Who is your favorite philosopher /lit/?

I like Alan Watts.

>> No.11858349

Alan Watts was not a philosopher, he was a self-professed "spiritual entertainer." Do not call him a philosopher: it puts him in the pretentious orbit of McKenna types. He was a man with intellectual humility, and he eschewed the term.

He's starting to get a little stale for me but I'm still extremely fond of William James.
