am grateful to be introduced to this wonderful site.
just the one i always dreamed about.
today i was going through the ‘word of the day’ section.
the word ‘Synergy’ caught my attentioon, a word which was always elusive to me. there is an editing error. please replace ‘would’ with ‘without’ in the first line of the text.
if some one can explain lucidly the words ‘ontology’, ‘epistemology’ and ‘metaphysics’!
thanks once again.
sorry
i should have posted my above comments on ’synergy’.
clicked the wrong word.
