Meet Isaac Blakemore
Isaac Blakemore is a philosopher, athlete, and father of 3.
I began my journey in the world of design with a degree in Interior Design from UCLA. This formal education laid the groundwork for my expertise, blending the principles of art, architecture, and human psychology. I continuously update my knowledge with the latest trends and techniques.
I believe in a collaborative approach, where your preferences, lifestyle, and personality are the guiding forces. I make sure that each space is not only beautiful and functional but also a true reflection of you.
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 3 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.
