>>8439926

Schopenhauer. Endless striving/willing/etc.

>>8439931

Kant (you borrowed a Nietzsche quotation).

>>8439932

Stirner.

>>8439877

Kierkegaard.

>>8439789

If it's not Schopenhauer, it sounds like him.

>>8439750

Wittgenstein.

>>8439942
The hard mode one is not Schopenhauer.

>>8439877
>>8439883

refer to the same work though the first one applies to a surprising number of books/philosophers.

>>8440125
Hard mode is not Montaigne or Aurelius. Philosophical Investigations is correct though.

>>8439782
>>8439942

Actually, >>8439750 isn't Kant, but you're not far off (not chronologically, but inspiration wise).

Here's some hard mode ones (not really obscure, but not that often mentioned around here philosophers edition):

1. "Dude what if we're all in the Matrix, but because we chose it and you can totally be traumatized by it and choose not to respawn after you die?"

2. "What if you touch yourself but can't feel both touching and being touched and you can touch several things at once and focus on one thing at a time only and if you can't do that your body goes batshit flailing and stuff?"

3. "What if being is made out of time and stuff, but stuff is also time only slower or some shit?"

4. "What if the mind is made out of machines and factories and stuff?"

5. "What if you really have to stare a capped nigga in the face to truly be ethical or something?"

>>8440265
Just to clarify: Kant was a big influence for the mystery philosopher, not the other way around.

>>8440265
>>8440267
Forgot to mention, it's not Wittgenstein either.

Really vague, is it Epicurus or some Stoic, or are you going for Psychoanalysis (Lacan, Freud) ?

Genealogy of morals?

>>8441981
This one sounds really vague. Maybe some fatalist / hard determinist?

>>8441989
It sounds like it could be Hobbes or Machiavelli, but Marx justified some similar stuff as well as far as I know.

>>8439750

Husserl? Sounds like phenomenology.

2-3 are definitely Being and Time.

1 is probably Baudrillard.

>>8440265

Is number one seriously Buddha?

>>8442428

Pascal.

When someone interprets as derogatory almost anything that
is said about him (or about groups with whom he identifies)
we conclude that he has inferiority feelings or low self-esteem.
This tendency is pronounced among minority rights activists,
whether or not they belong to the minority groups whose rights they defend.
The terms “negro”, “oriental”, “handicapped” or “chick” for an African,
an Asian, a disabled person or a woman originally had no derogatory connotation.
“Broad” and “chick” were merely the feminine equivalents of “guy”, “dude” or “fellow”.
The negative connotations have been attached to these terms by the activists themselves.
Those who are most sensitive about
“politically incorrect” terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller,
Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists,
many of whom do not even belong to any
“oppressed” group but come from privileged strata of society.
Political correctness has its stronghold among university students.
Many leftists have an intense identification
with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women),
defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals) or otherwise inferior.

The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior.
They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings,
but it is precisely because they do see these groups as
inferior that they identify with their problems.
(We do not mean to suggest that women, Indians, etc.
ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology.)
Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong and as capable as men.
Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may NOT be as strong and as capable as men.
Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science,
objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative.
The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification
of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior.
This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of
mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests.
Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principles,
and moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type.
But compassion and moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism.
Hostility is too prominent a component of leftist behavior; so is the drive for power.
Moreover, much leftist behavior is not rationally calculated to be
of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to be trying to help.

>>8442457
>>8442422
2 is not Heidegger, but you're very close.
3 is also not Heidegger, but 3 had an influence on 2 so it's sort of close.

1 is not Baudrillard. The metaphysical aspect is kinda literal, not just simulacra.

Hopefully the hints didn't make it too easy.

>>8442488
No, still Western philosophy, but it has its similarities to Buddhism.

>>8442545

Sounds like he struck a nerve.

>>8442541
I already said it was Husserl. You're in the right area obviously.

>some say Lovecraft is a bad writer, but if I can rewrite some sentences and make them worse, it means he wasn't that bad!
>also objects

>>8443498
I'll look silly if I'm wrong, but is it Weird Realism: Lovecraft and Philosophy by Graham Harman by any chance?

If not, Thomas Ligotti something something.

>>8443622
Yes. I didn't finish it, but I was just weirded out by some of the discussion at the start where he spends legit 50 pages discussing the critical responses to Lovecraft's work, by especially Edmund Wilson. He follows it up with a bunch of writing exercises where he rewrites the passages in a less exciting manner to prove they aren't terrible in their sublime version. Ergo, Lovecraft is cool. Poor literary criticism desu. I read Brassier instead.

>>8443702
I haven't read it, he just mentioned it once in a Youtube clip just to say that Lovecraft contributed more to content than to style and that's important in itself so it sounds like all of his extra effort to prove that his style isn't that bad is superfluous to begin with.

Marcus Aurelius - Meditations?

>>8445771
That's pretty much all of analytic philosophy, isn't it? I'll go with Russell just to be specific.

i'll show my power level spreging over a long dead composer and his opera, justifying my breakup

>>8445776
