<< OK............I'm sure to be flamed for this by some but there is an underlying reason for my choice also..............

Gen. George S. Patton, Jr. >>


You better hope that Czar doesn't see that.

I think I've dealt with him on this before..............My choice has good reasoning behind it!

<< "No man, he wrote 1984 "
Nope, that was George Orvel inventer of the airplane and pop corn. >>



I was just sure he wrote Brave New World.

I submit that the title "philosopher" is fluid, so my favorite is Gene Roddenberry.

Pooh Bear

 

[jjones]

Yogi Berra.

 

[Mockmaw]

Chuck Palahniuk..

Or in the traditional sense: Albert Camus

<< Pooh Bear >>


I would place Winnie the Pooh second after Aristotle.

Machiavelli, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Augustine...Geez...taking a political philosophy class...take your pick...

Augustine has some cool stuff about time and God, like Aristotle's stuff....Aquinas, come on a Dark Ages philosopher!, Plato the start of it all (basically) and Machiavelli's prince...

Krishnamurti







<< If my behaviour is according to either the code of the Hindu, the Muslim, the Buddhist or the Christian or the Communist, then I must be in opposition to other cultures. But the world is no longer so rigidly divided into the Hindu, the Muslim, the Catholic and all the rest of it; must there not be a behaviour which is completely human and yet free beyond all nationalistic, linguistic, geographical divisions? >>

<< Pooh Bear >>


I concur

 

[yellowperil]

I've only read a few books and taken an intro course. From that I think the most interesting (and applicable to me) are Socrates, David Hume, and John Stuart Mill.

<< Who is your favorite philosopher? >>

Without question, Homer.

Shlivan. Although Snotler's done good work.

 

[Orsorum]

CS Lewis...

From ancient times, Plato; from medieval times, St. Thomas Aquinas.

 

[JotaJ]

Wow I can't believe no one said Freidrich Nietzsche yet. Not only brillant but influencial.

 

[Perknose]

Gotta agree with jjones on this one, it's Yogi Berra all the way!

It was Yogi who said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

On a more serious note, it would be hard for me to cite just one philospher. However, leaving career RBI's out of the equation, I am partial to both John Stuart Mill and the quintessentially All American logical positivist and pragmatist William James.

 

[Nemesis77]

Sun Tzu.

And maybe Nietzsche. Haven't read much of his writings, but what I have read, has intrigued me.

 

[SendTrash]

I have to also vote for C.S. Lewis

 

[Aquaman]

Bruce Lee

Be formless, shapeless, like water
You put water into a cup it becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle
You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot
Water can flow, or it can crash
Be like water my friend

Cheers,
Aquaman

You seek he who is most wise...

 

[Shalmanese]

mm... Peter Singer although he is a controversial choice for sure, I dont always agree with his stance but his argument is usually rock solid.

the Camus, Nietzsche, Satre triad bears mention for its influence on my life.

And just to stir things up a bit...

Jesus
