dr.speak Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 My favorite Philosophers are Plato, Descartes, and Kant. There are times that I would dig into more complex arguments like Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Hegel. For me, Plato has the best ideas when it comes to freethinking like "think more and know thyself". It means subjecting your ideas to examination rather than acting or impulse. Descartes is also known for his "I think therefore I am" quote or the power of logic (rules for the direction of the mind). One cannot just be a freethinker, he/she should be a rationalist. I have a faith in introspection guided by definition, arguments and clarity of thought. Most of the wrong in this world are caused by misusing our mind. confusion, bad definition, and illogicality. Lastly, our mind should be better equipped for the task of thinking not just freethinking. P.S. It's funny how some of us just copy from Wikipedia. It's not freethinking at all. Quote Link to comment
Unwritten Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Children are the best free thinkers in my opinion. Their minds are fresh unpolluted and undiluted and most of all, in their innocence they speak their mind. Adults should be served well to listen to children. Another group are the insane, no politics, psychology, philosophy, religion or any worldly crap... In their simple world their mind is free! Edited June 19, 2016 by Unwritten Quote Link to comment

K0RN - RETIR3D Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Would you consider Stoics as Free Thinkers? Quote Link to comment
neilgayuman Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I like to consider myself as one, since I'm really skeptical about anything that doesn't have any logical reason behind it. Quote Link to comment
