Andrew—
Mary Midgely: there's a good living philosopher for you.
I'm with Mark to an extent regards modern philosophy. It's little more than a byname for rational enquiry. To be fair, though, the first steps on the road to reason were taken by Plato in the guise of Socrates. But Plato was an idealist. The typical modern philosopher swings the other way. Both wrongly conflate property with substance. We need more out-and-out dualists.
