Idunno budy. Ideal is a relative word. :/ 'What I Believe' a pretty good essay about the good life and other stuff. The good life is my favorite part though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge1hwSZrNwM

Hegel and Plato are nuthin. Wittgenstein wasn't much concerned with epistemology. He did more in the way of how language works and what we can use it for. Meaning. Which I guess CAN be knowledge, but Emerson was not thinking along those lines at all. What would make you believe this? That's a hippie thing to do, if you're just looking to 'find answers' without any actual thinking. Try Bertrand Russell. He is easier to understand because english is his first language. History of Western Philosophy can be found in it's entire audiobook form on youtube. It's good, but if you like philosophy, it's not nearly enough.
