Diversions for Insomniacs #7

Rodin's The Thinker
Sometimes insomnia is driven by a steady stream of thoughts that can be hard to shut off. These thoughts can be mundane, a reflection of everyday anxieties, but from time to time they take on a more existential flavor - "Why am I here?" "What is the purpose of existence?"

Wouldn't it be nice if you could get an answer to these tough questions from a trained philosopher? Well, you can, at the
Ask a Philosopher! website. This service, offered by the International Society of Philosophers, has answered thousands of questions since it began in 1999. Check the archives to see if your burning questions have already been answered. If not, submit them and gain some insight into what's been keeping you awake at night.
