Jordan Peterson, unironically.

>>23088102
I mean yeah if you can count him. There are maybe dumber but who would ever know the retards of the forgotten past

>>23088091
Socrates

>>23088091
Some of the ancient Greek skeptics were stupid enough to walk off cliffs in an effort to prove they could not trust their own senses. If I had to pick just one then Malebranche.

>>23088091
Aquinas

>>23088105
The dumbest philosopher of all time is almost certainly some dead inbred no one has ever heard of, but Jordan Peterson is the dumbest one you have.

>>23088091

>>23088091
No respect for philosophers or peterson in this thread, i see.
Im ashamed of all of you, and your worthless opinons.
Shouldn't have expected less, with such an unintellectual OP.

>>23088091
It's definitely an Anglo. Your pick: Ockham, Locke, Bacon, Berkeley, Mills, Hobbes, or Bentham.

What’s a “Chriscuck”? Someone who lets guys named Chris bone their wife?

>>23088311
>streetshitter hands typed this post

>>23088324
Theologians are their own class of thinkers

English philosophy is always like
>don't have any fun because it's animal behavior
>life is about sucking the fun out of the earth
>having fun is gay but being actually gay is cool
>food is supposed to suck

Goofballs

>>23088091

>>23088311
But wait, then you have the Anglo tradition that develops in the other Anglo countries, and those dudes are somehow even dumber. People like Rorty, Butler, Singer, etc. Yeah, imma go with Richard Rorty.

True, they're even dumber.

that nigga that debunked pancakes

>>23088091
Before I can answer, would you say you're a philosopher OP?

I was thinking Jordan Peterson but then I would be paying him the compliment of calling him a philosopher.

He's a retarded psychfag with a obsession with "postmodernism" and "Marxism".

>>23088557
I thought it was the funniest thing when Zizek asked him to name some postmodernists during the debate and he failed to come up with a single one, but three years later spontaneously tweeted a generic list of their names as if he was responding to the question.

>>23088091
Socrates. He even admits he knows nothing. Fucking retard.

>>23088594
Is there a link to that on YouTube? I would love to see that.

>>23088594
I thought it was funny when peterson made it publicly clear all he'd read of marx was the communist manifesto

>>23088614
It's the sort of thing where there isn't a particularly good quotable moment, it's kind of stretched out across multiple lines. He just doesn't answer the question, because he doesn't know any (since he doesn't know what postmodernism is). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDOSOQLLO-U

By the way, he was actually listing "postmodern neo-marxists" (his own term and not a real thing), but I'm going east on him here by awarding points simply for naming postmodernists.

Sam Harris

>>23088616
Just about anyone who has had any contact with this stuff knows the one you're supposed to read first to get an actual sense of what Marx was about is Das Kapital.

>>23088682
As I said before about Jordan Peterson (>>23088557), I wouldn't pay him the compliment of calling him a philosopher.

>>23088613
Exactly, even toddlers know what a dog is, what an apple is, that candy tastes good, etc. but Socrates didn't even know that.

Thank you all who posted for providing us with a valuable data

>>23088785
Did you mean to post this in that zodiac sign thread?

>>23088091
I'm gonna say Ayn Rand or some other pro free-market, lolbertarian philosopher. Although it's unfair to call them dumb since that entire family of philosophy is a creation of the CIA and they were all in on it.

>>23088384
>definitely the man who saved science from the Logical Positivists

Opinion discarded.

>>23088091
most of these answers are wrong we know it is some woman

>>23088808

exhilarating retardation.

Me probably.

>>23088808
Calling Ayn Rand a philosopher? You might as well include L. Ron Hubbard.

>>23088346
one of the smartest actually, at least as far the 20th/21st century is concerned

Does Godard count ? (Or was he good)

>>23088091
Picrel answers your question

>>23088674
>foucault
>marxist
At least foucault would find the tactic of just making shit up until people believe it interesting.

Probably the Poopoo Man, a character I made up for mock Socratic dialogues who just defended the view that everything is ultimately poopoo (ethically and metaphysically).

>>23089966
the poopoo man sounds wise

Diogenes.
The end result of his philosophy was being a hobo and jacking off in public

>>23088091
Schopenhauer.

>>23090041
That's based tho. Your mother's a whore btw.

Why did Memerson act like he was the moderator? Googling shit in his computer and other shit. Terrible performance.

>>23088091
Probably some criminal grifter like Andrew Tate.

>>23088095
Came here to say this. Nietzsche is not even a philosopher. He’s just skilled at rhetoric. His thought is vacuous

>>23090921
Nah.
Nietzsche is a philosopher.
His thought is not vacuous, what are you even talking about??????
The fact that you are an idiot that didn't understand him, dosen't mean he's not a philosopher.

Clean it up, Socrates

>>23089918
Yes I agree, Scruton is an overrated hack without original thought

>>23090926
>YoU doN’T unDeRstAnD nEecH
Right on cue lmao

>>23090961
Yes indeed, you dont even understand him.
You are an idiot, who just admitted it right now, and you don't even realize it.
Lol.

