[Anonymous No.]

In Japan, a book called "philosophy girls" was published. I place the illustration of philosophers here.

Cute, thank you for sharing.

any news on this?

[Anonymous No.]

Marx's hair is a bit too short for my tastes in almost all of the illustrations, she certainly needs hair impressive enough to rival Marx's legendary beard (and where's Engels? There ought to be Marx/Engels yuri). And Socrates seems a bit young to be a mentor figure to Plato and Aristoteles, I always imagined those as a family where Socrates is the wise but eccentric and lazy elder sister who never writes books and spends all her time strolling around the town and talking to random strangers, Aristotle is the bright and energetic little sister who is immensely curious and keeps bringing home things like whales and cow carcasses so that he can find out whether whales are different from fish or whether dead cows really produce bees and Plato is the reliable, hard-working middle sister trying her best to keep her sisters' antics in check. I'd have expected Wittgenstein to look crankier, too, and Machiavelli is far too happy to be a scheming mastermind, but I guess that's what she wants you to think.

But that's just nitpicking, in any case this is a splendid compilation. Locke and Diogenes are perfect fits in particular, and the wheel-leviathan illustration for Hobbes is great. Thank you for sharing it.

No, sadly. Last I heard it was "Going to be translated." but nothing ever came from it. Such a shame, it sounded cute with lines like “I think. Therefore, there’s me, K?”

No worthy Leibniz

No worthy Rosseau (WTF Did I watch?)

Best Adam Smith (this one made me smirk)

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817368
That was my first thought too. Where are the glorious Marxfros? Most of them have pigtails, and that's so wrong.

And the Machiavellis aren't nearly douchey-looking enough, though this one comes close.

[Anonymous No.]

Best Karl Marx

[Anonymous No.]

A lot of these really aren't very good (in that they have very little relation to the philosopher they're tying to portray). I think /jp/ could do better; we should make a drawfag thread with this theme.

This was my favorite Freud. He was kind of a creepy fucker, plus she has those eyes that scream "not so secret drug addict".

[Anonymous No.]

No worthy Voltaire
No worthy Pascal
NO WORTHY NIETZCHE (God damm it japs... he was (almost) a crazy man and the best you can pull of is Nazi references?!)

No worthy jeremy Bentham

Best Jhon Stuart Mill

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817745
Well, Nietzche wasn't that much of a nutcase, he began with good intentions and slowly descended to not so much madness as utter disappointment with modern society as a whole. His later works are mostly his (admittedly crazy) attempts to fix where humanity went wrong. His later books were hilariously condescending, though. I'm pretty sure that at one point he explicitly tells his readers that he is not going to provide any argument to support his ideas and that if the reader can't figure out how he arrived at his conclusions then he can get the fuck out of his book. Surprisingly fitting for an ojou-sama.

As an aside, I like this Siddhartha. It's her prior to enlightenment, I assume?

[Anonymous No.]

no worthy Charles Sanders Peirce

Best Jhon Dewey

[Anonymous No.]

Best Ferdinand de Saussure

[Anonymous No.]

> Rosseau (WTF Did I watch?)
He liked being spanked, and thought highly of himself. That's probably the only thing those artists knew about him
Almost as bad as Wittgenstein.

>No worthy Pascal
Not as bad as Roger Bacon or Paracelsus if you ask me.
>>9817665
best Shoppy

All the Sun Tsu are shit.

[Anonymous No.]

>Nietzsche as a nazi

Goddamnit character designer are you even trying to show you've researched the subject?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817849
Rosseau was by far the greatest pedophile. They should have drawn him more like a cute little girl - ready to get raped.

[Anonymous No.]

No worthy Bertrand Russell (The only thing they got from that great man was that he was a womanizer).
No worthy Wittgenstein (meh).
No worthy Husserl.
no worthy Heidegger

Best Karl Popper

[Anonymous No.]

