I agree with the first sentence. Western and Eastern philosophies are tied together straight from Babylon.

You might be interested in Jan Wacław Machajski who was a Polish anarchist who critiqued marxist and anarchist intellectuals as effectively being inherently elitist.

There's probably also some people who think that philosophy to be utterly unnecessary in the age of science (although I avoid these people so much I can't recite you any of their names)

might get some of what you want from rousseau, nietzsche, the logical positivists, maybe wittgenstein. depends what you mean by philosophy obviously

>>20001719
you sound like a pseud. what philosophers have you even read? maybe bill nye the science guy, neil degrasee tyson and other pop scientists who share your distaste for philosophy might be up your alley

Laruelle, though he's not an anti-intellectual
You're only going to find that particular outlook in eastern phil I think but if you want a synthesis between zen and western philosophy, look into the kyoto school

>I know easterners have things like koans to make you realize the paradoxical nature of reality but I don't know any anti-intellectuals from the west
Heraclitus for this intentionally
Theology about the trinity and christology for this unintentionally

>Theology about the trinity and christology for this unintentionally
This but make sure not to fall for the christianity meme

>>20002316
Theology about the trinity and christology is intentionally paradoxical though

>>20002341
He's right

>>20003008
It's also just neoplatonism with biblical characteristics, i.e. the very sort thing OP is looking to avoid in terms of philosophy.

>>20001719
>A lot of philosophy is just drivel.

YES.

Well, I know an anti-"intellectuals": Olavo de Carvalho denounces the bullshit philosophy has become since Descartes, but especially Kant and Hegel.

I've come to the conclusion that the word "philosophy" is itself meaningless, because it encompasses too many subjects. In one sense philosophy is completely worthless, in another sense it is absolutely valuable. It all depends on the meaning one imputes to the word in the given context. My resolution henceforth is to stop using this word altogether where possible. I extend the same offer to /lit/, which I presume will not be taken up due to the inherent fetishization of certain strings of characters here and elsewhere. This does not imply replacing the term with a mere synonym. It means going without and beyond. Beyond the dichotomies constantly contrived between skepticism, dogmatism, empiricism, rationalism, and so many other nonsense terms. I am not on the side of any philosopher or "philosophy", I am on the side of the Sun, of Light, Beauty, of Pride, of Dogmas and of Apophasis. All metaphysics is absolutely justifiable, this DOES NOT imply universality. The crux of most people's problem.
