WHO IS ISAAC BLAKEMORE?
I’m Isaac Blakemore, a Christian philosopher and professional runner (you can follow me @isaacblakemore on Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube). Together with my wife and kids I enjoy traveling, eating, reading books, and working out. When I’m not contemplating the deep existential questions of life I am usually busy training for my next marathon or road race.
Academically, my research interests are (broadly speaking) philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, analytical psychology, neuroscience, metaphysics, and philosophical theology. Personally, I draw my influences from the works of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Søren Kierkegaard, Carl Jung, Michael Polanyi, Paul Feyerabend, Thomas Nagel, N.T. Wright, Colin McGinn, Nancy Cartwright, Thomas Sowell, T.F. Torrence, Edward Feser, Johann Georg Hamann and many others.
I believe that Christian theology can and should take interest in all areas of study and life.
