No, no. Continentals are based, the problem is the french.

He was caught being a weasel in the past, invented stories about Godel, tried to sleep with his friend's wife. No reason to give him the benefit of doubt.

>>18780345
He did legit good work on logic and had some really interesting ideas, there are much worse philosophers like Sartre, Camus, simone de beauvoir, Zizek, Lacan and so on.

Lots of descriptions of scenery, you will learn 1000 new ways of saying "it is raining". Some cringe dialogue and even more cringe monologues. Lots of violence.

Any answer people give is a meme. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

Is the bench press related to cable crossovers? Yes, both are chest exercises, the inventor of the cable crossover probably was inspired by chest exercises like the bench press and being a good presser will probably carry over to your crossover sessions. That being said, you don't need to bench 6 plates before going to crossover, you are probably better off not benching 6 plates before going to crossover since the first exercise will probably leave you exhausted.

LOL. I think that the "you need Hegel to understand Marx" meme is one of the biggest lies people tell. I think it is probably a CIA psyop to stop people from reading Marx and becoming commies by overwhelming them with Hegel.

On my list. OP if you read him and enjoy then pls make a post about it with recommendations for people who want to get into his writtings.

It is weird and sad, if you go to his Wikipedia page you see in the math section that he was actually the first one to prove a bunch of results that were credited to a host of other people.

>he suggested a cardinal arithmetic for infinite numbers, years before any work by Georg Cantor
>In 1880–1881[87] he showed how Boolean algebra could be done via a repeated sufficient single binary operation (logical NOR), anticipating Henry M. Sheffer by 33 years
>In 1881[88] he set out the axiomatization of natural number arithmetic, a few years before Richard Dedekind and Giuseppe Peano. In the same paper Peirce gave, years before Dedekind, the first purely cardinal definition of a finite set in the sense now known as "Dedekind-finite", and implied by the same stroke an important formal definition of an infinite set (Dedekind-infinite), as a set that can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with one of its proper subsets.
>In 1885[89] he distinguished between first-order and second-order quantification.[90][91] In the same paper he set out what can be read as the first (primitive) axiomatic set theory, anticipating Zermelo by about two decades
>In 1886, he saw that Boolean calculations could be carried out via electrical switches,[15] anticipating Claude Shannon by more than 50 years.

Real insane shit. Even tho he clearly did not pursue all those ideas to the degree the other guys did, he clearly deserved partial credit. Also, we know his works were actually kinda popular, so the lack of credit was not an accident.

Disregard this comment, just learned that Russell never gave credit to Peirce when he copied his work. Same with Schröder. He just gave all the credit to Frege for some reason. Those are all the cases I found, maybe he copied even more authors. Copying and not giving credit is a pretty asshole move, fuck this anglo nigger. Also he tried to fuck the wife of Whitehead and got mad when he failed(he did not feel remorse tho).

>>18751998
Russell got redpilled in some matters when he read Peirce. He was still a leddit cuck tho, and specially his political ideas were garbage. He was unironically a very great philosopher, he was bad at understanding ideas different from his own tho.

>>18754674
well, I can't disagree with that

>>18754650
wrong book cuck

>>18754651
prolegomena + supplemental material like online classes

>>18754645
Transcendental Aesthetics has to be the coolest title for a section of a book ever

He was a platonist. But OP probably knows that and is coming with a gotcha. Bring it on OP.

Also, nothing bad about having an 100IQ difference from Leibniz, it just means you are a midwit, not that you are dumb.

>>18747159
Leibniz was a politician and lawyer, most of his scientific and philosophical contributions were done in his free time. He did not have that much free time since he also worked as an engineer and librarian. He also did not have a bunch of money or any of the technological crutches that we use today still he contributed to Mathematics, physics, geology, medicine, biology, embryology, epidemiology, veterinary medicine, paleontology, psychology, engineering, linguistics, philology, sociology, metaphysics, ethics, economics, diplomacy, history, politics, music theory, poetry, logic, theodicy, universal language, universal science.

If you think you are not like him because of "free time" or "depression" you are coping hard. You are not him because there is a 100 point IQ gap dude, simple as.

No, retard. The claim is that there is nothing going on on our minds other than chemical and electric signals transmitted by neurons. This is the physicalist claim.

Kripke uses a simple argument to show this is a false statement.

>>18747068
The mind and the brain are not metaphysically the same. This was demonstrated using simple modal logic by both Kripke and Chalmers. Basically they just used Descartes simple proof and modified it a little bit.
