Frued and Platon.

>Nietzsche had the impressive feat of becoming a professor by the age of 24. However, he was alienated by his peers and forced to retire by the age of 35. Nietzsche also wanted abandon philosophy in favor of gardening, but apparently failed at that as well. It wasn’t until after his death that Nietzche’s work began to be read widely.

>He had one romantic relationship, proposed 3 times and was turned down each time.

>He saw a horse getting whipped and had a mental breakdown in the street, never to write again. Identified as Friedrich Nietzsche, a German living in a nearby rooming house, his landlord was located and the afflicted man was carried back to his room. Although it would take days for Nietzsche's friends and relatives to become aware of his condition, the philosopher's mental prognosis would remain unchanged until his death in 1900, and he would not say or write anything intelligible for the rest of his life!

A real winner!

Next up on our list, /lits/ wet dream, the man who never left his hometown just like you.. it's the one and only Immanuel Kant!

>He never tralled more than 60 miles form his home, his whole entire life.

>He stood less than five feet tall, and his head was disproportionately large for his body. His frame suffered from a slight corkscrew twist, which made his left shoulder droop, his right shoulder curve back, and his head tend to lean to one side.

>His daily walks were so precisely scheduled that his neighbors would know the exact time by seeing him leaving or returning home. HE also died a virgin.

Looks like philosophers aren't that different from you after all!

Next on our list, the based boy himself, faithful Soren Kierkegaard!

>He never worked. He lived and self published off his inheritance from his father.

>He was a hunchback

>He left Denmark only five times, once, on a day trip, to Sweden, and repeatedly to Berlin, where, after an initial sojourn spent attending lectures, he usually holed up in rented rooms and relentlessly wrote.

But a beautiful soul no doubt!

Keep it up, good posts

>He never worked

based

what do you make of all their influence throughout time and to their contemporaries, though?

that is quite technically a tremendous feat, and one that a bitter soul like you can never hope to capture.

while it's certainly interesting to note the personal ironies of these philosophers, and certainly is illuminative from a psychoanalytical perspective---the way in which you are doing so has no goodwill, nuance, intellectual or spiritual merit. i don't even like Kant very much, and Nietzche has been memed into the cringiest of circles, to be sure. BUT....

>your insults are essentially HURR THEY WERENT SEXY! HURR THEY DIDNT FUCK A BUNCH OF BITCHES!!! THEY WEREN'T STARVING ARTISTS!!!!
>WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR PROVEN IMPORTANCE!!! I WANT SEXY PHILOSOPHERS!!!

imho, i prefer poets, playwrights, film directors, and novelists for my philosophy---finding most of these gentlemen a bit turgid and technical to try and write out rubrics for irrational monkey-people like humans---but your critique is ridiculous, and is hipster-for-the-sake-of-hipsterdom to such ironic levels of reddit and tumblr that you should really be ashamed and cease posting here with your brainless provocations and lack of memetic understanding, i.e. if they weren't really good, they wouldn't still be around, they wouldn't have proven to be influential and prescient and relevant across eras.

fuck off.

>BUT THIS IS WHO "THEY REALLY WERE"
lmaoing at you. again, literally tabloid-tier logic.

lol, fag.

And we're back from our commercial break folks! Next in our lineup... the man himself.. René Descartes!

>Descartes never married and only had one child, an illegitimate daughter, with one of the servants in his home. And, until early adulthood, Descartes’s greatest passion was reserved for women with crossed eyes.

>After shutting himself in an oven in 1619, he had three visions, including the basis for his popular phrase "I think, therefore I am".

>He was 5'1", towering above Kant

Well I think your a goofball ol' Rene!

I know but that's how (s)he always stuck out to me because it was such an oddity.

Apparently I'm retarded. Not sure why it sounds so feminine to me.

OP:
>you've probably read their works, but did you know this funny bit of trivia?
This guy:
>HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY BOY NIETZSCHE I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I GRADUATED AT THE TOP OF MY CLASS IN NAVY SEALS IT'S PERFECTLY OK IF I'M A VIRGIN FUCK YOU

Just the fact you chose the word "insult" instead of tidbit or something speaks volumes.
