About

The Rational Grapes is a humanistic website created by me, Lily, and my associate, Monica. Its main purpose is to challenge irrational behavior and encourage the pursuit of knowledge. Here, you will find information regarding philosophy and music especially, but also art and gardening. The site is called The Rational Grapes for no reason other than my value of rationality and affinity for grapes. Please feel free to comment on anything and add to the discussion.