No worthy Thomas Khun

Best Alan Sokal

[Anonymous No.]

Best Levi-Strauss (This was easy... it's a pity the japanese wouldn't learn from his teachings about human anthropology)

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817687
>No worthy Thomas Hobbes
I don't know, this one does a pretty good job at depicting the Leviathan as the necessary evil that is the state instead of some sea monster. I like the cog design.

And it's nice to see Anonymous on /jp/ with such extensive knowledge on philosophy. I barely know half or so of the depicted philosophers, mostly the ancient folk.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817879
Why do you say that? I am unfamiliar with Rousseau in general (besides the basic you are taught about him and Voltaire).

Wouldn't Foucault be the biggest one?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817902
how do you guys know so much about philosophy

[Anonymous No.]

Is there a Derrida? He's my favorite.

[Anonymous No.]

No worthy Jacques Derrida

No worthy Lao-Tze

Best Zhuangzi

[Anonymous No.]

Because a lot of us studied bullshit like philosophy, psychology, or "classics" in uni, therefore rendering us unemployable and securing our path into NEETdom.

[Anonymous No.]

No worthy Socrates? You gotta be kidding me.

[Anonymous No.]

No worthy Tsun-Tzu

Best Mozi

[Anonymous No.]

I think we should use our almost nonexistent NEET money to send a copy of this to some famous philosopher. It should be intereresting.

[Anonymous No.]

I dream of a day when there's a collection of books containing moe illustrations of every historical figure.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817983
The Gentoo guy is my favorite philosopher send it to him

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817968

There is a lot more about him than his death. I know it was dramatic but his teachings about knowledge and his deductive method of knowledge deserve a better representation.

Best Budha

No worthy Nagarjuna

Best Kumarajiva (Oh Japan... sometimes you are Hilarious)

I think the picture of >>9817968 pretty much sums everything up. He drinks up his death potion while being moe without any worries.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9817908
It's been a while since i dealt with philosophy-gibberish - maybe i mixed up Voltaire with Rousseau. I was talking about the one who teached rich little kids about nature and love.
But i guess pretty much every philosopher is either pedophile or asexual (of course some exceptions exists like Sartre).

[Anonymous No.]

>>9818166
Anyone is fine, let's just do it. It would be amusing if it inspired them to write an essay/book on something 2D related, or to simply study 2D culture.

God damn it stop portraying Nietzsche as a nazi when it was his bitch imouto who edited his writings and selectively picked out all the parts that the nazis liked for her husband

Nietzsche himself hated the idea of Naziism because of its group mentality and he hated anti-semitism too

[Anonymous No.]

>>9818430
I'm pretty sure that he not only hated Nazis, but germany as a whole. I remember him writing how Germans have always had something else in mind when the Europe was on the brink of something great. For example, resistance against Napolean, who he claimed was the only man strong enough to unite Europe as a unit.

[Anonymous No.]

I still want to see the Wittgensteins.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9818430
B-But the Nazis said they were the Übermensch!

[Anonymous No.]

>>9818913
If Nazis were Übermensch they wouldn't give half a damn about political power and validation. Nietzsche always preached that such men should do whatever they wanted with no regard to others' wishes, which he thought would nonetheless lead to a better society because noblesse oblige. /jp/ and its shut-ins are far closer to his ideals than Nazis, because the former only care about what they want to care about. Splendid blonde home security guards, as it were.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9818003
632, 1699 and 75 are far better buddhas. In a list filled with so many blonde chicks, buddha is a saving throw for some variety. The more indian-looking girls are a lot better.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9819028

reasons:

> Budha was actually poor and that depiction shows her with less robe.
> It gives an stronger meditation aura than most of the other pictures except the first.
>colors and shading are better than 559

She's so sexy in the picture on the left. Why did she go out of her way to make herself look less attractive?

If I'm not mistaken she is a kogal and part Russian (Japanese) so she is obviously going to be dumb.
