Philosopher Roll Call!

[derby378]

So, who's your favorite?

[swag]

1. I chose Wittgenstein

What we cannot speak of, we must pass over in silence.

I blew latte through my nose when I saw cult-leader Ayn Rand on the list.

[GumboYaYa]

11. Me too on the cult leader.

Consumption, consumption, consumption .....

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. St Thomas Aquinas

[GumboYaYa]

3. Other - Nietzche or Heidegger for me over all the others on the

list.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. Where you been?

:hi:

[GumboYaYa]

9. I've been more scarce lately.

The few months before the end of the year is the busiest time for me.

The next few weeks will be even worse. I'm in Missouri so in addition to my regular job, I feel like I'm working a second full-time job with ACT trying to GOTV.

I hope all is well with you.

I was force fed too much Aquinas by the Jesuits to even consider him.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. I understand that completely. Luckily I'm around Franciscans - the hippies

of the Catholic world. I just admire the way Aquinas brought Aristotle to the church.

Anyway - don't work too hard :thumbsup:

5. Socrates - "They unexamined life is not worth living."

I think that's what we're all about here. Thought over dogma. Anybody think freepers could identify any of those folks?

12. always been partial to John Locke . . . n/t

14. William of Occam.

Occam's Razor: "One should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything."

In other words, Keep it simple, Stupid.