How did no one mention Russel. That man is the definition of a pseud.

>>23088091
Descartes was a fucking idiot.

>>23088111
socrates wasnt a philosopher, he was a sophist who used dialetics instead of rhetoric

>>23090938
I read his book on sexual desire and thought it was shit.

"We're going to do a phenomenological analysis because we want to, and because it helps us end in the conclusions we want. No it doesn't actually describe anything real or factually causative; only science can do that. We're just doing it this way because... it makes me feel better!"

Also l o l @ his attack on homos, the only deviants he can't properly attack with his non-interpersonalitive whip: "We can only attain the degree of mutual interpersonal relating when the other is in fact Other; for if the other is the same as we are, then there's no danger, no unknowable in the relating, but merely an expanding of what we are into something that we know is like ourselves."
One could happily use this argument for why only homo love is pure, for only in it do we fully compass the whole of the interaction.

>>23088311
A guy named Bacon can't be wrong. Bacon is the best you can do with pork after ham.

Bertrand Russel

>>23088316
>just a pop psychologist
there is no difference between that and a philosopher UNIRONICALLY

>>23088342
the british were a bunch of co-opted christfags being puppeted by their desertlord masters.
no wonder they had the philosophy of a slave.

>>23088346
that's true tho.
Just look at any religious group.

>>23090041
he's correct though. You are too, you just don't realize it.

>>23088934
But don't most """scientists""" still believe in it? He didn't save shit.

>>23088091
any atheistcuck (bugman) philosopher

>>23090926
He was a classical philologist with delusions of grandeur.

At least Stefan Molymeme constantly refers to himself as a philosopher, he’d be a better fit.
Also Ayn Rand.

>>23088091
Unironically Plato, though most philosophy has branched off from him

>>23093089
>most philosophy has branched off from him
yeah indeed sounds like a very dumb person.

>>23093094
Branching off is either adding onto or disproving. If he was right philosophy would have stopped at him. Many philosophers had a bone to pick with the man’s thoughts

>>23088324
This, Mere Christianity is a joke

None of you have read Nietzsche.

>>23088145
>>23088249
The real answer. Entire volumes going on and on about the minute details of what some guys just proclaimed with no evidence or reasoning centuries ago, or just plainly ripping off Aristotle.

Medieval Christian philosophy has as much merit as MCU Reddit theorists or Game Theory videos about Mario and Sonic.

>>23091168
Turkey bacon is better.

>>23093180
The shitzche fanboy detests the scholastics, who could have guessed. Nietzsche is one of the most retarded philosophers I’ve ever had to the displeasure of reading if you could even call his ramblings philosophy. He simply struts into a room of people playing chess, flips the board and table over, squats down and takes a shit, then smugly acts like he won. Truly only crude midwits and incels could ever associate with his writings. He was inferior to Schopenhauer in every way

>>23093180
nietzche cuck is butthurt, who got filtered by scholastics

>>23093208
I do prefer Schopenhauer over Nietzsche, but Nietzsche is by no means the "dumbest philosopher".
>>23093231
"Nietzche cuck is butthurt!!!", I know the retard who can't even spell Nietzsche correctly isn't calling anyone filtered. Go be meek and mild, practice your Thomistic wisdom.

>>23093208
You need to do a deeper than surface level reading if this is what you gleaned from Nietzsche. He offers coherent criticisms of every philosopher before him and doctrines such as free will and traditional morality. People who really shit everywhere are those Nietzsche inspired, such as all the retarded postmodernists and French intellectuals/existentialists.

>>23088111
nietzsche was a sick incel who died after having sex with a prostitute
socrates was a soldier and a family man

>>23093102
>If he was right philosophy would have stopped at him
dumbest post itt, congratulations

>>23093297
Socrates literally fucked little boys.

>>23093180
medieval philosophers didn't write only about revealed theology, but you'd have to actually read them to know that

>>23093311
not true. but if he did I'd say that he was actually pretty based

>>23093321
I literally said they are either doing that OR ripping of Aristotle. Duns Scotus is the only passable Scholastic, and maybe Ockam. Aquinas is actually retarded.

>>23093258
His criticisms are about the only thing good about him, though they painfully sing of pastors son syndrome. His positive ideas such as subjectivism and master/slave morality is the 19th century equivalent of Andrew Tate.

>>23088346
im confused, how is this dumb. he's not advocating for nonsense. he's saying how this is how a lot of politics works

His "criticism" of Kant is pathetic.

Keep seething with your dysgenic "philosopher" who had abysmal education. He is only good for licking thomist feet

Go jack of to Skinner

>>23088346
The irony of this fool is that he argues entirely within a liberalism framework. It some ways that backfires. Look at the language he uses here. But,it has made him popular with his opponents,have to admit that.

Only a retarded pseud would say any major philosopher is "retarded." Even the ones who have had aspects of their thought debunked have still contributed to the field and most still have at least some relevancy and influence today.
