That funny Russian guy with the crazy beard and the cute accent. I read about him on BuzzFeed and he's like my fav.

>>12996
I'm totally biased against Kant because of utilitarianism. What are some reasons to read?

Confucius. His philosophy influenced China for centuries, and provided a foundation for the development of the Ancient Chinese education system.

>>12865
You already posted him.

Jesus. There's a reason autists like Nietzsche and Russell take him on as the final boss

Fucking bullshit desu senpai

>>21980
i think the crux of this statement is less 'arguing' more 'being'

lead by example or whatev

>>22067
Basically. When it comes to philosophy, you can only read so much. Eventually you have to get out in the world and actually practice it.

Parmenides is irrefutable.

>>21887
This stoic

People think he was an edgelord because of all that
>muh Übermensch vs. Untermensch
>muh Sklavenmoral
>muh Wille zur Macht

>>22968
Popper is p certified dank

Camus because he was an athletic hottie ;)

David Duke

jaden smith

Epicurus.

I wanna say that Marcus Aurelius and Seneca of Stoicism were also good, as well as Nietzsche.

Diogenes the Cynic was good for a laugh.

>>23465
>Untermensch
He literally never uses this term. Also, there's nothing edgy about the will to power, unless you think achievment is edgy.

Antony Zyrmpas

Ayn Rand ;∆]

>>23636
I know. It's just that when Nietzsche is brought up people on 4chan quite often call his philosophies edgy.

There should be a board for philosophy by itself IMO.

>>23792
Probably because his most popular statement among the masses is "God is Dead".

And 4chan in general loves doing things like
>"Black and Red? EDGY"
>"People shouldn't be mindlessly killed? MORALFAG"
>"Women should have equal rights? *TIPS FEDORA*"

tl;dr it's a joke nerd

What good is being a good man if I can't implement my will upon the state and perpetuate my rulership for generations to come?
The only way to peace is absolute law.

The desire for comfort/relief of pain is a wall i cannot scale i am afraid.

i dont think anyone can. We are biologically constructed that way

>>24213
But must we not try and emulate Dao in that we must forever create, cast aside and create anew to reach closer to the ultimate goal?

>>24382
let's not get too esoteric, but the realm of ascendance cannot be ascribed to material existence in full

>>24435
There is no other meaningfully discernable realm and bitch, I will rule this one!
Because if not for me, someone less suitable might go a do it and thereby throw the realm into disarray and make the people ungovernable until he is usurped by the next dolt.

I am worried about this place already. I feel like anyone interested in discussing philosophy needs a course dedicated just to reading analytic philosophy and learning how to think and argue. Logic isn't enough.

>>12865
The man to give the least fucks in the history of mankind was the greatest philosopher, whoever it was.

Jaden Smith

>>12865
I would honestly say Socrates. It is because of his quote about meeting the Oracle of Delphi. When the Oracle said he was the wisest of all the Greeks, because unlike all the Greeks, he knew that he knew nothing.
