Which philosopher do you take most inspiration from?

[Anonymous No.7131672]

The HNIC of philosophy

I let go of things much easier after reading up on Stoicism so that's probably my biggest philosophical belief. I take the biggest inspiration from Epictetus and Diogenes the cynic and try to imagine them being disapproving when I'm consumed by petty anger at random bullshit.

doesn't always work

I believe that there isn't a single correct political or philosophical ideology. I've lived long enough to know that the best solution is somewhere inbetween the "left" and the "right".

Jean-Luc Nancy I think has done a good job incorporating Heidegger's ontology with a leftist political outlook, the re-reading of Mitsein and prior to Dasein is essential for me. I think Wittgenstein's phil of language can fit into this picture (language games as Nancy's co-appearance and whole ontology tbh) and I also think Derrida's deconstruction of the tradition is politically vital. I'm also more sympathetic than I should be to Freud, Hegel, and the Frankfurt school.

Wrong, because knowing you know nothing means you know something, therefore it should be: "As for me, all I know is that I don't know nothing"

But it's the logical next step. Either you define your own meaning or you stay a nihilist and kill yourself eventually through lack of willpower.

I am a Christian who converted to Christianity in University as a result of studying philosophy.

It was mostly a combination of Plato, Augustine, Plotinus, Boethius and Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky. My ontological beliefs resemble those of C.S. Lewis but I am ethically closer to what you'd call "liberal Christianity."

I think the biggest change in my personal beliefs was probably from reading the Bible itself though, particularly the Gospels and the sayings of Jesus, in terms of the way he gave a purposive interpretation of prophetic law.

I would say "all I know is that I know nothing aside from this one thing."

[Anonymous No.7131963]

Thomas Nagel's essay on absurdity of life, especially one of the final lines especially defined a certain disposition to the world:

"If sub specie aeternitatis there is no
reason to believe that anything matters, then that doesn't matter
either, and we can approach our absurd lives with irony instead of
heroism or despair."

Changed me from being constantly, compulsively desperate to tear down everything I/anyone else said/thoughtto be a better clearer, less authoritarian thinker and person

I'm currently looking for the epitome of comfy, for the purpose of comfy reading. Where do you most end up reading? Do you have a nice setup at home, or are you a city dweller that feels most comfortable on a subway train?
