/lit/ - Literature

This comic is made by a redditor. Not making a judgement, just posting a fact.

this is the only one i like

>>14781098
This is infuriating. These are made for people with an ankle-deep knowledge of philosophy, so that when they read the part about Schopenhauer hating women they chuckle to themselves and say "I knew that". It's the same old shit over and over and over again, just do something about Freud and fucking your mother or Nietzsche being an emo and so on. Also, The artwork is terrible.

>>14781127
lmao
>>14781098
Schopenhaur did nothing wrong, and the maker of the comic was obviously pic related
>Wollstonecraft
>wisdom

>>14781098
The last frame in this comic, the moralizing “punchline”, is why leftists can’t meme

jesus did kierkegaard really do that? what a fucking awful self cuck

WTF is this a highly meta and subtle parody???

>>14781163

More philosophers have been against democracy than for.
>feminism
Barely any

Democracy, feminism, ideological "progress" are all the result of the changing whims of the elites. Old guys writing inaccessible books never did a damn thing

>>14781163
Read Plato.

>>14781179
Modern US style democracy is more similar to the Roman republican model though and it was developed specifically by taking into account some of the Greek philosophers objections to Athenean democracy.

>>14781150
I've noticed that in each of his comics, the women are presented as rational, while the men are kooky and dumb. What good is a cartoonist who doesn't even have the balls to name the foid?

>>14781098
Cut away the bottom row and it'd be good.

>>14781163
>(((Progress)))

>>14781163

could have been 3 or 4.

>>14781226
Leftists are verbose, moralizing, tedious... the new church ladies.

Wow, de Beauvoir was such an incredible philosopher

>>14781098
Also what’s with trying to put the Muslim guy in the same group that would find this all so outrageous, shocking and triggering?

Muh democracy

If it was solely for philosophy we would still be living in pre-greek style, with an average lifespan of 30 years, eating each other's shit to identify diseases.

>>14781404
Philosophy is the basis for math.

WTF I love philosophy now

>>14781426
>>14781446
Language is the base for philosophy.
Grunting is the base for language.
Every time I grunt I therefore achieve deeper realms of self realization than any philosopher previously.

>>14781426
Math and Science are Philosophy stripped of it's useless self-fellating parts. This happened over the span of centuries to the point where considering these things synonyms is intellectually dishonest.

>>14781256
damn the Marquis de Sade sure got btfo there, I bet he was so embarrassed to have objectified a woman

>>14781256
>“Liberated” women don’t objectify themselves
>“Oppressed” women do
What do femoid libtards have against reality?

>>14781098
His comics stopped being about making philosophy jokes, to virtue-signalling moralization (the lamest form of philosophy)
Some of his earlier stuff was funny then it became left-cant-meme wall of text strawmen.

kek. based schopenhauer patrolling thots and his property.

>>14781098
Totally unrealistic. Socrates, Kierkegaard, and especially the muslim would call Schopenhauer based.

I found these philosophy/literature comics that are actually reasonably entertaining, maybe you should try reading them instead.

>>14781098
How is schope so consistently based? Where do I go from world as will and representation?

>>14781098
>men talk about things they have done
>women talk about things others have done to them
Is the author subtly redpilled?

>>14781163
Philosophy made science.

His Essays and Aphorisms, obviously.

Also he unironically told us to watch Rick and Morty

>>14781828
People made science by stripping all the worthless stuff from philosophy

>>14781623
That’s against Da fucking rules

>>14781623
This comic strip has given me new purpose. I've always wished for it all to end; to save myself. But now I see, I must save everyone. Do not worry, anons, you shall all know release soon enough.

Feels weird man

>>14781883
Buddy, philosophy departments at places like MiT are still dealing with questions raised by scientists. Fields as diverse as physics and ecology have fundamental issues that can't be resolved by experiment alone.

>>14781883
Funny... people have been saying that for centuries, but then they hit a brick wall or a paradox that they cannot solve. This is where, if you can listen closely, you can hear the gut-busting laughter of a few philosophers born hundreds of years before. But keep on being smug, like all scientists.

