According to Ye Olde Link, the philosopher I share most of my views with is:

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC)

The life of virtue is rewarding for the individual and the community.

The essence of a thing does not exist independent of the thing.

There is no completely universal idea of "the good."

There is an individualized ideal form for all living things.

In living in accordance with their true nature, humans will find the most enjoyment out of reasoning.

An investigation of human nature can reveal how humans ought to act.

Humans have a pre-defined purpose.

People can have variations on the best way to exist in order to meet their purpose.

The mean between the extremes of any given characteristic is the ideal.

The rule of the "Golden Mean" is not to be applied mechanically

Aristotle discusses having practical knowledge as being able to have the right means to one's action and the right ends

Wow, that's great. Too bad I find philosophy mildly boring.

Go ahead, condemn me as an uncultured swine. I can take your barbs. Hey look, David and I got one of those funky address-stampers. I stamped it on my forehead so I can be shoved in the mailbox when I get lost. Following breadcrumb trails is such a hazardous pastime.
