Some notes

So far my philosophical lineage draws from twelve traditions

1. Catholic counter-Enlightenment (de Maistre, Donoso Cortes)
2. German Idealism (Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer)
3. post-structuralism and forerunners (Foucault, Nietzsche)
4. phenomenology/existentialism (Husserl, Kierkegaard, Marcel*)
5. pragmatism (James, Dewey, Peirce)
6. depth psychology (Jung, Freud)
7. social psychology (Le Bon, also Freud)
8. sociology of knowledge (Berger, Luckmann)
9. interpretive sociology (Weber, Simmel, Tonnies)
10. Elite Theory (Mosca, Pareto, Michels, Mills, Burnham)
11. cultural history (Annales School)
12. Classic philosophy (Plato, Aristotle, Cicero)


*Marcel never considered himself an existentialist per se, to distance himself from the likes of Sartre
