Is he the most important philosopher of modernity

Prob

>>8530885
so you say yes?

In the last 300 years we haven't had a great thinker. My judgment is bold, since Kant is included. All the great thinkers of recent centuries from Kant to Benedetto Croce have only cultivated the garden.

The most autistic*
t. Nietzsche

>>8530889
who was the last great thinker in your opinion?

He's the most important philosopher of liberalism and that shit managed to prevail the political system of choice in the western world.

>>8530894
Diogenes

>>8530896
good

fuck marx

From the Greeks to the Idealists? Unquestionably.

>>8530894
Russell.

>>8530896
Blow your brains out.

>>8530896
I'm not trying to fight you, but what's his connection to liberalism? I wasn't aware of this.

>>8530899
>>8530900
Jesus, I meant "that shit" in the sense of "that stuff".

>>8530902
His ideas of the inherent worth of individuals, treating people as ends in themselves, his legal and moral theory are all inherently liberal.

Just to be sure since there are a lot of burgers here I mean liberal as in constitutional parliamentary government and capitalism, not in le assjaydubya.

korrekt answer

>>8530899
So which of the two is it? Business owner or cuck?

Hegel is better.

Prove. Me. Wrong.

>>8530912

wot? In liberal theory people are ends in themselves. In practice this is the exception rather than the rule.

Read some Adorno then kys.

>>8530926
Heidegger proved him and Kant cowards

>>8530884
no hes Plato 2.0 and just as wrong

>>8530920
in all seriousness, do you have a reason that you think Russell is significant in anyway? he's only ever been an educator, never a pioneer.

>>8530977
Russel is one of the founders of Analytical Philosophy which is pretty much the dominant school in America and UK.....i think thats enough to say he achieved alot

>>8530977
He was the last philosopher who was a cuckold. And cuckolding is the thinking man's fetish.

>>8530988
>is one of the founders of Analytical Philosophy
more important figures in analytic philosophy:
>Cantor
>Frege
>Godel
>Quine

Heidegger

>>8530966
he's more of an Aristotelian senpai, nothing like Plato. he attacks idealism. his whole Critique is constructed so as to disjoin the noumena from knowing, and he does so, like Aristotle, with the same rigid use of predicate logic.

>>8531008
well, Aristotle is Plato 1.1 so...

>>8531000
where'd you get this pic

Predicate Logic was invented only 75 years after Kant's death. He in fact hailed Aristotle for his Logic and that it is the most complete Logic there is and will ever be.

Please abstain from posting uninformed opinions.

>>8531055
No but he cucked TS Eliot

while accidentally constructing a different logic

>>8530884
when I first read him I was 2edgy4responsibility and thought his categorical imperative to be incredibly annoying, but as I matured a bit since than I'd definitely say he is interesting, maybe not on the same level as,say, Descartes, but non the less interesting.

>>8530884
I would say Kant, Marx and Nietzsche.
After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre is extremely insightful for how and why.
