Philosophy
Slater was a self-professed conservative who opposed drugs, promiscuity, and love magick. He criticised witches and pagans who indulged in drugs and sex magick. His blunt opinions made him unpopular. Despite his outward appearances/persona, he did not practice what he preached. Slater was known for keeping many lovers outside of his relationship with Buczynski.

Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:
“If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The Greeks, with their truly healthy culture, have once and for all justified philosophy simply by having engaged in it, and having engaged in it more fully than any other people.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
