A new blog!

We all have to start somewhere.

Hello, everybody. This is not my first blog, I had one on tumblr that I gave up on, mostly because it had no real purpose. I'm not new to blogging per se either, I have had a youtube channel for almost 3 years now. 

The purpose of this blog isn't fully decided, but hopefully it will be a place where I can concentrate on one of my passions which is history. I am approaching the end of my second year studying history at university and would like to pursue a career in the field, although I am not one hundred percent sure what exactly.

I would like to be as objective as possible in my essays, however I am going to openly state what my current views are. Politically I would classify myself as a "liberal" in the sense of the freemarket economists Alfred Marshall and Ludwig von Mises. In terms of philosophy, my greatest sympathies currently lie with Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer. None of these are set in stone and as I continue to write I suspect these will change.

This blog will consist of essays I have written and research I have been doing. Initially I will likely be reposting essays I have already submitted for uni. I hope you find something interesting here.
