Modern organization of academic labor goes against the apparition of such "rockstars" (the best you have is publicly involved intellectuals like Chomsky, and we probably won't be seeing many of those anymore), and contemporary culture precludes the popular spread of an original contemporary philosophy outside of academia.
Just look at what "philosophers" are trendy on the internet, the best of them are second-rate commentators whose best works are semi-insightful blogs, and that's when they are not straight-up grifters.

I want to go back to philosophers publishing complete philosophical systems. Fuck specialization. Also the whole "philosophy as art" schtick is an abomination (dunno about Foucault, but Deleuze did not work this way, his aim was to produce new coherent concepts and arguments)

I want to go back to theogony desu. The demythification of Ancient Greek thought was a mistake.

>>17399423
Agreed. As a Phil major though it is easy to see that Philosophy in its tradition is utterly dead right now.

Read Brandom and Kimhi. A good order for Brandom is: Articulating Reasons, Tales of the Mighty Dead, Making it Explicit, Between Saying and Doing, and A Spirit of Trust. Kimhi only has the one book, but it's lots of fun.

>Not accidentally creating a super-powerful hypersigil by making an avatar of a anthropomorphic calculus integral in a virtual world that learns to become a master of holographic origami, entering a manic psychosis consisting of an explosion of novel ideas and ever-shifting delusions, a Cambrian explosion of the imagination from which emerged the foundation of a future theory of change and creativity.

Ask me about where art and philosophy meet, as I have lived at such an intersection for a long time.

When did you realize you were schizophrenic?

When I methodologically reverse engineered my perception of the world by exploiting a feedback loop between anticipation and perception to modify my perception and create self-induced hallucinations and perceptual illusions.

Experience fiddling with this shit taught me powerfully how easy it is to delude one's self.
What defines sanity is vigilance against the ever-present temptation of self-deception.

>>17399722
But the sanitation of reason is only a narrowing, and cannot renew thinking life alone. What is required is the power of the imagination to mutate experience from the factuality of what-is towards the hopes of what-may-be.

Isn't the work of Alfred North Whitehead - the philosopher of creativity - one great reference point for an artistic turn in philosophy?

>I don't care about truth I care about posturing
yeah it's cringe.

Brandom is shit and his philosophy is banal

If somebody was alive who was as famous as Hegel in 1830, he would have a badly paid job at the university, two publications that had some recognition, but are mostly met with ignorance, and a few students interested in his stuff. that's it. /lit/ would not know this person. only if after his death that small followership of his collected all his works, split into two highly politicised parties and spread his ideas in various forms and misunderstandings all around from Cuba to Hanoi.

tl;dr: probably yes, perhaps not.
