Democritus got it right
What went so wrong after 400BC ?
Christopher Ward
They all got it right but the last two.

There are no fucking writings of Democritus that survived user. Besides, he was pre-socratic and not famous.
>They all got it right but the last two.
Kant was much more reasonable in his articulation of the nature of reality and metaphysics than probably most of all the other guys, except for Wittgenstein. You have no idea what you're talking about.

user, wasn't that supposed to be Voltaire?

Most of it seems very contrived and seems more about debating the meaning of words than actual ideas.
Gavin Powell
whoever did this doesn't know jackshit about philosophy
even for entry level "teach me through memes" perspective, it gets so many things wrong
Jaxon Turner
That's all part of the layers I placed in my post.

Atom concept in acient times was different from our times. But he was right in fact, we are a bunch of many little pieces.

Anthony Baker
>Atom concept in acient times was different from our times
Of course, but it was fundamentally the same idea, the idea that everything is made of tiny little invisible pieces.
Angel Hughes
Camus was just a pseud, I agree.
Zachary Bailey
He was a great writer though
Should've just stuck to prose instead of sperging out about Sisyphus
Alexander Robinson
everything fucking sucks REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Jose Fisher
Yes, that's all it's ever been: semantics.
Asher Walker
>Most of it seems very contrived and seems more about debating the meaning of words than actual ideas.
I understand where you're coming from, but you obviously know nothing about what you're talking about regarding these guys.
>Schop
I think that if every robot would become a philosopher, they would become Schopenhauer.
>Yes, that's all it's ever been: semantics.
Metaphysical discussion is NOT a debate over the meaning of words. It DOES have content.

Metaphysical debate is a bunch of autists trying to impose their headcanon on others.
Jackson Cooper
clean ur balls user
Jordan Collins
>Metaphysical debate is a bunch of autists trying to impose their headcanon on others.
Granted. But they are not discussions on semantics PERIOD
Angel Cox
About as meaningful as discussing semantics, though.
Hudson Carter
I dont think he has ever come up with a single original point, not to mention when he quotes nietzsche or jung he misinterprets them.
Jaxon Brown
you guys realise that literally all analytic philosophy presupposes this
Kayden Moore
>I dont think he has ever come up with a single original point, not to mention when he quotes nietzsche or jung he misinterprets them.
Who the fuck is jung?
Adrian Russell
>you guys realise that literally all analytic philosophy presupposes this
Yes.
Henry Gutierrez
>Who the fuck is jung?
the second most famous psychologist/psychiatrist of all time, right after freud
Dylan Wood
All philosophy is for pretentious basic bitches
Owen Ross
>All philosophy is for pretentious basic bitches
No it's not. People who are into philosophy are the least basic sort of people you can find.
William Phillips
>I understand where you're coming from, but you obviously know nothing about what you're talking about regarding these guys.
Forgive me I implied the philosophy normally discussed on Jow Forums is the same as the big names like OPs picture
Kevin Gray
philosophy attracts the dumbest of people, especially now that the internet exists.
Hudson Parker
I've spent time reading and thinking about it, especially during the time of the enlightenment, where you got Hume, Kant, Voltaire, and Rousseau.
It's interesting, and if you aren't into the thinking part into it, you should at least read the history of philosophy; it's really entertaining.
Zachary Mitchell
What do you even know about philosophy, honestly?
>philosophy attracts the dumbest of people
No, that would be high school kids who believe they know anything about science by reading Neil deGrasse Tyson once. God, what a pseud.
Henry Carter
You have to be stupid to actually believe this.
What philosophy does, though, is attract the most 'annoying' of people, and not due to the Internet, but due to its' inherent nature.
It attracts people with high verbal intelligence but middling or subpar spatial, numerical and mnemonic intelligence, ie neuro-jews of eveyr race
Aaron Gomez
only continental philosophy though
Gabriel Nelson
>It attracts people with high verbal intelligence but middling or subpar spatial, numerical and mnemonic intelligence
I agree except for the mnemonic part. Philosophers tend to have really, really good memory. I don't know where you got that from.
Alexander Foster
You're just as dumb as the le science nigger for thinking that others think you're smart or interesting because you read philosophy, though.
Philosophy is nothing more than a tool for the boring people of society to feel smart.
Landon Hughes
>You're just as dumb as the le science nigger for thinking that others think you're smart or interesting because you read philosophy, though.
Never once in my life have I boasted about being smart through philosophy, my mate. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
>Philosophy is nothing more than a tool for the boring people of society to feel smart.
You mean pseuds, you fucking retard.
I agree. Continental philosophers are pseud as fuck.
Robert Garcia
>What do you even know about philosophy, honestly?
Not a lot senpai. 99% of what I read is just classical lit. The most philosophical I've ever gotten was probably F. Dost, Candide, Confessions from St.A
Hunter Ward
For fuck's sake dude. You are the biggest fucking goddamned fucking pseud. If you don't know shit about philosophy, why in the fuck do you come here talking shit about things as if you knew anything? You are like a fucking child that enters a fucking college classroom and thinks he is smarter and more knowledgeable than the fucking professor. Fuck you dude.
Samuel Martinez
>Never once in my life have I boasted about being smart through philosophy, my mate. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
you're doing it right now.
>You mean pseuds, you fucking retard
yes, that is who I mean, and it just so happens that most people who read philosophy are pseuds, just like you. The fact that you sperg out because I don't call them pseuds directly and rather describe them only raises my suspicion of you being dumb&boring further.
Hunter Jackson
Hey, if you think it like that, then whatever m8. But the fact still remains that philosophers that I consider to actually understand what the fuck they are talking about don't go out of their ways to go around to people boasting about what they know about Kant or whatever. I mean, who the fuck cares about that kind of shit in the general population? Who the fuck gives a fuck if you know a lot about Kant? Nobody. So I guess that the only fucking people that go out of their ways to boast about seeming smart and "deep" are those fucking guys that fucking read Foucault and Hegel and shit like that, and it's not because some people are pretentious that that should ruin an entire body of knowledge at all.
Carter Morales
Who /idealism/ here?
Cameron Green
>Who /idealism/ here?
Idealism is faulty and may lead to fucking solipsism, but I understand the reason why it is so fucking attractive to believe in. But I still think that Transcendetal Idealism by Kant seems to be the most intelligent way of thinking of metaphysics. I admit though that I got read a lot of Kant before a decisive answer.
Just don't be a rationalist. I don't fucking get why people would ever believe in that metaphysical doctrine.
Kevin Cox
You're confusing me with another user...
Julian Anderson
No, I'm not. Fuck you, you pseud.
Andrew Barnes
I study it a lot, the most universally worthwhile study. All the philosophers who are remembered had valuable contributions, even post-modernists who are shit on relentlessly for some reason. My favorite work is critique of pure reason and I think it was the flagship work for modern period philosophy. He opens the door to logically sound, but still useful works without too many presuppositions. I agree most with Nietzsche in philosophy of life and the ought. He was a prophet of the era we live in.
Adam Garcia
Yeah, fucking Kant's work is amazing. He really was a fucking genius of his time, fellow philosophy-inclined bro.
Kayden Barnes
It should have ended with a picture of Zizek and "everything is in da trash caaan. *sniff*"

Bentley Watson
Phylosophy is boring.
Benjamin Clark
Why would I do that? The need to prove you(me) wrong is a spook.
Owen Cruz
Are you making these threads? There seems to be a lot of philosophy threads. Just take it to /lit/.
