I usually find this take popular with those first getting into philosophy and progressively less popular in proportion to the amount of reading done. Please inform me on this "irreversible" damage and why Descartes particularly should be blamed

Berkely's idealism solved everything, including the mind-body problem

I love Berkeley. Reading him is like eating candy.

But I think Kant beats him.

>> No.14638836

>>14638826
Kant never addresses Berkeley's main point, I don't think it's even possible to do so. That's not to say Berkeley proved that there are nothing but ideas and minds but his argument that there is never any reason to assert an additional category seems pretty much air tight to me.

No really, please, I'd love to hear this take substantiated beyond some reactionary mystic bullshit, why is Descartes such a villain, especially in comparison with the rest of history?
