/thread

>>11257561
Shame Peterson is somewhere between the Rogan and the Harris on that them there iq hyuk

>>11257565
High iq and wisdom have no correlation

Hegel and Nietzsche unironically

Neither Foucault or Derrida were dumb, and I say this as someone who detests both to varying degrees
My vote goes for Peter Singer. I have never heard a single insightful or intelligent or interesting word from his mouth

>>11257547
>*deconstructs your mom*

>>11257556
Even Foucault and Deleuze tore through Marxism.

>>11257561
Foucault was dumb, he only pointed out some obvious historical observations that anyone could make. Like "dude we stopped using corporal punishment and moved onto more social forms of control". Like no shit

>>11257547
Freud

Jordan Peterson

Plantinga
>>11257565

>>11257585

>>11257561
"a tremendously high IQ" as he said, typical Petersonian speech patters that he uses to impress his dumbfuck audience

>>11257739
Peterson is Aristotle/Socrates-tier you fag

>>11257780
Yeah, they're all frauds.

>>11257719
shouldn't you be listening to fall out boy right now?

>>11257808
That's only a guilty pleasure--and even then it's only parts of one album (the same as my relationship with Tool). I'm currently watching AMC's The Terror.

Lol?

Foucault and Derrida are unironically just the tip, you need to trace back those who influenced them to have an answer for you question.
Heidegger and Nietzsche are by far the worst continental philosophy has to offer, two proto-postmodernists who enabled the current state of humanities as a whole.
Just reading "On truth and lies in a nonmoral sense" makes it clear Nietzsche's endgame was late 20th century philosophy, it disgusts me how much praise he gets away with and how he is not put under scrutiny as the likes of Derrida and Deleuze are

>>11259016
>late 20th century philosophy
late french* 20th century philosophy

>>11259016
Neetchan has been attacked since forever, it's just that no one can refute him and everybody who tries starts tripping on himself like Tolstoj who went "Nietzsche is fucking mad!" or that fat dumbass Cherston who went "Nietzsche is really fucking bad also please read Thomas Aquinas". The best critics of Nietzsche are either some Hegelians, Marxists or people who continue in his tradition while criticizing this or that aspect of his thinking.

Steven Pinker

In terms of sheer stupidity probably some semi-pop Anglo philosopher from the recent decades.
In terms of complete disconnection with both reality and ideality, probably Freud.

>>11257556
Ancombe and Avila made me realize that women can write good things. Then I tried reading other women "intellectuals".
Never again.

Derrida and Foucault went at each other more than you could imagine, just fyi

Plato

>>11259273
I'm imagining piss fucking.

>>11258109
have you ignored the developments in Anglo academia the last three and a half decades?

>>11259319
I read Foucault was a sick bastard. This is probably true

>>11257547
>tfw you blindly follow jbp and think you're an independent thinker

>>11257556
Honorary man though

>Foucault and Derrida
what is it with these thinkers, that make brainlets furious?

Unironically?
Yuval Harari, Niall Ferguson, Simon Schama, Bill Bryson, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitches.

They're all skilled in the art of sophistry and buggering the right people.

>>11257780
No Peterson is more like those professional rhetoricians of ancient Greece that used their techniques to sway the plebs

>>11259016
>Heidegger
>worst continental philosophy has to offer
It is actually the opposite.

>>11257547
Thomas Sowell

Kant. Hume perfected philosophy and all philosophers after Hume are just sophists. Kant is the prime charlatan who restored metaphysics without actually restoring it. By fraudulently restoring metaphysics, Kant enabled the enterprise of Philosophy to keep going when it should've been relegated as a dead field after Hume's works.

>>11257547
Any "thinker" who is french or anglo or a woman or unironically a positivist or materialist.

>>11261268
Can you give more details on how Hume is right and Kant is wrong?

>>11257547
Gayatri Spivak

>>11261268
there is a part of me that believes this is the truth but I push it out of sight every day so that I can continue to live in a mystical world

>>11261268
nice try David, go back to the grave

>>11257547

Any of the anti-colonial and post-colonial figures, like Fanon, etc. There are only so many ways you can wrap up 'kill whitey' in a slightly more respectable package.

If we're looking at actual philosophers, then I'd say Sartre or Russel (excluding his mathematical work).

>>11257585
this. it’s outrageous singer is famous

>>11257547
Socrates

Montesquieu

Self-help written by a French arsitocrat

Fuck that guy
