You don't 'personally subscribe' to philosophies. Philosophy isn't something that should change your outlook on life or how you live it. You experience your own life and don't attempt to rely on a single person to do so. Philosophy is very interesting and fascinating to read, research, and discuss, but to me it isn't something that should change how you live life.

sorry, this thread is for reactionary fedoras only

>>6039181
why would you study philosophy if not to change behaviour

>>6039188
>why would you study philosophy if not to change behaviour
Because it's stimulating and interesting.

>>6039181
Everyone's got some kind of belief they think is most correct to them though.

>>6039188
Because it's mentally stimulating and interesting.

Wikipediaism

Materialist. Marxist

>>6039181
Stating that philosophy shouldn't dictate your life as an universal truth is dictating how people should live according to your philosophy.

>>6039194
you're mentally retarded

>>6039210
why are so many weebs Marxists? is it because they know nothing of real life?

>>6039181
sorry, but you're an idiot. one of the most basic questions of philosophy is "how should one live?".

>>6039249
You don't seem to know what Marxism is friend

I personally subscribe to The Beatles' philosophy: "All you need is love."

bro, do you even eleventh thesis?

taoism

>>6039158
Liberalism. It's the view that philosophy is so trivial that one "personally subscribes" to it.

>>6039267
>I personally subscribe to The Beatles' philosophy: "All you need is love."
One hippy , how surprising.

>>6039470
This, and Zen Buddhism, though I guess that's not so much a philosophy as it is "a way of liberation."

>>6039489
this tbh
if you wanted to be more specific I'd be a hedonist though

>>6039267
"All you need is love," said by rich famous popular talented people. Sure, that's all you need when everything else is successful in your life. Love is the only thing that you need to worry about at that point.

>>6039158
Existentialism.

>subscribing
>to a philosophy

Weeeeewooooooo haha call the fuckin nerdalert

Philosophy isn't a magazin and if you have one or two words u can throw out to people to summarize your whole outlook on life then you maybe should sit down and think for yourself before deciding what you think is the coolest most infallible trendy flimflam

Although personally I fucking hate Marxism, It's less of a Marxist thing and more of a 4chan thing, /pol/ has plenty of weebs whining about the decline of manliness and patriotism in society while posting reaction faces from Japanese cartoons about little girls. It's quite hilarious.

>>6039588
what are your beliefs, are you an idealist?

trollism

Gnosticism. may seem edgy but it makes life easier as a whole

Christian hedonism

Calvinism

>>6039158
Catholicism

>>6039658
how on earth can gnosticism have a practical effect on your life?

>>6039664
so... christianity?

>>6039740
Well I suppose its more of a mixture between Gnosticism and Solipsism but..
- As a whole I am a person that wastes a lot of energy thinking about and trying to change the world around him, at the expense of himself. But the message of Gnosticism is that the world is a huge error in itself and it cannot be saved. But if you work on yourself and detach from material things, you can overcome it. That gives me peace somewhat
- If other people are illusions than this is good. You stop caring about their opinions, or their judgements, and live a more stress free life

Empiricism.

>>6039759
sounds like bullshit

>>6039759
other ppl are real in gnosticism, you bloody sociopath

it's impossible to describe what I believe. maybe something like there will always be another door, or another room over, or another dim half-remembered horizon, just out of reach. but don't despair! the rooms you progress through are so strange and beautiful that the journey is well worthwhile, especially because it seems to never end--the enjoyment is prolonged forever!

And at the end, of course, all things are returned to that which they love best.

that I believe

>>6039818
Says who? What if not all people have the divine spark, and most are there only as extensions of the world? It would certainly explain why most people are such unpleasant idiots

>>6039158
all of them.

>>6039181
see >>6039199

In this case, your personal philosophy would be: being a fucking casual.

>>6039158
I guess I'd fall into the analytic school which has left me believing that nothing truly matters (I don't know if that would make me a nihilist or just amoral). However, most of my beliefs prior to that 'revelation' are much the same.

