings...
I am Cihan Baran, currently a junior at Stanford Universtity, majoring in Electrical Engineering. I am originally from Istanbul, Turkey. This website is basically my project for CS193C, a CS class I took. I had meant to start up a website for myself, so that I could put up some of my writings every now and then. In a way, this project was a nice excuse. (Shrugs and then continues writing.) (I shy away from the idea of blogging because I don't like to write regularly.)
Aside my interest in science and math stretching to my childhood, I recently developed a keen interest for philosophy. EE at Stanford is really work-intensive. So instead of taking philosophy classes, I usually explore philosophy as a pastime activity.
As it happens, I usually find myself toying around with philosophical ideas but never really bother to put them down on paper. So I thought, "Why not share these ideas on the web with everyone, who MUST BE dying to learn about'em!"
You are free to make use of the texts on this web page as long as you cite me and also please let me know by an email!
Yeah, yeah, most likely you are a non-philosophical reader and must be wondering what the heck is wrong with Mary. So why don't you start with Against Jackson's Knowledge Argument ?
