John Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers are great places to start. There is Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Tomas Hobbes, and Kant.

It may be hard to find but Duras wrote a nice anthology of mobern Philosophers circa the 1950, and around the same time Rhume wrote a nice dictionary!

expensive Lover of knowledge. I actually have a question for you: are we human beings having a non secular journey, or non secular beings having a human journey? i'm a non secular being, 24-7 who reviews humanity on a daily basis. Humanity is the genuine reason for conflict using inherent weaknesses which incorporates unforgiveness and adverse self-popularity. when I met Jesus who listened to me cry out to allure to close Him, i ought to then settle for some very demanding-ball issues about life. And, i can settle for them joyfully, understanding the single which hung each megastar in the sky and gave one and all a popularity cares a lot more desirable for me than for any and all of them. that provides me inner peace. This peace then can radiate out by using the community the position I stay. If each human being has this kind of journey, then wars will give up and so will a lot more desirable of life's risks. desire you opt to allure to close Him too. His arm isn't shortened that it won't be able to attain out and ward off...you aren't to any extent further going to lose it in case you look unto Him: the author and Finisher of our lives.
