And that's good. Philosophy is a glorified cope.

>>16898180
It's almost like there's a connection between the two...

>>16898180
BTW, I forgot to include Ireland.

>>16898180
no u

>>16898211
Ireland's the reason half the rest of them went with the Jesuits instead of philosophy.

>>16898272
Elaborate.

>>16898281
The insular church gets cut off from Rome, which also makes it one of the major depositories of early works and teachings. They have to rely on each other for works. But they also diverge from each other significantly: church Latin develops in romance speaking countries, while insular Latin is closer to the original; insular calendars predict different dates for Easter than Romans; Pelagius opposes Augustine's entire view of the trajectory of humanity; Duns Scotius and scholasticism lead to all sorts of other heretical shit.
Most of the age of Empire is also when Rome is trying to solidify some sort of centralised power- it cannot control Ireland as it is too distant and well founded, but it can fight off threats from France and other European powers by soliciting their favour. It sends the inquisition when the continental powers ask for it. It sponsors the Jesuits, the only order to respond only to Rome, giving Portugal and Spain very early religious motivation to convert everyone in South America, Goa, etc., without the kind of hierarchical troubles local bishops caused in Ireland. The model of the Church changed to bring institutional and political power back to Rome, while ignoring Ireland. Ireland continues to have a very off book form of the religion but also develops a very different philosophical tradition.

Nietzsche took Emerson's essays to his deathbed

>>16898503
Yeah but Nietzsche and Emerson only liked one person in the world and that was Emerson. Neither of them would recommend liking Germans or Americans.

>>16898180
We've got Thoreau, but that's besides the point.
OP is right and this isn't a bad thing because as >>16898199 said.
Instead of philosophers, these countries have theologians.

>no philosophy

>>16898537
Obviously that was not a comprehensive list. It was just some examples. Fucking retards, I swear.

>>16898530
Half of these names are literal memes.

>>16898551
But the other half proves me right, no?

Lol

>>16898180
you were saying?

What? Italy is on that map? Doesn't Italy contain Rome, which has been known for a lot of philosophy?

>>16898537
Well OP said zero and eight is not equal to zero.

>>16898613
>Rome
>a lot of philosophy

>ignores scholastic philosophy
>ignores philosophical materialism

>>16898180
you were saying?

>>16898180
Thoreau is the best philosopher, so youre wrong.

>>16898530
Not OP but you just proved his point, none of the names included on this list could be regarded as very big (comparable to Plato, Kant or Foucault) by any stretch of imagination

>>16898643
Baste

>>16898781
>Putnam, Sellars, Rorty are not anywhere near as big as Foucault
That's not true. They're not as publicly popular, but they're significantly more cited in literature.

>>16898781
>Plato, Kant or Foucault
>Foucault
