He does have a way of saying things simply and clearly that not a lot of word are necessary.

I've been reading William James lately, but for me it has to be a coin toss between Plato and Robert C. Solomon. Solomon writes about emotions in great detail, and that is my field of interest, but Plato is special to me in that I find his writing style to be the most pleasing out of all of those I have read.

On the flip side, I don't care too much for Spinoza or Charles Peirce, not because of the content of their arguments, but because of the style of their writing.

Alan Watts is probably my favorite, though I really enjoy Slavoj Zizek.

I enjoyed Simone de Beauvoir's work quite a bit, and Machiavelli's The Prince is also very enlightening. (I mainly love it because it was written about Cesare Borgia, but I'm not sure if Machiavelli is technically a philosopher...it's more of an ethics thing, but whatever.

)

Of course I also love the usual suspects: Socrates, Nietzsche, Sartre. My favorite "comedian philosophers" are Russell Brand and George Carlin.

After some more thought, I'd have to change my answer to Matthew Stover.

Thanks RyuJin! I feel the same way now. I haven't been able to say that in a LOOOONG time. Whew.

While this might not be my favorite philosopher, Deepak Chopra wrote an extremely well written philosophy book "The Way of The Wizard." I highly recommended it and is a good book to meditate to. Each chapter is small but creates deep thought processes and should be taken slowly.

Thank you. Is this in the Library? Here at TOTJo I mean?

I am sad that it is not more prominent myself. But, it is highlighted here. It is at the bottom of the page!

I agree with an earlier comment that your "favorite philosopher" is like your "favorite book" and usually ends up changing depending on what is going on in your life. I would say Kant is one of my all time favorites. I do love his efforts to synthesize logic and a good moral code (even if most people don't buy it). I haven't read Marcus Aurelius but I am beginning to notice him more and he does seem like somebody I would like. I also enjoy reading Machiavelli, Locke, Rousseau, Nietzsche, Rawls, Nozick, Foucault, and John Stuart-Mill. I believe that there is always at least a little bit to take from every philosopher.

I know he's famous for other things, but I have always enjoyed the philosophies of Bruce Lee.
He said that in life, like in martial arts, “Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”.
His teachings were amazing. His goal was to be true to himself and his teachings were to inspire others to be true to themselves.

Albert Camus has had the greatest influence on my own life. Especially Myth of The Sisyphus and The Rebel. The distinctions between philosophic suicide, suicide and rebirth is quite wonderful

Albert Camus and Fredrick Nietzsche are the ones I go back to often.
Also, not a "philosopher", but I often read the complete works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow as a 'bible' for reflection and inspiration.
