>Advancing

>>10572531
Whenever continentals can't do or explain something they just try to wish it away with obfuscatory word games.
Made no advancements in over a century of thought? Advancement isn't real.
Cause people great harm with stupid psychoanalytics? The patients were wrong.
Can't reconcile their bullshit with science? Science is wrong, it isn't real.
And so on. Imagine being so pathetic that you have to chnage your game every time you are challenged, rather than facing a challenge and coming to a new conclusion based on evidence.

It's not real, sorry I mean The Real, unless it agrees with you, right?

>>10572522
Continental philosophy is just so boring. Learning about the philosophical implications of relativity theory on persistence through time just stimulates the playful aspect of my intellect in a way that reading about the dialectic of historical materialism and how we can be commies without starving everyone just can't compete with

boohoo

>>10572522
Continentals managed to influence aspects outside of the philosophy per se. I wonder what the analytics managed to do outside of its own bubble.

The sad thing is that Continentals have had the greatest influence on broader society. It's basically all shit, but they speak it in the classrooms and young adults lap that shit up.

>tfw 1 out of 10 members of your philosophy department in the UK and US is a token continental philosopher who is there just so that the department recognizes the existence of continental philosophy and he still gets more undergrad pussy than all the other 9 analytic members combined

The "I fuck more people than you" argument is the strongest possible philosophical argument.

Degeneracy and time wasting are not virtues.

>>10572882
Degeneracy doesn't real if you're an analyticuck

t. Low T analytic christcuck

>>10572885
You don't know what analytic philosophy is.
>>10572882
You can't waste time if you're a continental, because your time never had worth to begin with.

>>10572891
Define degeneracy rigorously

>>10572770
Sadly, pic related is far more accurate.

>>10572894
Not necessary, as it is not a statement of logic. But thanks for showing us how little you know about the analytic linguistics tradition.

>>10572901
How can you know what degeneracy is if you can't come to a definition of it logically?

>>10572914
You said to defin it rigorously, not logically. You should probably find out how definitions work before you try to shitpost.

>>10572919
Or I could not.
After all, I'm not wrong. You can't give a logical definition of degeneracy so it might as well not exist.

>>10572898
>accurate
Only according to your analytical bias buddy

Wew lads. I didn't know posting about "degeneracy" could get me so many (you)s, so quickly. I'm going to do this more often now.

>polymath knowledge

Name ONE contemporary philosopher with proven knowledge on science or math. You literally can't

>>10572955
Saul Kripke.
>>10572930
That's not how analytic philosophy works, brainlet.

science is actually for gays tho

>>10572962
So is saying "tho".

>>10572970
I don't recall saying I wasn't gay

>>10572976
Then go suck dick, faggot. Stop flaunting yourself around. Stupid wigger.

>>10572990
Gottem

>>10572990
Fucking bigot piece of shit.

Disgusting.

Analytic philosophy tries so hard to be scientific, but the actual sciences still progress a lot faster.
Philosophy will never be as advanced as actual science. Philosophy is for people that are too stupid and lazy to get into physics or chemistry or whatever.

>>10572522
Analytic philosophers forget that the core part of philosophy is to consider all possibilities not just the ones backed up by science. You prove why a philosophy may be incorrect in the exchange of words not by slamming down facts and assuming they matter in a argument about a hypothetical possibility or a different perspective or even about the logical faults of gods.

Analytical philosophy is good to speak to a scientist about philosophy because it puts in terms they can understand for science is a 2nd language for them but when it comes to speaking to other philosophers its a waste of time.

>>10573013
It's not like the foundation of all computing is analytic philosophy or anything.

>>10573021
That's not what analytic philosophy is. I swear you people have never even met a guy named philosophy department.

>>10573021
>Analytic philosophers forget that the core part of philosophy is to consider all possibilities not just the ones backed up by science.

>>10573031
but the guy that came up with it was not an analytic philosopher.

>>10573089
Gottlob Frege was indeed an analytic philosopher, brainlet.

>>10573094
how did frege come up with computing?

>>10573134
Predicate calculus, dumbo.

>>10573094
He was also a mathematician.

>>10573245
Why? It perfectly represents these obfuscating discussions

>>10573312
You're so desperate to separate logic from philosophy.

All philosophy is shit and has no bearing on the world outside of the academy. If you have read philosophy, you have wasted your time

>>10572522
>progress in philosophy

>>10572930
Degeneracy: the change of a process towards a completely obsolete, futile or animalistic methodology - or even the complete eradication of the process.

>>10573452
It's called wisdom. Though I am almost certain that op doesn't have anything to measure it with, or for.

>>10573452
The relativist retreat of the continental begins.

>>10573445
Wrong.

What's the difference?

>>10573693
asdf

>>10572522
Is this distinction even relevant anymore?

>>10572522
>>10572770
In my humble opinion, the OP image is funny because it rings true, while the other image, despite obviously having more work put into it, is so ridiculous in its implications that it's impossible to take seriously. Implying that analytics are less educated that continentals when they currently dominate most academic philosophy, for instance, is just absurd.

I don't understand the difference. Are they two approaches to the same philosophical questions, or are they just concerned with different topics?

>>10572544
>Advancement isn't real

Thoughts and idle chatter doesn't mean advance. A society is built by stupid people, thus the Fascist penchant for the "uncultured". Esoteric and abstract knowledge isn't appliable, epistemology is a meme, for progress an idiot who toils is better than a genius who shirks societal responsibilities and instead sticks to his own research.

>>10572898

>>10572564
Continental philosophy relies on words to exemplify their own meanings, and that's misusing the tool of language itself to cause non-naturally occurring recursion.

When only analytic philosophy has produced a single set of working methods for a machine intelligence parallel to humans will continental motivations finally die out?

>>10575312
please don't use ecelebs for this, this is too far

>>10575343
>Anon you're the cutest illusion I like
>Living without intent is to forsake our gifts

This sounds like continental philosophy more so than analytic.

>>10573445
>>10573693
More, you've poisoned your mind with fictitious dribble if you use it for anything other than as mental exercise/clarity.

>>10575359

>>10572522
>Why do continental philosophers fail to make any advancements
They've found the eternal truth, it seems. Analytically speaking, any variation and change is advancement depending on the goal.

>>10572996
why the scatophobia?

>>10575366
Much continental thought is roughly right but cannot be proved with its own tools, and is only grounded through analytic work.

>>10576734
It's just that goals in/of nature are of a specific set and therefor only a band of variation/change is possible to be defined as advancement.

At my university, the token continental philosopher is just a guy with abyss-level bags under his eyes who got chinked and now spends his days murmuring about Deleuze in seminars to disinterested 'students'.

>>10572522
Are there any philosophers that are both Continental and Analytic?
