Objectivism

>>11395554
Haha

>>11395900
Yeah those world-changing ideas don't hold a candle to an outdated linguistic paradigm literary critics still grasp onto for whatever reason.

>>11395910
Maybe because it influenced all man made structures?

>>11395740
This. More specifically the concept of “selfishness” being correctly and completely defined for the first time in human history.

>>11395919
Like always, the defenders of Saussure can only bring the vaguest of statements to the table. The man and his work is completely irrelevant to any serious study today.

2nd only to "Fuck, not that much."

>>11395950
It's not irrelevant considering it completely shifted critical thinking and eradicated existentialism from any base

She discerned that the collective harmony of any group of individuals is best achieved when each individual within that group is at harmony with his or her self. i.e. a mental and physical state of non-contradiction. Collective harmony is not achieved outside-in via group planning, it is achieved inside-out starting at the building block of society: the rationally self-interested individual.

What’s the insight to be gained from signifier and signified? That the words we use to designate objects is arbitrary seems obvious.

>>11396178
It wasn't until that came around

>the philosophy where bankrupting someone on the stock market is somehow more moral than robbing them at gunpoint
>the philosophy that naively assumes that a society full of cannibals won't eat each other

Yeah, how about no.
