i just took an intellectual history type of philosophy class... we reviewed the major thinkers from the pre-socratics to neitzsche. after all that there isn't one philosopher i can point to and think... this guy has it completely right.
however, i did identify with the worldview of william james somewhat.
i find that my ethical considerations are often reminiscent of something immanuel kant would approve of.
