How are Rousseau and Derrida right by each other? This seems a contradiction

>Plato
Because after 2,000 years we have done nothing but gone backwards philosophically.

My favorite philosopher is myself because I'm the only one I know who preaches the amazon female small male master race

Plato, objectively. Because nothing original has come after him. All philosophy that follows Plato is either an attempt to reject him or to develop his positions. There have only ever been three actually philosophers. Heraclitus, Parmenides, and Plato. Non-western thinkers don't count.

>>18168648
That's not Kant, cunt. We've had this a million times already. That is Jacobi. Kant looked like a frog.

"Uh, uh ... but I mean to say Jacobi because Kant was a ugly as fuck and the meme is that the cool philosophers were also hot."

Cry. Cope. Shit and Piss. Cum even.

i get the idea that novelists are in a sense philosophers and do philosophy in their work, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here

Nietzsche
He predicted that the death of the slave system set in place by Abrahamic religions would lead to widespread degeneracy and deprivation

>sucking up to plato this hard
right, because originality necessarily dictates quality. plato is actually really boring. even if he did pave the way for later philosophers, there's much more enjoyment and enlightenment derived from reading, say, heidegger or hegel than there is from him. i want to say that plato fans are worse than most just because of their obsessive attachment with him. he got lucky because of time and predation, that's really, really it

>>18169471
Don't reply to me with such retarded opinions.

Plato is where the shittiness began, and that sophist socrates

This is embarrassing. Face it. In reality there has been no philosophy after Plato. The term itself is a misnomer really, we should call it Platosophy. Everyone has simply give different opinions on Plato. You can seethe all you want about this, but everyone of your fancy German autists is literslly just reacting to Plato. You can't run from him. You can't hide from. The very study you pursue is Platosophy and your childlike anger towards the father of your love would he funny if it weren't so mindbogglingly pathetic.

Platonics spotted. Anon is right in the sense that anyone could have done what Plato did. Now Aristotle is a different story, but Plato was just a mentor. He paved the way.

i'll just say to make you seethe, and i honestly truly believe it anyways: plato ruined philosophy

SHUT THE FUCK UP

I'm pretty well-versed in philosophy but do people really recognize philosophers by face? I'm faceblind and know none of these people by appearance.

he was one of the greatest men that ever lived

lurk more and stop being face blind

Come on really? Well if you arent lying ill let you in on my secret. Whenever I begin my own personal case study on one of these cats I erect a shrine on top of my mini fridge (which is adjacent to mt desk in my pod, so in the middle of the room) such that I'm always sitting before it as a read. Thus. When I pause to contemplate the text, im not staring off into nothing... in staring into the eyes of the author theyself as though they are there with me telling me that im doing a good job.

>>18169381
Plato was completely BTFO by Nietzsche.

Not even philosophically but theologically. Plato's influence on Semitic religions and even shit like Marxism is astonishing. In truth, there is only Plato and Neech and even Neech was basically fumbling outside out the Platonic paradigm

>>18169796
I mean I agree with Neeches but I don't think that it make plato irrevelant for that much

There is a huge misunderstanding with that pic, most people think it is Max Stirner due to a mild resemblance to the drawing of him that Engels made of the young hegelians.
Pic is actual Stirner.

Same for the "Kant" - that's Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi.

>>18168648
It’s John Stuart Mill who should be in a league of his own, he is hideous even for his time. And couple that with the fact that he isn’t even a particularly great thinker, while Schoppy also totally BTFOs him terms of renown for the people he influenced in comparison

Bataille
Artaud
Jason Josephson Storm

St. Augustine (plus Anselm)
For exemplifying the simple fact, credo ut intelligiam. Reason without faith logically concludes with Pyrrhonism (to the point that you die from dehydration or something (why drink?)). I believe the logical conclusion to reason with faith is of some transcendent thing that can bring reason with faith about, and for me that thing is the Christian God.

>Augustine in "Ugly" Tier
>Socrates in "Kind of Hot" Tier

Plato because he solved every problem in philosophy

>>18168648
shit chart. Camus on top. Pic of Beckett and not Stirner. Nietzsche nowhere near the top. No Nicky. No Jean. No Arabic philosophers. Horrible. Just screams zoomer. kys

I like how we still have the same discussions and same points that the Greeks must have had 2500 years ago in Athens. We really haven't changed that much.

Kys, Hegel was, is, and always will be fucking shit

Do Uglytzsches really?

>>18172368
>Hegel was, is, and always will be fucking shit

That painting is not representative of Hegel's looks, since it was made as he was an old, sick man. Young Hegel, on the other hand, was very handsome, almost regal

1. Parfit
2. Late Wittgenstein
3. Stephenson
4. Schopenhauer
5. The Churchlands

>>18172689
I cannot for the life of me understand how someone who enjoys Schopenhauer could tolerate the Churchlands.

>>18168648
Heidegger. He treats philosophy seriously to a degree most don't. Anything else just seems like a system built on unacknowledged anthropomorphized presuppositions.

Camus looked fucking weird, he's not attractive.

>>18172424
We will never know for sure, but he is still objectively the best philosopher.

>>18168648
Out of all of them, only Plato truly mattered.
I personally like Ficino.

In the German scene, Nietzsche and Goethe are fucking based

>>18169796
Unironically, Nietzsche is probably closer to Plato than anyone else in his time

>>18169665

>>18168648
That painting of Plato is actually Leonardo Da Vinci

Come one now, Nietzsche deserves to be higher, no?

Who has the more impressive cranium, Schopenhauer or Kant?

Nietzsche understood the Greeks better than the Greeks did desu

Greeks, stoics and Rand, every other philosopher was just a sexless opium addicted cuck
