I don't really respond to email. I prefer to keep things scoped to single discussions on forums. Beyond that, I'm simply not an expert on these topics so I suspect we'll hit limits almost immediately to what I can meaningfully engage in before I either lead you entirely astray or simply have nothing to provide. There are numerous academics in this area though who I suspect would be quite interested in discussion, and I'd point you towards the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy as the defacto resource for these topics. I'm actually quite sick with a fever currently so you'll have to excuse me for such a brief response, I'm barely awake as it is.
