I wanna read Cioran, but do I really need to read Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Kant, Nietszche, Heidegger, etccc first?

Not him, but Descartes, Kant, Aristotle, Spinoza, Heidegger, or even Schopenhauer. These are pure philosophers.

Cioran is not a specialist, but an essayist (almost a poet) that deals seriously with philosophical questions, much like Joseph de Maistre or even Nietzsche.

All value judgements come down to 'muh feels'.

If you can get into the feels he starts from he's worth reading very much, but if you want to know 'is this feel true?' you're asking the wrong question.

Feels aren't truth-apt.

>Descartes
He was a great mathematican I've heard. But this man makes me rage so much, seeing his smug face, and there he is... there is in another non-fiction book I'm reading... everytime, that smug Descartes guy comes up with his funny stuff. It makes me greatly iconoclastic.

>> No.9869740

>>9869708
You might disagree, but that I think is the big problem with philosophy. Though it is not that science is fully immune from value judgement either. It is something purely human.

It is one of them, but it is only a problem in so far as philosophy wants it to be not the case.

Philosophy is basically a naive detour from what the sophists had already figured out desu. A few millennia later it ends up in the same place.

Based himself on Cioran as well. Stole his look.
