Interesting. What kind of preference survey? – who conducted it and who was surveyed?

About French irrationalist philosophy, I agree. I find it useful and amusing but persist in my preference for rationalism.

French irrationlist philosophy is useful for breaking open topics so that they can be effectively explored before being foreclosed by a rational proposition…so thankyou Mark.

“An image of thought called philosophy has been formed historically and it effectively stops people from thinking.”
― Gilles Deleuze, Dialogues II

“Philosophy, art, and science are not the mental objects of an objectified brain but the three aspects under which the brain becomes subject.”
― Gilles Deleuze
