Funniest philosopher?

[Anonymous No.10876461]

Who do you think the *funniest* philosopher is?

My vote is for this guy.

Discuss.

Kierkegaard and Nietzsche induce a hearty chuckle now and then. Plato probably takes the cake though when it comes to jokes and name calling. Every other page someone has a fucking erection.

Schopenhauer having apoplectic fits of rage.

cioran, he gives me the idea of someone who would buy you pizza everyday as a father

[Anonymous No.10876752]

Diogenes

[Anonymous No.10876774]

Cioran is a great pick, I had a lot of fun reading Spinoza as well - the guy was good at making fun of superstitions in a very snide way. Apart from him, if you exclude contemporaries like Negarestani, Land and Masciandaro, I'm going to go with Bataille (obviously) and perhaps Baudrillard - even Barthes, if he's allowed in the category.

Kierkegaard and Nietzsche are givens as well.

I actually genuinely chuckled a couple times when reading Stirner.
Other than that, Plato.

>"My wife gave him some Swiss cheese and rye bread for lunch, which he greatly liked. Thereafter he more or less insisted on eating bread and cheese at all meals, largely ignoring the various dishes that my wife prepared. Wittgenstein declared that it did not much matter to him what he ate, so long as it always remained the same. When a dish that looked especially appetizing was brought to the table, I sometimes exclaimed "Hot Ziggety!" — a slang phrase that I learned as a boy in Kansas. Wittgenstein picked up this expression from me. It was inconceivably droll to hear him exclaim "Hot Ziggety!" when my wife put the bread and cheese before him." -Norman Malcolm, in Ludwig Wittgenstein : A Memoir (1966), p. 85

>“Wittgenstein’s correspondence with Pattison consists almost entirely of ‘nonsense’. In nearly every letter he makes some use of the English adjective ‘bloody’, which, for some reason, he found inexhaustibly funny. He would often begin his letters ‘Dear Old Blood’ and end them ‘Yours bloodily’ or ‘Yours in bloodiness’. Pattisson would send him photographs cut out from magazines, which he called his ‘paintings’, and to which Wittgenstein would respond with exaggeratedly solemn appreciation: ‘I would have known it to be a Pattison immediately without the signature. There is that bloodiness in it which has never before been expressed by the brush.’ In reply, Wittgenstein would send ‘portraits’, photogrphs of distinguished looking middle-aged men, ripped out of newspaper advertisements for self-improvement courses. ‘My latest photo’, he announced, enclosing one such picture. ‘The previous one expressed fatherly kindness only; this one expresses triumph’.”

>"Throughout the correspondence there is a gentle ridicule of the language of the advertiser, the absurdity of the style being invoked simply by using it as though it were the normal way for two friends to write to each other. Sending Wittgenstein a (genuine) photograph of himself, Pattisson writes on the back: 'On the other side is pictured one of our 47/6 suits.' 'Somehow or the other, Wittgenstein writes at the end of one letter, 'one instinctively feels that Two Steeples No. 83 Quality Sock is a real man's sock. It's a sock of taste - dressy, fashionable, comfortable.'"

>A typical Wittgenstein gag was drawing an arrow to the ‘W.C.1’ in a London address on a letter he was going to mail and writing, ‘This doesn’t mean ‘Lavatory.’

>>"Wittgenstein had a childlike fascination with flatulence and often became giddy when, seated around the table, one of the guests would suddenly break wind. While everyone else ignored the sound and made no effort to identify or embarrass the person who had made it, Ludwig sat bouncing his seat with a large grin across his face. "Was it you?" he would ask, nudging one of the guests once the meal had concluded. Disappointed by their reply, he would go around the room nudging each person in turn and asking quietly "was it you? was it you?" with a look on his face which suggested he was fit to burst with laughter"

> We wrote Anti-Oedipus together. As each of us was several, it was quite a crowd

> Theology is very strict on the following point: there are no werewolves.

> It is not the pervert, nor even the autistic person, who escapes psychoanalysis; the whole of psychoanalysis is an immense perversion, a drug, a radical break with reality, starting with the reality of desire; it is a narcissism, a monstrous autism: the
characteristic autism and the intrinsic perversion of the machine of capital. At its most autistic, psychoanalysis is no longer measured against any reality, it no longer opens to any outside, but becomes itself the test of reality and the guarantor of its own test: reality as the lack to which the inside and the outside, departure and arrival, are reduced.
tl;dr psychoanalysts are autists

> Say that it's Oedipus, or you'll get a slap in the face.
