Philosophy and thinking of John Patton Burgess

John Patton Burgess doesn't appear to be a widely recognized figure in philosophy or any well-known field up to my last update in October 2021. It's possible that he could be a more contemporary thinker, a minor figure, or perhaps someone known in specific academic circles or literature not widely covered in general philosophy texts. If you are referring to a specific aspect of his work or a particular context in which he is discussed, I would appreciate more details. This would help me provide a more focused answer regarding his philosophical ideas or contributions. Alternatively, if you are looking for information on another philosopher, please let me know!
