>>15152817
Someone tell me how Bertrand Russell is a cuck he literally cucked TS Eliot.

Kant

>>15152809
More numerous than your contributions, that's for sure.

>>15152817
Russell has no positive contributions, but he does have a few negative ones. Mainly Russell's paradox.

>>15152871
He let his wife be fucked by other men.

>>15152881
Explain one with your own words

>>15152809
UG Krishnamurti. He ended philosophy.

"Anything that is born out of this division in your consciousness is destructive, is violence. It is so because it is trying to protect not this living organism, not life, but the continuity of thought. And through that it can maintain the status quo of your culture, or whatever you want to call it, the society. The problems are neurological. If you give a chance to the body it will handle all those problems. But if you try to solve them on a psychological level or on an ethical level, you are not going to succeed"

>>15152909
You claimed those are not contributions. Schopenhauer is an established thinker. It's up to you to disprove them.

>>15152809
Plátōn (Πλάτων) began and ended philosophy.

>>15152951
>You claimed those are not contributions. Schopenhauer is an established thinker. It's up to you to disprove them.

>>15152951
Schopenhauer took the Stoic/Spinozist determinist mindset, added in a few ideas on transcendental idealism stolen from Kant, and tinged it with pessimism.
He was hardly original in terms of his ideas, and can quite easily be compared to Ecclesiastes as well as the Greek tragedians

>>15152817
His descriptivist theory of names is fairly influential in analytic philosophy, but in the scheme of things it's fairly trivial.

>>15153163
OP said contributions, not original ideas.

>>15152817

>>15153163
fake and gay
no one ever wrote about the Will prior to him

>>15152874
...definitely doesn’t belong in this thread, even if you disagree with him.

>>15152874
I’m not a Kantian by any means but you have to admit he’s one of the most important figures in Western Thought.

>>15153163
There are literally no original ideas in the history of philosophy only the same thing reproposed in different ways or people who are flat out wrong about everything like Russell

>>15154044
I get the why he got such hatred but giving importance on analytical philosophy of science is his achievement. the name "popperian" exists too

>>15153226
influenced /ourautist/ kripke to btfo him forever

>>15152809
Guenon (pbuh) has already taught us that originality is lie created by Hylics. There is only that which is eternal and our many interpretations of it. PBUH

>>15152910
t. doesn't understand the dialectic

>>15153163
There is no such thing as originality in humans, we aren't creators. We are tinkerers. All that we know and can "randomly" connect to make "new" things are pre-existing.

>>15154153
Nīl sub sōle novum

>>15152809
I really wanted to like this guy but I think he's probably the worst philosopher to ever exist. The only notable thing was his aesthetics and even then it's just a worse version of Eastern aesthetics.

>>15152865
>i think that gettier justified job applicant is a bit wacky too
yeah it's analytic autism. I don't know how when they hear it they don't think that it's a complete misuse of logic, it's absurd.

>>15154333
Plebs and excessive superlatives. Typical.

>>15154351
you're the worst poster on this board

>>15154360
thank you, pleb.

>>15154360
No I am

>>15152809
Guenon

>>15154397
Calling him a "philosopher" is already too generous kek

>>15152817
this
fucking brainlet

>>15152946
Not a philosopher

>>15152817
Russell got BTFO so hard he contemplated suicide

>>15152835
he looks so cute with that hat

>>15154187
isn't that supposed to be nihil

>>15154448
No.

>>15155002
Did he was actually seriously affected by this letter? I would think someone as conceited and narcissistic would just read this and go "fuck this guy, he doesn't know what he's talking about" and forget it.

>>15152809
>>15152835
contributed a great deal to aesthetics

>>15152834
I think he was less a philosopher in the sense of someone going out to create their own philosophical path and more in the sense of a good student who ended up being emperor.

>>15155002
"Let us become strangers again, I think it is better."
Ouch

>>15155024
narcissists usually have very frail egos

>>15152817
The most laughable pathetic man in all of philosophy, if he was still alive I'd kick him in the shins and push him down the stairs, the clown.

>>15152809
>implying there ever was a philosopher whose contributions mattered in any way, shape or form

>>15155175
They mattered to philosophy. Read the OP.

>>15153163
What a simp take. Did you just read his wiki article and seethe so much that you vented out on 4chan? Absolutely miserable.

>>15152910
Everyone always ended philosophy. But then someone starts it again.

>>15152881
Please don't comment if your knowledge of philosophical contribution starts and ends with an infographic on Wikipedia.

J.P. Sartre

>>15156013
Unironically this. He was the biggest philosopher of post-WW2 france and has been completely forgotten. Heidegger's metaphysics are better, and Adorno's social critiques are better as well.

>>15152809

>>15152817
His paper on denotation is probably one of the 10 most influential writings in contemporary ontology

>>15153000
why does a person looking a certain way discredit their argument?

>>15152874
Good bait

>>15156042
LOL
love how nobody of the fucktards here knows and much less understands him because he's a non-meme

>>15156042
cannot argue with this

>>15156119
no, it's not Baudrillard

>>15155024
Perhaps, just maybe, he wasn't a narcissist?

>>15152910
He is just recycling standard Buddhist psychology.

>>15156094

physiognomy

>>15156013
hard disagree
his book on the dialectical reason is higly underrated, can't speak for his other works though

>>15152809
The goal of philosophy is surely to answer the fundamental questions of life, to determine wether or not we kill ourselves and if not, how should we go about our lives, to be be happy and prosper. In this regard, i struggle to name a single thinker who has actually contributed to enhancing the quality of life of the average man.

>>15154044
this

>>15154333
his anti-natalist undertones are also influential

>>15152865
Heidegger changed everything. His "contribution" to "philisophy" is however debateble.

>>15155024
Vulnerable narcissists do exist, although there are less numerous than megalomaniacal narcissists.

>>15152946
>just imagine sisyphus happy bro
even as a teenager who was infinitely more enthralled with thrash metal and wrestling I knew this was just a last second cop out

>>15157621
Maybe you should stop watching youtube videos faggot

nietzche

Schopenhauer did contribute to philosophy. Just not in a good way. He's partially responsible for the open promulgation of Buddhist-Gnostic life denialism, with it's insectoid aversion to individualization, desire, and turmoil.

>>15155002
I find it funny that he starts the letter with "Dear Russell" rather than "Dear Lord Russell" which he was probably used to

>>15152809
If he didn't exist there wouldn't be an Evangelion.

>>15156393
You're starawmanning him you cunt. He called Buddha a crackpot. He hated your disgusting life denying religion and what it's done to India

>>15156094

Henry David Thoreau. Built more for picking berries than saying anything worthwhile.

My man was just writing a journal to himself, never even wanted to be a philosopher or contribute to philosophy in general. He became a world famous thinker by accident. Thats pretty cool if you ask me

>>15152809
Shop directly influenced, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Freud.

>>15152835
btfo'd all previous philosophy

literally contributed nothing
