exactly. what's with the constant fucking "tier" rating on this board. It's like, every single book/author is immediately sorted by perceived difficulty. merit is totally shot to ribbons if the book is considered "simple". it's stupid.

Not if they're interesting!

>Parmenides
>High tier
What? If we're not ranking Thales as high for historical reasons, Parmenides belongs in the trash, honestly.
>>
>>8749544
Schelling is subjectively a better philosopher than Hegel.
>>
>>8751070
Parmenides was a fucking genius brah, tho for relevance Zeno ought to be higher.
>>
>>8751095
Maybe, and don't get me wrong, I think he deserves to be up there, but he was wrong about basically everything he said. What remains? His analytical method? Or rather: his historical significance. But if we're going by that, my point is that Thales needs to be up there as well.
>>
>>8751113
I somewhat agree with you, tho I reserve absolute judgement. I suspect that much like Heraclitus and rivers and fire being misinterpreted even as early as Plato and Aristotle, something similar happened to Thales and water and wood. But if that isn't the case, Thales a shit despite everything else he did.