>>14781813
Nice catch

>>14781098
Why does he illustrate and write like such a woman? I hate the sanctimonious tone these people have, even when they get things right occasionally. These comics just ooze estrogen.

>>14781098
Based Schopenhauer. I am gonna read him now.

>>14781963
>Fields as diverse as physics and ecology have fundamental issues that can't be resolved by experiment alone.
MASSIVE cope

>>14781964
imagine writing this entire post and accusing other people of being smug lmao

>>14781098
Hypatia, sure, but Mary Shelley? No one cares about her except for Frankenstein...

>>14781098
They really can't meme

>>14781098

Favorite comics when I was 16 yo.

>>14782022
This is widely acknowledged by people who actually work on the cutting edge of those fields. Your state-school undergrad major-rivalry is beneath contempt.

>This is widely acknowledged by people who actually work on the cutting edge of those fields
Name some.

At its best, Existential Comics is pretty funny. There’s only so many times you can do “LOL Camus was a horny womanizer” and “LOL Kierkegaard was super depressed,” though.

It's a webcomic, anon. Do you know what comics are?

>>14781163
Is that even him? The art style seems very different from just a year ago.

>>14781098
Biggest pseud on earth. Admitted that he'd never read any of these philosophers.

>>14781163
The irony is that white dudes are the reason democracy and the idea of human rights are a thing.

>>14783614
Way to ignore his post.
Do you go on social media? It's this comic, in various different forms, repeating literally forever. A few memes or nuggets of information rearranged and reiterated again and again because that's the only reference points they have. It's even worse when it comes to history, my god these people are narrowminded at the extreme. I'm not sure they can comprehend something without parsing it through a few twitter memes and contemporary misrepresentation.

>>14784566
Moral of the story: never be nice because it'll just come back and bite you in the ass.

>>14781098
too many panels and too much text

>>14784734
This is like getting mad at the Arthur fist meme because it took the image out of context of the episode and the series in general

>>14783040
Holy hell, Wollestonecraft has some nice curves. I'd slap her juicy fertile ass.

It could have been one.

religion made philosophy though

>So I am proposing a new principle: The Principle of Science. When first reading a philosophical text, you should read it not as the most compelling argument, but rather as though you were reading a scientific text. The reason for this is simple: scientific texts are taken as fact. Philosophy texts are always presumed to be questionable. When you first encounter Newton's Law that says an object in motion will continue in motion until acted upon, you don't say, "What a load of crap, I threw a meat pie at my cousin Mike just last week, and it stopped on its own accord before it got to him." Obviously, although scientific theories can be overturned, people assume that they are correct, so their only objective becomes trying to understand the theory. However, when Kuhn says that science, like evolution, progresses towards nothing in particular, a lot of people's first reaction is something like: "What a load of shit, science obviously progresses towards the truth", then they spent the rest of the time trying to work out just how wrong Kuhn is. Now, obviously Kuhn's claim is much more controversial than Newton's, and in fact most philosophers don't agree with him, but the point of reading his book shouldn't necessarily be to become a Kuhnian, but rather to understand him. That doesn't mean that you can't critique the ideas afterwards, but understanding the ideas first is much more important than refuting them, and you really shouldn't worry about it too much. In fact, it's often more fruitful to read another philosopher's critique than trying to come up with your own.
pseud

You have to realize the author of those looks like this and has at least one rape allegation waiting for him in order to make sense of them.

Fun fact: this guy's comics are very popular on the r/badphilosophy subreddit, whose moderator literally got arrested for being a sexual predator last year, I think he even groomed children or something

>>14785401
Do you have source? I fucking knew there was something weird about those people! Their self righteous smugness and unbearable worldview just had to hide something disgusting.

Kinda same vibe

>>14785428
The disgusting thing they hide is...they're all pseuds. None of them are more than undergrads in philosophy. Most of them never even got that, and are just 25 year old normies.
Hence all the surface-level "I heard moral relativism is bad, here's someone saying they're a moral relatvisit" posts.

>>14785401
Was that the one locked for the better part of a year because of TERFs?
