Where the fuck is Quine?
>implying you even read 1/4 of these philosopher's works
Where's my nigga Origenes?
>>8749544
Hume is at least high if not top. Neetshuh belongs in mid.
>>8749544
Move Ockham up to top top or God tier. He singlehandedly btfo Aquinas.
Aurelius shit
Making bold and controversial statements is the only way you get replies here.

Diogenes is a class all his own, he's not even in a tier. There is no tier
>>8750796
He's in a fucking barrel, holding a dying lamp and firing cumshot on the shoulder's of the people of Athens.
I always found Stirner's ideas pretty interesting.
>>8750845
Ideas are a spook
>>8750546
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.
>>8750851
Not if they're interesting!
>>8749544
>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.
