• philosophy of language-I'm interested in a general sort of way. I have written papers on the importance of philosophy of language in the Chuang Tzu, and in the development of chemistry from alchemy.
• synthetic language-I'm interested in linguistic properties like this, partly from the philosophy of language perspective but also from a poetic perspective. I am trying to think alittle about whether knowledge of the abstract properties of language would help a poet to write more sophisticated poetry, or whether it comes down more to simple practice and familiarity which might include a kind of intuitive grasp of such properties.
• Ancient Greek-especially for philosopher's, ancient greek is just cool, also Homer! I can read the letters and know some words, (mostly philosophy terms or that have a clear English derivative)
• Latin-ditto, both philosophy and poetry, not much actual knowledge though.
• French language-I've studied this for some time, though you wouldn't know it to speak to me! I will look into getting one of those linguistic signs some people have on their pages.
• German language-I am currently studying this language.
• Chinese language-I am studying this in my spare time which is pretty rarely.

• Isaac Newton
• Noether's theorem
• Henri Poincaré
• Group Theory
• Erlangen Program

• Napoleon
• Alexander the Great
• Sargon of Akkad-I'm currently reading up on Ancient Mesopotamian history and literature

• Ezra Pound
• T.S. Eliot
• John Berryman
• Robert Lowell
• Byron

I would like to say I am more involved. At this point, my only involvement is to have this sign on my page.
