The Garden Project

[The Courtesan]

Several P/people have mentioned doing essays, both personal theory and research style from idea in the glossary to general philosophy. Please feel welcome to take an idea from this list to start a thread or topic chat as a method of preparing an essay sharing Y/your knowledge with the Garden community. These essays will be posted in the site's Library. Some topics have been taken up, but the W/writer may appreciate help with research and writing. Also, out of garden writers may have some wonderfully well written work on these and other topics, the Garden is happy to publish them, as long as the author has given consent.

In general, in an article, please explain the "who, what, when, where, how and why" if it a research style, for an opinion piece, both pro and con views are appreciated by the reader for learning and decision making.
