Immanuel Kant, a German PHILOSOPHER, was the greatest intellectual of human history. How does that make you /sci/ fags feel?

right.

Anyway, I like Kant. I'm getting the feeling that you've already been trolled, and this thread is a continuation of how trolled you've been.

Kant really is the central figure in modern philosophy. Yet I nevertheless find his greatest contribution to reasoned discourse was troll bait at Randists.

>implying Plato wasn't ridiculous.

God King philosopher? I mean, really? LOL.

Nicomachean Ethics serves as the basis for human morality and how human rationale can, above all, achieve goodness. It is the treatise which Cicero bases his essay, De Amicitia, on and it is also highly reputable in old Christian Philosophy/Theology. In fact, Aquinas -- a reputed scholar of Christian thought -- quoted Aristotle and utilized his words to enforce the truth of God.

Socrates died too soon/early, and Plato was too overboard. Furthermore, Plato contradicted himself several times. Diogenes called Plato out on his bullshit from time to time, too. Aristotle was, and still is, the complete authority on Greek Philosophy.

>> No.2519026

I've not read too much but I think Kant's metaphysical models of morality especially his categorical imperative lack the practicality of Hume's empirical model, or Mill's utilitarian model. On that alone I'm not convinced he wasn't simply too out there for a lot of his work to be a bit too much reliant on reason alone in the model of Aristotle, which much of our modern knowledge moves away from. Although I do like his account of free will. The most convincing one i've ever heard.

Here's a quote from a philosopher who actually matters...

"Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness." -Karl Marx

Perpetuating a stereotype is nothing to be proud of. And what about the men who are driven by emotion? Love, jealousy, and in your case, bitterness.
