/lit/ - Literature

Perhaps because the most prominent and important school of philosophical thought today —the only ones who've actually given fundaments for a system of applied ethics to the political system that is prevalent worldwide, and, indisputable, in the Western hemisphere— is neokantian,

Coz he cunt be avoided

Autism.

>>15547824
He is the most important philosopher for law and politics, period. Nietzsche offered a critique but no large scale alternative

Why do people still study Newton?

>>15548939
Don't respond a question with another question you uneducated motherfucker. I'm going to kill you.

Serious confession: I don't have the time, energy or attention span to read Kant or Schopy, and they both got obliterated by my boy NEETzsche anyway, so why bother?

>>15549082
This desu. Philosophers before Nietzsche are artists at best. There are no philosophers after Nietzsche.

>>15547824
Because he's smart.

>>15548939
Nobody studies Newton nowadays except for historians of science and Humanitiesfags who wanna feel /sci/-y by reading old-ass Physics treatises

>>15549020
based. i fucking hate that shit too

Peak pseud.

Has it been seriously refuted? I'm currently reading the KdrV to get started with German philosophy and I'm kind of digging the mega autism, I just wanna know if it's a complete waste of time.

>>15549082
You stop your quest for the truth because you’re lazy

>>15550176
It's not been refuted (just like anything else in philosophy), but it doesn't really bring up anything that had not been previously dealt with by Hume (or Descartes (or Plato (or the Upanishads))).

>>15549201
These are the people calling you a christcuck
Mindless, conscientiousness-lacking, low attention spam faggots who literally can't read

>>15547824
They havent read or understood the eastern philosophers.

>>15550274
Redpill me on the Upanishads, wise anon.

>>15550658
Isn't eastern philosophy just stoicism x100?

>>15549201
kek if you talk about artists that's definitely Nietzsche.

The synthetic a priori judgement simply Kant be refuted.

>>15547824
This image works because the Eva series died and Asuka didn't.

>>15549082
So you can understand real philosophy aka Hegel.

lol

>People don't study calculus
>People don't still use Newton's equations to help calculate spaceflights and orbits

>>15551440
he’s saying no one reads any of newton’s original works, which is true

Just to get to accelerationism.

what should one read previous to Kant?
or can I just dig in?

>>15551708
Descartes and Hume.

>sartre
I get why every other guy is in the image but why him. he's the most braindead out of the "existentialists" and radical freedom is one of the most bullshit ideas I've ever heard. not to mention he was a marxist too.

>>15547824
As a Christian, why should I read any of these people other than getting an idea of how they influenced the modern world?

>>15552111
Because then you won’t want to larp on /lit/

>>15551122
Aristotle's logic and Hume. Ignore gaycartes

>>15552111
Kant's Critiques were the last attempt by a respected academic philosopher at defending Christian theology (or at least the rough sketch of it) before Western philosophy went full retard mode

>>15551712
These are essential but I would add Berkeley too. His epistemic idealism acts as a fine comparitive/contrastive background for transcendental idealism.

>>15552273
you didn’t read them

>>15547824
The fact that he got all those fags seething at him points to his basedness at least. Unironically he was extremely intelligent and even if he is a bit outdated you should read him to actually understand basically all or most philosophy that comes after it

>>15547994
He is right tho, at least on laws

>>15550176
To actually understand the refutations and the models they bring (wether you agree or not) you need to understand him, so no it is not a waste of time if you wish to know philosophy

>>15550274
>Hume
>Descartes
>Plato
He btfo'd all three. Haven't studied indian philosophy yet so i can't say about the upanishads

>>15551708
Plato, aristotle, descartes, hume would be optimal

>>15547824
>no Heidegger
>literally any of these except Nietzsche before Heidegger

>>15550120
Every fucking high school kid studies some of newton's contributions.

>>15553418
Just got that you meant primary sources. Then you are right sorry m8

>>15551122
NO

stoics dont explain how the world works. stoics want you to be uneffected by the world.

the eastern masters say you will be uneffected by the world when you live in harmony.
