You do realize that all major worthwhile philosophers of the 21st century reference, liberally, from the entire history of philosophy? The contemporary tendency, which thank god is dying out, to regard history as obsolete and not worthwhile is absolutely retarded, and it has created a generation of fragmented kuhnians that believe in cultural incommensurability and it's absolutely embarrassing. Those contemporary philosophers who only breed on contemporary literature regressively degenerate so far into obscure technical arguments that they end up exploring positions nobody has ever seriously held. Further their mongoloid efforts end up presupposing what they are trying to negate and they lack any coherent overview, which is more direly than ever fucking needed. The historical update is more important than ever as more and more contemporary resources are relocated to accommodate the growing flow of information. The linguistic division of labour is skeewered because "monkey want more chocolate and ipad, science talk so good yum yum, dis happiness". It's a de-rooting. It's a cultural and individual fragmentation. It is overly fetishising reflection, thought, and progress. And it's the cause of a major host of actual illnesses. Please go and re-read Kierkegaard and grasp the paradox of the direction of thought and the redundancy of insight, or insights insight into insight as causing the opposite of its intention. The further that is delved into abstract issues, the less active capability is distributed towards practical understanding. Phronesis and shit. Sorry if it is too outdated for you. The lack of practical understanding becomes a mental loitering. Reflection upon responsibility instead of taking it results in a population of children. This is why any seriously interesting contemporary philosophy is written within the area of child development and pedagogy. It's easier to say how it is we fuck up kids, because it need not directly insult the adults you're dealing with.

Have you ever read modern academic philosophy? It's so unrelated to older works that it's basically a different field entirely.

I'm literally pointing out that contemporary ways of pixelating history and the lack of rooted overview is part of the cause in the spike of trannies and faggots. And I am indeed claiming that this is objectively fucking bad. Either you haven't read Lacan or you're an idiot. The view is inspired by Putnam, Peirce, Carnap, Dilthey, Weil, Chisholm, Heidegger, Kierkegaard and a minor bit of Freud as the orgasm is a constant reward mechanism which will give a nauseating hue to anything you're ever gonna do. The closest thing you'll find to anti-realism is pragmatic realism from necessary agnosticism. Schematic constructionism is not constructivism. Assuming there is a construction taking place on the part of the subject does not entail that such doesn't seek to map on to real structures, and hence can fail.
