Taking 'Enlightenment' values and amputating the mystical/spiritual side of philosophy from its development both (1) prevents us from really appreciating the origin and development of philosophy and (2) is just historically and intellectually dishonest.

Plato. Yup, he ruined the west. Before him you had Chad Homeric Greece. But then one day, this lover-of-wisdom nigga decided: Fuck that, we got to inquire into the idea of beauty, the Idea of the good, bla bla bla. Actual lived experience, the struggle that birthed many myths, became divorced from truth. For what? He took truth and threw it into this faggot realm beyond the clouds called world of forms. Heidegger knew this, some postmodernists(deleuze lol) knew this, and Heraclitus would have probably revolted against it too. And if you think Aristotle is better, well you are an autist sorry. Nietzsche and Bergson are cool tho.
