Who here has studied philosophy?

Took as many philosophy courses as I could squeeze in during my science studies in both under-grad and grad school. Read Sartre and Camus in high school. In college studied Aristotle, Plato, Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant, (hated Nietzsche but had to read a chapter or so to pass the class), Machiavelli, Marcus Aurelius, the Dhammapada by the Buddha, many Eastern philosophers that I'm sure no one has heard of, Ayn Rand (if you want to call her a philosopher), St. Augustine, Malthus, Edward O. Wilson (philosophy of science), Thomas Aquinas - the list goes on. I liked the Stoic's best, as well as many of the Hindu and Zen Buddhist thinkers.
