Why is he by far and away the coolest philosopher? I can't think of any other one that I would want to party with except him.

>Heidegger identifies Socrates as the “purest thinker of the West”, and it is this classification as a “pure thinker” that we are committed to unpacking as it relates to Socrates’ understanding and practice of his dialectic method, his view of “truth,” and his understanding of philosophy (or thinking) as a process of original learning (paideia). Socrates, in his ever-renewed quest for truth, observes Heidegger, is courageously “drawn to what withdraws,” and when this happens to a thinker in the process of authentically thinking, he is drawn into “the enigmatic and herefore mutable nearness of its appeal”, despite being “far away from what withdraws” and even though “the withdrawal may remain as veiled as ever.” This, as we explain constitutes or instantiates for Heidegger the “living context” of thinking, a context facilitating the “draft” of the dynamic counter-striving of lighting and concealing, and Socrates, according to Heidegger, did “nothing else than place himself into this draft, this current, and maintain himself in it,” and this is why, according to Heidegger he was the purest thinker of the West.


>Kiekegaard said ”The knowledge that he knew nothing is not at all the pure, empty nothing one usually takes it to be, but the nothingness of the determinate content of the world as it is. The knowledge of the negativity of all finite content is his wisdom, through which he is drawn into himself, and he expresses this exploration of his own inwardness as his absolute goal, as the beginning of infinite knowledge, yet merely the beginning since this consciousness has nowise been consummated but IS only the negation of everything established in a finite sense”. Also Kierkegaard wrote, “He admittedly freed the single individual from every presupposition, freed him as he himself was free”.
>“Instead of speculatively setting his negativity to rest, he set it far more to rest in the eternal unrest in which he repeated the same process with each single individual. In all this, however, that which makes him into a personality is precisely irony… Naturally this [Socrates’ claim of knowing nothing] conceals a polemic and dismays anyone who has found his repose in one or another finite relation to the divine”.

What about Kant?

>>17778158
His pupils include The Philosopher in Plato and an extremely cool mercenary in Xenophon. He spent his time making limp-wristed college professor types annoyed and didn't bother to write shit.

>>17778355
He actually wrote a book of fables, but it's been lost now.

>>17778863
Pretty sure it's a play on a line from the hit 60s tv show "Hogan's Heroes". A comedy set in a WW2 POW camp. The most famous line from the show being "Nothing, I know nothing" by one of the bafoonish German guards.
