The Philosophy of Shopping Now, there are only two known philosophies of shopping. One states that the best things belong to the early riser, a theorem proven when you beat fellow philosophers to the goodies. The other school holds things that are meant for you will be there when you get there, waiting. A Doctorate is earned when your philosophy adjusts to whenever you manage to crawl out of bed.On Saturdays, when noon = the break of dawn, I take my favorite Parisian walk. This is a loose promenade in the North of the city - from Montmartre, with a slight dip into Pigalle, then on to the Barbès, the Arab section. You can do it in a few hours, or take all day. This is not a blockbuster approach to seeing a city - just a quiet walk in some charming neighborhoods, with hopes of a nice meal and picking up a few new world music recordings. I look at it this way: eventually all the paintings in all the museums in Paris will visit New York, but old French 45s?
