Nah bro, Phil 101

Aestheticism.

Dedicate your life to enjoying beauty in every form that you can find it on this earth.

>>9091714
/fa/ or effay = cool/fashionable/popular on /fa/

if youre still a teen or young adult nihilism wont be cool, too much of an edgy teenage vibe

Cool thread very introduction to philosophy

>>9091722

Depends on how you present it, if it's cynical nihilism yeah that's angsty dumb shit now matter how old you are. Nihilism is only cool if you embrace it in the "you're responsible and in control of everything in your life, it's the ultimate freedom" sort of way.

>>9091720

Also very /fa/

>>9091728

If you're so knowledgeable of philosophy why not share?

>>9091731

sounds like le grand meme libertarianism :) get on pol and live it up leddit nerd

>he's not

saying that the basis of philosophy where all other philosophers in history build upon is "shit tier" is pretty stupid and shows that he's a faux expert

thats not what that means, thats not what any of that means

re-read heidgger

>im 16 and just read the first 15 pages of neitzeche

>>9091749

Nietzsche.

Most effay philosophy is any eastern.

Epicureanism.

>>9091714
ur mums pussy op u fucken mad man lol

>>9091761
martin heidgger is the more extremist perspective of nietzsche's work..

hegel-heidegger-kant-nietzsche-marx

should all be in youy library if you even want to discuss philosophy even in the most basic terms

the average joe on the street would have read these

>>9091749

Eh, well most of my understanding of it comes from the Radiolab episode concerning it. My understanding is that it was mostly just the rejection of any metaphysical value. And the development of nihilism is in inevitability for society over time.

Or to be a nihilist is it required to be apathetic and cynical and to think that existence is useless and it would actually be better for everything to stop existing?

>>9091792

And I guess if so what Philosophy would be "positive" nihilism? In the way that nothing has intrinsic meaning or value but that's a liberating concept.

You guys are dumb, a philosopher's interpretation of a philosophical concept isn't law. It's just their personal conclusions about the perspective.

N E O T R A D I T I O N A L I S M

german idealism for pure philosophy but apply poststructuralist thought to a marxist version of politics and history

you better be confident and know what youre saying if youre going to namedrop deleuze or badiou, though

dont jump on oop/speculative realism, youll look trendy and like an arts mfa that isnt fully immersed in philosophical concepts

nietzsche is about as cool as the analytic philosophers. read medieval christian mystics or dialectical monists like nicholas of cusa

dont tell people youre reading the greeks/romans unless youre doing it in the original language

basically read things like e-flux and october to understand which theorists are 'cool' -- often the contemporary critical theorists whose names are big but not giant -- go for laclau, ranciere, the italian autonomists, not derrida or zizek

Existentialism
>nihilism is for edgy faggots who have lost le hope in this world

>>9092170

Existentialism is basically the same thing except that your created meaning can be objective meaning which is silly.

>>9092185
No its not. It's giving meaning and finding your own happiness in life, not using someone else's definition of happiness.

>>9092185
wrong.
>>9092191
right

>>9091714
that's not nihilism

lol i like some of ur post fagpig

Idk.if there's a name for this but I adhere to the philosophy that all man made religions and theologies are bullshit and that maybe there is some universal governing power out there, but we are way too small to fucking matter so just do you and don't give a shit. I mean seriously, morals and 'rights' and 'wrongs' don't mean anything - it's all just shit imposed on you by society

following a doctrine is gay as fuck. you, OP, are gay as fuck

All wrong, the whole basis of existentialism is flawed as it states we have free will which isn't true.

You're just a series of reactions to your enviroment. You're not choosing anything you're reacting.

philosophy is inherently fedora-tier

>>9092537
Fuck off philosophy 101 no one wants your shit opinions.

>>9092561

>implying it's not logic

Prove we have free will.

All your electrical impulses in your brain reacted to the situation a certain way due to your life experiences and evolutionary history causing you to reply to my post. No matter how many times the situation is replayed if the setup is exactly the same you'll make the same decision every single time.

How about some ancient philosophers who actually lived their philosophy? Like epicures? Nietzsche was pretty smart too, tho, but if you're trying to apply philosophy, try ancient greek philosophers they're not yet irrelavant and obsolete. Aristip was a little stupid tho

Please.

>>9093213
Somewhere between existentialism and nihilism works for me.

Every single celebrated philosophy, however, through the flowery language, boils down to "deal with it".

why are you projecting

>>9094694

i don't understand your point

absurdism is for proles whose favorite books are the stranger and 1984. its for basic bitches just like H&M or uniqlo, acne or apc.

or even worse romantic existentialism ala murakami and wong kar wai. transgressive edgelords like pigfuck aren't any better either

>"you're responsible and in control of everything in your life, it's the ultimate freedom"
Sounds like existentialism.

A modest, responsibly striving engagement grounded in existentialism and neopragmatism. Post-structuralism can be useful.

what is absurdism

>>9094672
lmao read abolition of man or someshit what good has came out of postmodernism???

tbh Camus is great, but Kafka is where Camus draws all his influence from. If u haven;t read his work in entiritty I rly erge you to
