James Quirk - James Quirk
I have been studying and practicing Eastern and Western philosophy on an independent basis for over ten years, with an emphasis on nondualist approaches. My work has been featured in numerous venues, including books, periodicals, encyclopedias, Internet radio, websites, and more.
I am also a part-time freelance writer with knowledge in a wide variety of subjects. I look forward to contributing to Suite101, where there is the potential to reach a broad audience of discriminating readers.
