Schopenhauer, Stirner

What is the logic behind the four different paths? They don't make any sense to me. Practically all those authors deserve to be studied anyway

Stop reading books in translation.

Holding progressively more obscure and irrelevant philosophers on a pedastal to artificially extend the 'required reading' list of any given topic is a pretty ingenious means of shitposting

I don’t know enough about philosophy to say why they make sense but I vaguely get it. Especially that I’m deeply in the 3rd camp and didn’t even realize it.

1) deleuzian bergsonism?
2) poststructuralism
3) basics of continental school
4) political philosophy

there isn't any. They're just vague notions that a noob has. I had them when i was starting out too.


but to give a few plain counter example groupings

>Plato + aristotle can be put at the beginning of every one of these paths

>deleuze is in two of the fucking camps already

>marx lacan and hegel are Zizek's defining figures

>Lacan, Freud, Keke, Neesha, Ud Wittge, Bergson fall into a class of psych-phls

and so on

>>15156587
imagine reading plato and aristotle to follow up with machiavelli

there's only one path for serious philosophical study:
greeks, gospels and church fathers

>>15156686
Also why the fuck would they put Deleuze and Wittgenstein together, Bataille without Nietzsche, Spinoza without Descartes? This doesn't make any sense, for the simple reason that the history of philosophy is not made of teams.

>Am I missing something important?

Four main paths to studying philosophy:

1) Parmenides + Guenon + Osho + L Ron Hubbard + Unabomber
2) Diogenes + Deleuze + Random ranting street hobo + Nick Land
3) Homer + Traditional Shamanic workings + A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates by Captain Charles Johnson + BAP
4) Bertrand Russell + Elon Musk + Big Yud

Am I missing something important?

yes. philosophers

Based

>>15156587
Huxley, R.A.W., Manly P. Hall, Rudolf Steiner, Blavatsky, Crowley, McKenna, Pagels, Hermes Trismegistus

>>15156587
Wrong. There is one way.
> Plato
> Aristotle
> Plotinus
> Some stoic guy, completely skippable
> Hobbes
> Descartes
> Spinoza
> Locke (skippable)
> Hume
> Kant
> Hegel
> Marx

After that you can read whatever you want. Nietzsche, Deleuze, Zapffe, Kierkegaard whatever...
