Probably one of the better ones

>>7972536
Of those only Austin strikes me as 'quietist,' Diogenes and Rorty are super moralfag and Witty probably thought he was some sort of Christ figure

>I have assumed that the goal, enlightenment, exists. I have had to search and it is the search itself which has been choking me and keeping me out of my natural state. There is no such thing as spiritual or psychological enlightenment because there is no such thing as spirit or psyche. I have been a damn fool all my life, searching for something which does not exist. My search is at an end.

Are you seriously this stupid? Do you know what Quietism is? Schopenhauer's view of philosophy is Quietist.

>>7973556
How so?

>>7973564
Quietism is the notion that Philosophy is therapuetic. Schopenhauer's rational denial of the Will to escape from suffering is a prime example of such an outlook. Schopenhauer's is much more interesting than modern Quietism though as he was influenced by the form of Quietism espoused by Christian Mysticism and Eastern philosphy. The human being is still fallen in Schopenhauer's philosophy, birth is necessarily a tragedy. Through our intellectual faculties we develop an objective view of the world that enables distance and a modicum of peace. Quietism does not mean 'not talking'.

just saw your pic but how the fuck is camus a quietist. not gonna bother reading

>>7973614
nice summary my dude
how is wittgenstein a quietist though? i thought most of his work had to do with logic/language

Cure for quietism:

Ramsey: "Philosophy must be of some use and we must take it seriously; it must clear our thoughts and so our actions. Or else it is a disposition we have to check, and an inquiry to see that this is so; i.e. the chief proposition of philosophy is that philosophy is nonsense. And again we must then take seriously that it is nonsense, and not pretend, as Wittgenstein does, that it is important nonsense!"
+
Hume's Treatise 1.4.7
+
some good straight up philosophy, like Frege's Foundations of Arithmetic or Parfit's Reasons and Persons.

Wittgenstein himself was utterly consumed with philosophical problems his whole life. I agree he saw himself as a sort of sage that was always trying to transcend or dissolve them, but he himself was just utterly and completely obsessed with trivia and his weird puratinism makes him the opposite of quietist in my book.

Austin is more in line with what I would consider quietist, although I don't think he's very insightful. A 'real' quietist would be some of the less moralfaggy Hellenistic philosophers, like Pyrrho.

>>7980980
he 'fucked' his friends to be honest

>>7980980
i dont think quietism means actually shutting up, otherwise we wouldnt know the quietist's works. quietism is just the striving for silence and peace, which was w's obsession.

the only way a true quietist can be known is by the account of others, like pyrrho. and that doesnt even give a reliable picture.
