PHILOSOPHER

SIMON J. E. DREW

I’m a philosopher in my heart, a poet by calling, and a musician in my being.

As a philosopher, I’ve been influenced most profoundly by the Stoic tradition, and as such, I try to hold myself to their standard of philosophical inquiry and discourse. Philosophy is the love of wisdom, and as such, it is inherently practical. If philosophy doesn’t lead one toward personal freedom and a more enlightened existence, then it’s not philosophy but sophistry.
