I generally dislike [[continental philosophy]] and am generally more interested in [[analytic philosophy]]. Since my interest in philosophy mainly concerns [[political philosophy]], my interests are reflected in the [[user:c_mon/Politics|politics]]-section. My position is somewhere between [[left-libertarianism]], [[political liberalism]] and [[Analytic Marxism]]. I dismiss the [[anthropocentrism|anthropocentric]] and [[cosmopolitanism|nationalist assumptions]] of contemporary philosophy.

On the important metaphysical issues ([[God]], [[creation]] etc.) I prefer to remain [[agnostic]], which is the only defensible philosophical position.

Philosopher's I love to read:
* [[J.S. Mill]] - the greatest defender of liberty and equality.
* [[John Rawls]] & [[Ronald Dworkin]] - very bright liberal icons
* [[Philippe van Parijs]] - his real-libertarian defense of a UBI still fascinates me. Great writer as well.

Philosophers I love to hate:
* [[J.J. Rousseau]] - so right on many accounts, but so totalitarian in his conclusion
* [[Karl Marx]] - so wrong on many accounts, but introduced some fascinating ideas
* [[Baruch Spinoza]] - "first" liberal philosopher, who wanted freedom for himself, but not for the rest of us
* [[Robert Nozick]] - great writer, great mind, ''bad'' conclusions