I'm a vegan fag, anti-utilitarian, and anti-natalist, even though all three of those sort of require a greater philosophical truth behind them to be consistent. I guess I'm more just waiting to see if I come across that hypothetical greater truth, but I sort of doubt it's there.

>>6039759
>As a whole I am a person that wastes a lot of energy thinking about and trying to change the world around him, at the expense of himself.
Can you illustrate ?

>>6039158
>What philosophies do you personally subscribe to?
To the latest one I read about. Really, I keep changing my mind as I discover new theses.

I focus on the themes of the most recurring thoughts I have, and attempt to apply a reductionist mentality to them to further attempt to find out why I find them so obsessively engaging.

Well that's glorifying it.
Really, I'm just trying to find a satisfying reason for why I like what I like.

>>6039181
pretty much this, not that anyone here actually reads philosophy.

>>6040002
>not that anyone here actually reads philosophy.
Yes, because just reading other people's philosophies and interpretations of them somehow validate people's comprehension of philosophy.

Ontology - abstract nominalism, physical monism
Epistemology - foundherentism
Free will - indeterminism without free will
Aesthetics - subjective
Ethics: deontology in everyday life with emphasis on empathy, but consequentialism when shit gets tough
Meta-ethics: anti-realism, internally motivated, relativism
God: weak atheism
Time: growing block
Consciousness: eliminative materialism, rejection of epiphenomenalism
Politics: economically centrist, socially permissive

>>6039249
I am pretty sure if you go on /a/, you'd get the regular /pol/ ideologies along with Imperial Japan did nuttin wrong.

>>6040136
>weak atheism
>next to eliminative materialism and other shit
How can it be weak you faggot? It should be strong.

>>6040160
My certainty regarding philosophy of mind isn't very high, I just think eliminative materialism is the best bet we have. I see some conceptions of God as logically but not naturally possible, the mormon idea for example sees Elohim as a physical being, the Greeks and Romans saw their gods as very physical, I guess I'm saying the furthest I could stretch myself on the issue is some sort of doctor manhattan or lovecraftian type being. I honestly should call myself a strong atheist yeah, I'd put the chance of God existing as abysmally low but still non zero.

>>6040136
>Politics: economically centrist, socially permissive
his this cut economy-social possible without contradiction ?

>>6040324
I'm sorry, what?

>>6039158

That boy's knee is about to blow as soon as he puts pressure on it.

Just general fatalist stoicism I guess, ascetism interests me but I do not practice it fully.

I don't really know for sure, I mean, I haven't developed my personal philosophical thought (which is pretty much how you "subscribe" to a certain philosophy) but I feel close to some kind of post-structuralist take on Cosmoteandrism, viewed through the object-oriented philosophy of some schools of Speculative Realism

>>6040460
good god you're greasy

>>6040553
Really, I'm trying to understand what you said. Why am I greasy?

>>6040564
I wasn't the one that said that.

>>6040568
Fair enough then. Sorry m8

>>6039181
>but to me it isn't something that should
Yeah okay, this is where I stop reading. Great for you, you have specific convictions, why moralise?

>>6039181
>Philosophy isn't something that should change your outlook on life or how you live it.
That's stupid.
You would have to be pretty arrogant or lazy not to at least question your way of thinking and living when good arguments for particular, modernly relevant philosophies are put forth to you.

Maybe it shouldn't directly, immediately make you change your outlook on life, but it should encourage you to question, discuss, and perhaps interpret differently.

>>6039570
>and so would everyone else in this thread
you are acting like that's not obvious anon, why are you so young?

>>6039759
thanks for this dude, this is interesting, you have earned your spot as a character in one of my stories

too many assholes, too many dumbasses, nothing's worth it type of deal.

I guess maybe Taoism? I do just go with the flow of things. Try not to worry too much.
