Who is the final boss of philosophy? Or if not *the* final boss,

>>8066644
The final boss implies that the works of the man you propose as the 'boss' must be overcome in one's life mission so I agree. Schopenhauer is a fine distillation of the sentiment that you must grow out of if you wish to do well in life.

Probably Plato, since he's basically the accumulation of everything weak and evil

Max Stirner is the final boss for me in the sense that my life mission is to dig up his smug corpse from his grave in Berlin, place a fedora on his head and take a picture along with a timestamp for /lit/

Schopenhauer is literally a weak man's Freddy

Nietzsche is giving me headaches at the moment.

It might just be a translation, but he seems to write like a madman; or at least, someone who is eccentric/deranged.

It should have been a surprise to no one that he actually went off the deep-end; yet what he writes is coherent, and is making me think about the uncomfortable things that only a few other philosophers have managed.

It's almost like he lost his mind for the last 11 years of his life.

It is reasonable, it doesn't mean that one must go past reason in order to live a good life.

Idiot.

shit I just looked him up again and there's a fucking Buzzfeed listicle on the CCRU

You're looking at philosophy entirely the wrong way if you're expecting a "final boss".

The memes aside, he's irrefutable.

>>8066735

No, you're looking at philosophy entirely the wrong way.

Go back to your self-help books.

>>8066738

The memes exist for a reason.

That argument he gives in the Youtube video about torturing the guy to discover the location of the baby locked alone in a car under the baking sun is retard.

Why?

Because "Hard cases make for bad law."

So much of modern bullshit philosophy could be swept away if people only remembered the abounding wisdom to be found in idioms.

>>8066755
He said torture sometimes can be moral. He didn't say to make it law. Your misreading is your criticism. wew

>>8066727
Fucking hell. Buzzfeed is basically instructional cancer in that it takes ideas, tows them throw a belt of shit and throws them into the public for mass display

I'm personally not a fan of Land, but some of his ideas are really penetrating and should be appraised and studied more, and Buzzfeed doing this to the CCRU is just fucking him up

Probably all cultural relativism

Once you can start thinking on things as true or false you are free of the chains again

>mfw people think freedom means having this pussified view of the world where things can be wrong or good depending of who see them

>mfw they don't see the chains of modernity slaving them into the void

>Implying the two circumstances still aren't related

Max Stirner is one of the least important and least interesting philosophers of the 19th century. (I mean he certainly had some influence, but it's of the sort that is of interest primarily to the intellectual historian.)

How and why did he become a meme on /lit/?

>>8066747
What the fuck are you even talking about. Thinking there is a final boss is indicitive of a self help reader mentality.

Alright you philistine, who do you think is the most important/interesting then?

>>8067080
>How and why did he become a meme on /lit/?

Because his philosophy is 4chans foundational superego attitude

>>8067088

Still posting here, Deepak?

Stick to selling snake oil.

>>8067090
Of the 19th century?

It's not going to be that strange or revelatory, but:
Fichte
Hegel
Bolzano
Marx
Nietzsche
Husserl
Brentano
Frege
Kierkegaard
Hermann Cohen
Schlegel
Dilthey

etc

>>8067107

Trying to exclude Stirner this hard must mean he hit home somewhere.

>>8067117
name one person on that list who he is more interesting or influential than

>>8067121

Kierkegaard and Marx.

>>8067127
Well, certainly not Marx.

>>8067127
>>8067135
and certainly not Kierkegaard

Marx is one of the 'shooting stars' that Schopenhauer talked about.

Anything he said was only relevant to a very brief and specific period of time. Various vested interests have aspired to keep his dated ideology going beyond the Industrial Revolution.

Props for mentioning Bolzano and Brentano. I'd also add Ernst Mach.

You're right. So 'uninteresting' that your beloved Marx spent page after page shitting himself about the influence would have; thus trying to pre-emptively refute him.

I'm not sure why you think you've said anything of significance.

I mean, Wittgenstein had a weird obsession with Otto Weininger, but that doesn't mean Weininger is of any interest whatsoever.

All further things you say have been invalidated through sheer retardation.

We were talking about who is more interesting, not who has more influence.

Obama has had more influence on the world than Kierkegaard/etc. Doesn't make him more interesting.

After starting The Ego and Its Own, I'm seriously beginning to doubt whether Nietzsche ever had an original thought in his life.
