I want to know of some kind of philosopher who has really sappy, cheesy, naive, morals. Like the opposite of Nietzsche in terms of morals. I want someone who's a total optimist.
>Love everybody equally
>Kindness is most important
shit like that. Anyone fitting this description?

oh and also michele montaigne, although he is more of a counter point to machiavelli i guess

Which is weird seeing that Spinoza was one of Nietzsche's favorites.

I wanna say William James as far as optimism goes. His whole deal, as far as my dumb ass is aware, is that 'doing stuff in the real world is pretty cool, dudes.'

i would be interested to know if there is a philosophy which emphasizes feeling, emotions and kindness in a like OP said a naive but hopelessly optimistic sort.

For basically a mirror image of Nietzsche, you can of course read Plato’s Gorgias.

Op is looking for anarchist hippy philosophy lmao. Read Bakunin.

Mutual Aid: A factor of evolution by Bakunin

It is the ultimate example of what you're talking about. He suggests that instead of competition, love empathy co-operation and mutual aid is the biggest factor of evolution and thus morality.

> Anarchist
Real anarchist philosophy is far from the type of morality OP is thinking of. The Ego and Its Own is a masterpiece.
