I can spend ages wandering through this building and never truly feel equipped to appreciate it all. I have problems
with people that profess to dislike modern art as all art, at one point, is modern. So do they dislike the art, or the
unfamiliar?

"Caricature of A.C. Grayling ŠPJ Holden"
AC Grayling
Proving you don't have to be dead to be a fine philosopher. AC Grayling has written a huge number of books.
I can't claim to have read even 20% of them but those that I have (excluding "Scepticism" which was impenetrable to me), have
been very thought provoking.
A rationalist, an empirisist, an atheist (?) but most importantly an Edinburgh man.
A Treatise of Human Nature, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion and The History of Great Britain
is a fair breadth of subject matter for anyone.
Nigel Warburton
Author and lecturer as well as co-presenter of 'Philosophy Bites' which is a great podcast to get for pondering
the inponderable whilst walking the dogs.
Julian Baggini
He is the editor of The Philosophers' Magazine - which I subscribe to and very good it is too. Also
he is author of The Pig that Wants to be Eaten and 99 other thought experiments (2005) as well as books on atheism
and basic philosophy.
Douglas Adams
OK, not a philosopher pre se but he did give us the answer to life, the universe and everything along with the
Pan Galatic Gargleblaster, Marvin and a deeper understanding of dolphins. A man, such as he, should have lived longer
than his 49 years.
