malc stone, lets stay fluid on the philosophy part of this board, It is/will become a major part here soon enough (when newbs like me) began to figure it out. I did not like the Philosophy part when I first came here, but you know what?, it has grown on me, especially knowing/hoping a light emitting scholar will show up and take us all to school.

"try to integrate the philosophical principles with how they relate to market practices/theory,"

I certainly don't want to distract from the intended discussion. In my defense, it is a blurry line ... how are philsopohical principles to be applied when the said principals have not been established or agreed? Another difficulty is philsophical principals are very inter-related ... business ethics is related to ethics in general which is related to epistemology which is related to the nature of consciousness which is related to metaphysics ... etc. If the discussion is to be philosophical or cover philsophy, It's going to be a challenge, I think, to establish clear yet non-artificial boundaries.

Of course, I've not thought it through so perhaps there is some good distinction. Regardless, knowing my own personality quirks, it will be difficult for me to restrain myself, especially when I see terms such as Existentialism!! I can't help myself! Thus, I'm probably not going to contribute more to the philosophical side of things here ... absolutely no hard feelings and I can appreciate my interest might not be well-aligned with everyone else.

I'll continue to lurk... thanks again for the efforts.
