Give me cool rare philosophers that are good and offer decent perspectives of society(so pretty much any of them). And no im not talking about Foucalt,Deleuze,Rorty, or Lacan/Freud. Im talking about underground philosophers that are unknown to mainly except for the highly academic crowd like Mainlander,Guenon and Sertillanges. I want philosophers that can help one improve their life and have applicable studies in both in real life and theorizing academic papers/real life solutions to issues.

>please help? I've read all the above and the "main" philosophers are cool and all I just find the deeper specified studies cooler

Nikolai Berdyaev
Shestov
Most of the late 19th to early 20th Russian philosophers are hidden gems that are largely ignored by the West. One thing I agree with liberals when they complain about not having enough cybernetic transnigger authors in the philosophy departments is that there should be more variety. I would love if they included Geunon and really any Russian author besides fucking Dostoevsky and Tolstoy and maybe Turgenev for flavor.

There is actually a pretty funny scene in an old Russian book from the 30s (it hasn't been translated into English) where a Frenchman starts lamenting about the genius of Dostoevsky and the magnificence of the Russian soul. It's uncanny how close it is to the way Westerners (especially those cliche "intellectuals" and "skeptics") masturbate over Dostoevsky and can't mention his name without coughing up some Russian cum.

Idk Cioran, Gramsci (? don't see him talked about much), Leopardi (?), Novatore. I think people like Tristan Tazara and Breton are interesting from a philosophical point of view, or at least from the view of aesthetics.

Come on anon, you can't seriously say that Shestov is well known. Lots of big figures cite obscure ones, doesn't mean the latter suddenly become relevant or enter the public eye.
