Steve Patterson: Philosophy Outside of Academia

Steve Patterson is an author and freelance philosopher working outside of traditional academia. He specializes in uncovering foundational errors in “mainstream consensus” and orthodox opinions.

Expect to learn about the research Steve has done throughout his career, what it means to be a philosopher, and why he believes we are in a dark age of philosophy, ideas, and information. You’ll discover how he found that much of what academic institutions have produced over the last century is riddled with errors, why our institutions are corrupt and flawed, and what he is doing to advance the efforts of Independent Philosophy.
