Plato and St. Augustine are the greatest philosophers to ever live.

Plato is pretty much responsible for ERRthing in Spiritualistic Philosophy, while St. Augustine is the main influence for post-modern phenomenology and hermeneutics.

Thanks, but I'll stick with Epicurus, Nietzsche and Schopenhauer

The Stoics were the best philosophers around and everyone with at least a moderate level of intelligence knows so.

How are you sticking with Epicurus?

>> No.1538202

The most fascinating thing about ancient philosophers is how much authority they seemed to think they had

Like, Aristotle's physics for example. I guess it makes sense since hes the go to guy for a priori reasoning, but still, how much of a tool do you have to be to walk around and going THIS IS LIKE THIS AND THIS IS LIKE THAT. DURP THIS IS HOW CAUSALITY WORKS. I KNOW BECAUSE IM FUCKING ARISTOTLE

Ancient medicine was the worst, apparently, ANYone could just start performing experiments and cutting people open, and then writing about it.

I dunno, philosophy is great, but as far as ancient philosophers go, most of these guys sound like fucking assholes and would probably be completely intolerable to hang out with IRL. Except for maybe Diogenes, I think it would be fun to hang with him while he went around trolling people, plus hes kind to animals which puts him in my good books

Everyone was fucking Aristotle - he was a total manwhore.

Nice dissection of the authority issue though - although I think that Epicurus may have been a fun guy to hang out with. He was the Tyler Durden of his day.

Actually, he was probably more like a mix of Michael Moore and Naomi Klein, which is pretty fucking horrible when you think of it.

I'll fuck off now.
