australia has a great philosopher, which is david malet armstrong, and dostoevskij isn't a philosopher at all.

> italy
> bruno

>>15316345
Of course he's a philosopher. Just because he writes fiction doesn't mean it's not philosophy.

>>15316101
he wrote in french, but believing he was french spots you as an absolute pseud

>>15316183
Based Prussia-Pro

philosophy happened in Greece and German only

>>15316309
Erasmus, you moron.

>México
>José Vasconcelos

>>15316356
he is not a non-philosopher because he wrote fiction, of course. point is, there is no philosophy in his writing, just an enormous amount of psychology with some theological hints here and there.

>>15316045
>India
>Philosophy? what's that

>>15316045
Peirce
>Who is the most original and the most versatile intellect that the Americas have so far produced? The answer ‘Charles S Peirce’ is uncontested, because any second would be so far behind as not to be worth nominating. Mathematician, astronomer, chemist, geodesist, surveyor, cartographer, metrologist, spectroscopist, engineer, inventor; psychologist, philologist, lexicographer, historian of science, mathematical economist, lifelong student of medicine; book reviewer, dramatist, actor, short-story writer; phenomenologist, semiotician, logician, rhetorician [and] metaphysician … He was, for a few examples, … the first metrologist to use a wave-length of light as a unit of measure, the inventor of the quincuncial projection of the sphere, the first known conceiver of the design and theory of an electric switching-circuit computer, and the founder of ‘the economy of research’. He is the only system-building philosopher in the Americas who has been both competent and productive in logic, in mathematics, and in a wide range of sciences. If he has had any equals in that respect in the entire history of philosophy, they do not number more than two.
>>15316081
Not even close to Peirce, but still a great philosopher.
>>15316091
No lol. Saintly James was very kind to Peirce. Peirce would have never made it out of the 19th century to today without the social, intellectual, and financial aid and advocacy of James; one of Peirce's only true friends and not his disciple in any way. Also bless Royce.

He was a moralist and a nationalist who unironically believed in a patriotic übermensch. I'm sure we've done much better than that, but I'm not into philosophy.

And he was not even that good of a novelist.
