Description

In an age of conformity brought on by huge cult-like corporations and ubiquitous social media is there still a road less traveled one might choose to follow? How better to confront the conformity of the 21st century than by consulting history's seven great freethinking philosophers? We live in a time of stereotypical ignorance: "Christians have narrow minds and oppose diversity," "Muslims value blind faith over reason," and "Women have never made any great contributions to philosophy." Seven Great Freethinking Philosophers crushes these, and many other, myths by detailing how seven great minds fought against conformity in their own ages and left us an inheritance of thought, now almost forgotten, fundamental to such things as human dignity, the scientific method, healthy living, and academic and religious freedom. Based upon "Half-Hours With The Free Thinkers," yet with brand new selections on Augustine, Averroes, and Edith Stein this new version of a classic is a must read for all current, or aspiring, freethinkers.

Author Biography:

John C. Wilhelmsson is a professor of philosophy at San Jose State University. As a professor John is known for his thoughtful and independent interpretations and intuitive teaching style. Born and raised in San Jose, California John became interested in having a career in philosophy after reading "Fides et Ratio" (Faith and Reason) by Pope John Paul II. He made Edith Stein the focal point of his research. John was awarded his master's degree in 2007 and his thesis "The Philosophical Contributions of Edith Stein" was named "Outstanding Thesis from the College of Arts and Humanities."
