My name is Daniel Matysiak. I am a graduate of the College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University in Boston, and a graduate student of philosophy at the Catholic University of Lublin. My dissertation is on the subject of mereology, albeit in a very different way than it has so far been approached.
In addition to my recent entrepreneurial activities, I have a strong interest in both the arts and the sciences. Within the sciences, I have a particular interest in philosophy. It is my impression, that philosophy’s reputation has been undermined in the popular imagination as a frivolous, superfluous and pointless discipline reducible to a certain kind of degenerate naval gazing, idle conjecturing and pointless speculation. While this may be what much of what passes for philosophy has become, I will take this opportunity to correct the misconception, and state that philosophy properly understood is, in fact, the first science, of which the field of metaphysics is its keystone, and whose proper object is ultimate reality. Just as the original Greek word φιλοσοφία (philosophia) asserts, it is a love of wisdom (philo-, love; -sophia, wisdom). Understood this way, philosophy is, contrary to popular misconception, a most natural activity and the highest expression of human rationality.
