    Admittedly, I'm not influenced by a philosopher any more because they are an atheist / agnostic or a Christian. The best philosophers are those whose philosophy can be accessed by all people. I like Christian philosophy because I am a believer, but I also like Plato's philosophical writings for example. Philosophy is an earnest discipline about understanding how humans relate to what is around them as I would see it. I can enjoy reading people I wholly disagree with.
