How would Nietzsche have felt about Diogenes, had he met him and shared a spoken language? What about Lao Tzu (assuming he really existed)?

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 12 22:35:55 2012 No.2897305 Nietzsche and Diogenes shared Attic Greek and a profound love of masturbation so I suspect they'd have found plenty of common ground.

There's like one guy who is actually seriously into Diogenes, and a million little teenage idiots who like Diogenes because he was an "irl troll" and "so random" and because shit he did was funny. That's pretty much all of it.

Yeah I agree with anon. Philosophy that attempts to make progress and find answers for problems and truths in say metaphysics or ethics through logical, rational arguments using verifiable evidence.

Not hurr, God is like an eagle and shit and durr there's no meaning so we have to invent one hurr or females are not yet human they are cats.

As Bertie Russel once said, philosophy has two strains, faggot romanticism with a basis on pretentiousness and actual philosophy linked to science and empiricism.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 13 01:15:19 2012 No.2897751 >>2897738 But what if science and empiricism end up with nihilism?

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 13 01:45:06 2012 No.2897831 Why would nihilism be a problem? I might not term it that way or agree to any nihilist, but as the logical positivists would say, attempting to define value or meaning to biological life is silly and pointless.
