i've really only read an excerpt from one of his works for an intro to philosophy course, but i've come to really dislike the course itself, so i project these negative feelings onto the works that i've been introduced to through the course. I was actually just trying to project an edgy, college freshman, pseudo-intellectual, contrarian personality with that post.
I would actually love recommendations on what works by Nozick and any other similar philosophers I should read, philosophy is a really interesting topic to me, i've just found that this sort of hand-holding approach my uni takes to a philosophy education isn't really my thing, I prefer to self-educate and extract ideas from my reading on my own, rather than have it all handed to me

His ideas about property gave colonialists an excuse to steal land from the natives. He was a child of his times, because if you don't dick around with liberalism you can be honest that might is right.

Also, his idea that you must add your own work to land if it's going to be property is proto-Soviet. Because according to the Soviet theory of labor, value is added only by adding work. The more work, the more value.

Despicable person! May his memory be spread by the four winds.

You can't judge an idea on the assholes who abused it in generations prior to the author's death.

Locke's contribution to the world was the first philosopher to bring the idea of inalienable human rights and the dignity of the individual over the might of the state. He is the FATHER of liberalism. The colonialists had been stealing land from the natives for a century before Locke was even born, get ur history right.

He was also an exceptionally modest man with an incredibly small opinion of himself: he saw his work as just sweeping up after the true genius of his age, something like an intellectual man-servant. Pretty much the only greater bro in the history of modern philosophy is David Hume. You won't find two more gentle, kind-hearted philosophers.

This dude.

Philosophy should be an art that makes dark concepts clearer, not the other way around.

His concept of spirit, and romanticism in general, I like. It just seems he tried to make it appear as crap, as an infiltrate agent would do with any potential theory, for the status quo.

I don't mention Zizek when I post about how the symbolic, imaginary and real manifests itself in society, but it's something I have derived from reading him, I also fail to mention him when I post about the sublime object of ideology.

It's on purpose, because only the ones who have read him will have a slight idea of what I'm talking about.

But to post his actual ideas in a Zizek thread seems preposterous to me, since people ought to read his books, not gain superficial knowledge from lurking /lit/

Yes. Yes, certainly. This is why we have DIALECTIC. Those pesky contradictions are not a problem anymore! The point I am getting at is - both dialectic and psychoanalysis are huge piles of steaming horse manure and how a 'philosopher' whose whole work is built upon those gets any amount of serious academic attention is indeed a great question of our age

That is an extremely important "Hegelian" concept too. Thanks for reminding it to me. But I think Dialectic was rather a Platonic concept, which it rooted deeply in the concept of antagonistic forces of the universe struggling with each other, and paying justice and retribution eternally?

I think this is the right analysis, except instead of a range of Mount Stupids, I think it's more likely that each Mount Stupid recursively contains itself and all others, and you never know which magnitude of stupid you are, ascending, as it were.

Ok, he believed that nignogs are inferior. But from that didn't colonization follow. In that regard, he was anti-Locke.

Just because we acknowledge systems of thought as perspectives does not mean that they bear no meaning, and that you can never assert anything. You merely accept that any assertion or claim of truth is partly constructed by yourself.

Anyone who did know shit wouldn't post in a thread about 'worst philosophers'. Especially since it's only going to be about either (a) just listing the names of philosophers you dislike with no content or argument whatsoever and (b) shitting on impenetrable postmodern French philosophers for the same reasons that people always shit on them, and I really don't understand why anyone at all would want to get involved with either of those conversations.

Tons of people influenced Derrida. Many of them were not bullshitters.

Anyway, Husserl also influenced Ryle and Sellars, to my knowledge, and I read somewhere that Bertrand Russell also liked the Logical Investigations. Husserl, especially in his early years, almost seems like an analytic at heart.

oh shit i didn't know you were an expert on the subject, i guess your opinion is infallible

derrida and deleuze might not be all that great, but by saying humans can comprehend truth without thinking about language you've already destroyed any possible credibility you might have gotten from that one intro to philosophy class you took that one time. Stop talking about postmodernism if you don't understand it and just want to throw around buzzwords.

>someone watched a few "lectures" (intellectual masturbations) and acquired esoteric "knowledge" of Locke

Historical reductionism does not negate the existence of liberalism.

Natural rights is a very old European concept tackled by many intellectuals and Locke's particular theory has been of obvious influence.

>Philosophy should be an art that makes dark concepts clearer, not the other way around.
yeah, the relationships in language are never arbitrary, let's embody simplifications and take language just as it is because that's clear and non-pretentious. clearly a critical analysis of language itself is not necessary.
