favorite philosopher?
#17
RE: favorite philosopher?
Bryan McGee is a good author. My favorite philosopher is the Holy Spirit and the revelations that I have received which overlap substantially with philosophy. God has given me answers to many questions that I have raised concerning salvation, the providence of God and free will, how prayer works, etc, and gave me revelations. This is my favorite, to receive revelations from God.

Recently I have been thinking about Alastair MacIntyre and Aristotle. I would like to attend school to study the relationship between analytic philosophy, linguistics and computational linguistics and teach philosophy someday, but I haven't yet been able to do so.

Before I was a Christian, my favorite philosopher was Noam Chomsky. I have since become less impressed with his approach. Other philosophers who have influenced me are David Hume and Friedrich Nietzsche and Immanuel Kant.

Recently I have studied Russell Kirk, a conservative political philosopher who has impressed me. Theologically I have been influenced by the charismatic movement a lot. I like Alvin Plantiga's approach to apologetic's and would like to get deeper into his studies of epistemology.
