Not the christcuck. Never the christcuck.

this is a classic case of incel vs volcel and as everyone knows
the incel always wins this one

>>22118650
Who is the incel?

>>22118751
Schopenhauer is volcel since he had sex many times and was rich

>>22118757
That’s not right though because Aquinas was also volcel because he had a prostitute come to him and he got a flaming rod to scold her away.

So you can’t call Aquinas a true incel, his family was noble he could have slayed if he wanted yet chose God

Why did Schopenhauer reject scholasticism
I thought this board was high iq

>>22118767
if you even know who schopenhauer and aquinas are you are already two standard deviations above normies

Test

Aquinas is a titanic figure, Schopenhauer is a curiosity at best.

>>22118101

Schopenhauer is literally secular Christianity. He called Christianity “absolute truth but simplified for the masses.”

Pleasure good. Uhm, as long as it's enjoyed in moderation, I guess. Now I'm going to have sex with a dude in my garden. K'gbye!

>>22118764
You could have just said that he was a monk. They're volcel by definition.

>There is little of the true philosophic spirit in Aquinas. He does not, like the Platonic Socrates, set out to follow wherever the argument may lead. He is not engaged in an inquiry, the result of which it is impossible to know in advance. Before he begins to philosophize, he already knows the truth; it is declared in the Catholic faith. If he can find apparently rational arguments for some parts of the faith, so much the better; if he cannot, he need only fall back on revelation. The finding of arguments for a conclusion given in advance is not philosophy, but special pleading. I cannot, therefore, feel that he deserves to be put on a level with the best philosophers either of Greece or of modern times.
Schopenhauer wins by default

>>22118101
Schopenhauer, cause he understood the implications of the PSR better than Aquinas.

>>22119835
PSR was after Aquinas?

>>22119612
Probably the stupidest text I have read in a while. Russell should've just stuck to math.

>>22119612
Bertrand Russell will be forgotten.

>>22118101
Schopenhauer's tragic worldview is more consistent with Christ and the spirit of Christianity than Aquinas' Aristotelian autism.

>>22119612
spot on and unfortunately true of the majority of thinkers of his period

it's been in use since Parmenides' time, though without a name for most of its history.

>>22119612
Lord Russell... I kneel.

>>22119612
Russel is a hack, all philosophy is apologetics especially in the post-Moore era, at least Aquinas actually did a masterful job of expanding upon his foundation

>>22119612
Yes. Philosophy must be the handmaiden of theology because if not, she will be the handmaiden of anything else, including the State and/or globohomo. You see that’s her dirty little secret: she’s a whore. Philosophers serve whoever pays their grant and gives them tenure. There’s no following where the argument may lead. Russell certainly did not follow where the argument may lead. He had an agenda, a globalist agenda mind you. In short, fuck this Jew-oid Anglo.

>>22120523
Very very stupid post. This is why Schopenhauer had a problem with Hegel, he rather believed unpleasant truths than happy lies. Fucking dumb A.I.

>>22118101
Aquinas was fatter than schopenhauer. So it comes down to the age old str vs dex debate.

>>22120696
This post describes (((academic))) philosophy perfectly. It's all sophistry really.

>>22120696
i like the idea but unfortunately, summing up all of philosophy by Bertrand Russel is insane. Academics are cockroaches but thankfully they don't have a monopoly on thought. Or maybe your comment reflects your own narrow reading circle.
Or you're bitter you couldn't get into the PhD program you wanted

Lmaoooooo look at filthy christcuck

Why does Aquinas, the fattest philosopher, not simply eat the other philosophers?

>>22121649
>>22121911
aquinas wasnt fat, that's just how he was depicted years after his death
>>22120696
>Russell certainly did not follow where the argument may lead
yes he did, that's why everyone hates him

22121836
>Lmaoooooo look at filthy christcuck

>>22121911
that's what he did at first but eventually he was taken into cardiac arrest

>>22120696
>christcuck midwit mistakes philosophy with sophistry again
if God is literally Truth amongst other things why would his true servant need to lie and engage in bad faith?

>>22121917
he was known in life as the fattest dominican, in uni he was called "the dumb ox" because he was large

>>22121836
All those people are shit except Nietzsche and Tolstoy. And both rejected him ultimately.

>>22118101
Aquinas built a metaphysics that supported a half-a-millenium long empire. Schopenhauer got mega BTFO'd by Hegel

>>22119612
Yet again Russell BTFOs lit. All the replies are proof.

>>22121953
>"the dumb ox
no, it was because he worked a lot and was silent
