Dōgen, Bataille, and Kierkegaard are all you need. Oh, and maybe Nietzsche, too.

Still better than the generic Hegel, Kant, Spinoza garbage that is constantly shilled.

#1 me
see you in 5000 years Plato's got nothing on me. no i won't provide proof

>ranking philosophers
please turn 18 first

>>20963638
People put Kant on every list because he is one of the most important and influential philosophers of all time, guenon fag puts those literally whos on his list because he is a larping autist. Kant himself debunks every person on that list.

>>20963680
Kant never refuted anyone, his entire philosophy is a garbled mashup consisting on the one hand of errors, and trivial observations on the other, which no one who claims to like him is ever capable of coherently defending when challenged. He is the ultimate philosopher for those who can't think clearly for themselves. Kant is a step down from Aristotle in intellectual clarity.

>>20963703
people on this board have not even got to the point where kant was when he lived, so if you don't name names, you always surprise them with basically kantian arguments. It's one thing to embrace the greeks from an educated position but it's quite another to actually be stuck mentally there without even a comprehension of the problems Kant was grappling with. This is what happens when you get into philosophy based on charts and mostly based on identity instead of genuine autismal fervor.

Freud and Jung are not philosophers, they thought that they were doing empirical science (though they were actually just making shit up)

>>20963641
hey pneumatik. Is the pharmacist still out for covid in your village?

The following are objectively shit tier:

>the ancient Greeks
Barely conscious, infantile babble of bronze/iron age pseudo-mystics who get confused by ambiguities in their own native language. There were some rare smart guys in ancient Greece, i.e. mathematicians like Euclid or Archimedes. Philosophically however ancient Greek was trash.

>the so called "analytic philosophers"
A cesspool of midwits larping as mathfags while lacking the required intelligence. They're endlessly wasting their time playing futile definition games with naturally ambiguous words from natural language while lacking the reflection to realize the futility of their endeavour. Not a single insight has been gained by them. Have been eternally BTFO by Wittgenstein's criticism of language games.

>French existentialists and postmodernists
Soulless automata larping as poets. Behind their pseudo-eloquent and intentionally opaque wordings is hiding pure emptiness. Reducing their word salad to the actual content results in void banalities. They could be easily replaced by a text generating AI.

>religious philosophers
Continuing the tradition of ancient Greek mysticism these dimwits held back intellectual progress with dogmatism. However, the modern atheist philosophers are similarly moronic, for they pride themselves with the low hanging fruit of refuting obvious religious fallacies - something any child can do.

Derrida bent me over a barrel and raped me and I can't even prove it

>>20966122
um that happens to be me lol
that list happens to be okay but I wouldn't have nietzsche nor myself on it. i'd probably add something spasticated like husserl, kant, or leibniz to it
>>20966155

>>20963713
>people on this board have not even got to the point where kant was when he lived
What point? What problems?

>>20965474
>10. That anon who made up the thought experiment about free will and trannies
Qrd?

>>20966179
>hi, have you red pic rel or anything else by the author?
I have not. But basically, the balance is between what you know and what you don't know. It's not about pushing epistemology or anti-epistemology, it's a balance.

>>20966159
>I'm not crazy!

Why are /lit/ niggers so obsessed with philosophy? Nine times out of ten, its all you dimwit fucks ever talk about.

>>20966265
if you try to talk about a fiction book that isn't blood meridian or moby dick or anything not on the /lit/ top 100 then chances are there will only be like two anons online who have read it, while the philosophical canon is much smaller and better defined so that pretty much everyone can at least get the basics of what you're talking about even if they've never read any philosophy. there are just too many good fiction books in relation to good philosophy books.

>>20966159
>rape
He's supposed to rape your enemies, not you. You unleash that Jew upon your enemies.

I'm just going to leave this here

>Professional philosophers exhibited substantial framing effects and order effects, and were no less subject to such effects than was a comparison group of non-philosopher academic participants.
