WHO IS ISAAC BLAKEMORE?
I’m Isaac Blakemore, a Christian philosopher and cognitive scientist working between the US and London (you can follow me @isaacblakemore on Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube). I am a husband and father, athlete and scholar. Together with my wife and kids we enjoy traveling, eating, reading books, and working out. In another life (my early 20s to be exact) I played professional soccer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Now, I am an elite marathoner and professional runner.
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 and many others.
I believe that Christian theology can and should take interest in all areas of study and life.
