So, who is your favorite philosopher? I assume you have all read at least one book on ideas. Right?

I assume you have all read at least one book on ideas I was going to say 'Fountainhead' by Ayn Rand, but my philosophy prof said there is no philosophy in that book. At the moment Pere Teilhard is my fav. Of course he's not a philosopher either, just a geologist/anthropologist.

More info on my favorite philosopher:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09554a.htm He was so far to the right, that he made his right-wing British contemporary, Edmund Burke, sound like a bleeding heart liberal. And that is by the right-wing standards of the Europe of the 1700s.

As cliche as it sounds, I still find the bible quite an intriguing read in this area. Though I am also fond of the Dali Llama's works, as well as Thomas Szasz, and of Course - Hannah More (and yes, I will eventually finish hannahmore.com, been busy with work though - argh!)

Professor Daniel Yergin has offered the most indepth look into the evolution of economic models and politics, the oil industry and globalization throughout the past 2 centuries. Provides enough information to scetch a mud map for our future.
I consider him one of the great minds of the century. I am an avid reader and although I have appreciated many authors I have never experienced an author in this league.

My favorite political philosopher: Russell Kirk. But then, Kirk's favorite was Edmund Burke. Kirk and Burke were co-equals who understood the vital roles that family, religion, and traditional virtues serve in advancing the conservative cause and preserving a healthy society and nation.
They were genuine conservatives wholly unlike ersatz, brittle, and hollow conservative thinkers such as Ayn Rand.
