Dave told me to write the first post for this blog. I did consider going into a ranting analysis of the question of Being in regards to man in the post-modern age of anti-enlightenment values but then I figured that'd be pretentious. And boring. And an introduction made more sense. So here goes!
Hi, I'm Stephen and I am one half of the Russell's Tea Cosy writing team. For those of you who don't know us: myself and Dave are philosophy students at Dundee University. This blog shall be an output on matters philosophical, theological, and with any luck vaguely humorous!
But that's quite vague. What can you expect to see here? Well, for my part I'm very interested in the continental side of philosophy. In my posts you can expect to see me throwing out a lot of rhetorical questions on Being, the existential purpose of humanity, our place in the world in relation to one another, to ourselves, to God, nice light-hearted things like that. From an existential perspective my influences include Kierkegaard, Heidegger, C.S. Lewis, and to some extent Nietszche (more on that in the future). Analytically I take strong influence from William Lane Craig, Alvin Plantinga, and Francis Schaeffer. Theologically I'm a Presbyterian.
That's about it, really. You can probably expect an introduction of sorts from Dave at some point.
