The Micro-Philosopher

By Paul Musso

The Micro-Philosopher is a publication dedicated to teaching people how to think for themselves and create their own personal philosophy. I also created an online school for philosophy called The Micro-University.

Paul Musso’s Micro-Philosopher gives people a clear, rigorous way to build a personal philosophy they can actually live by. Micro in scope, but serious in its engagement with belief, value, and action.
