He is definitely a pessimist, but a kind and pleasurable one. We have found a lot of material from and about him, especially the Guardian in the UK have published many articles. There is also an excerpt from his seminal work "Thinking, Fast and Slow". * **[Mathew Stewart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Stewart_(philosopher%29)** is an American philosopher, turned Business consultant, turned confrontational author.
