Thomas Szasz.
Important and simple insights. And a belief in human freedom too.
Karl Popper.
Eric Fromm.
George Orwell.
A belief in decency shines through.
Bertrand Russell.
Noam Chomsky.
Richard Dawkins.
Stubbornly reasonable. He gives a necessary perspective.
Mikhail Bakunin.
Aldous Huxley.
Umberto Eco.
Graham Greene.
Mikhail Bakunin.
Aldous Huxley.
A very wise man....if there is such a thing. I am not interested at all in LSD. I am very interested in his more philosophical essays and writings. He had a liking for Indian thought amongst other things. He was a humanist and he had a good sense of history....
Umberto Eco.
Intellectual and fun.
Graham Greene.
A "Catholic Atheist", an Englishman, and a wonderful writer......
Desmond Morris.
Desmond Morris's essential and simple perspective is that he was trained as a zoologist so why not examine humans as "just another species" under the gaze of a zoologist. I am against behaviourism, but I think this perspective is interesting and revealing, if not the be all and the end all..... I like very much the book "The Human Zoo".
I think his view of us as fundamentally "simple, tribal animals" is interesting. I no longer think that we are essentially or unavoidably "tribal" however.
Kenan Malik
Donald Cupitt
Tony Benn
Jonathan Porritt
Karen Armstrong
