I general 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 politics-section. I like the political philosophies of Dworkin and Rawls. I have taken an interest in Rousseau and Marx. Although I'm not a Marxist, but I will defend his theories. I think Rousseau is the single most interesting philosopher: he was right on so many accounts but had such totalitarian conclusions. I dismiss the anthropocentric and 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.
