Extraordinary Popular Delusions of Our Times

Author Daniel B. Martin is an American ex-pat author who currently resides in the Netherlands. He holds a BA in Philosophy from UH Manoa, and an MA in Philosophical Anthropology and Philosophy of Culture from Leiden University. His work intends to inspire deep reflection and evoke critical capacities through engaging in non-academic philosophy. Currently, he most enjoys playing within the unspoken boundaries of the niche genre of literary fiction: philosophical fiction. He blends together the best of existentialism in a platonic forum that lends itself to be skeptical, though self admittedly borderline cynical at times in the hopes that humans return to a recognition of our role as stewards and caretakers of each other & of the potential of life on this increasingly lonely planet. Major Philosophic influences: Heraclitus, Lao Tzu, Diogenes, Plato (& his teacher), Aristotle (mostly for his ethical fruit), Bontekoe, Chakrabarti, Frege, Huizinga, Chouraqui, Sartre, Camus & Nietzsche (in no particular order).Major Literary influences: run from London & Twain to Coetzee, Kundera, Calvino, Camus, Wilde & Bukowski.
