>>8860054
Philosophers are men who think for long periods of time. Why does it surprise you that they're white?
>>8860054
>Confucius
>white guy
hmm
>>8860077
A-ha!
there was one poc on the list! therefore the list isn't racist! fuck you non-white subhmans for wanting to be equal amirite guise?
>>8860087
Name a single person of color that is made an equal contribution to philosophy as those twenty in the OP.
Hint: some have done much less than the others
>>8860087
No, fuck you non-white subhumans for demanding equality of outcome and pretending it's about equality of opportunity and calling anyone who disagrees racist.
>>8860087
You said 20 white guys originally, so when someone pointed out you were wrong, you went into an autistic fit. Not surprising desu
>>8860087
>equal
Just because you get to vote and have the same rights as us doesn't mean we have to re-write our history to make it more inclusive of "PoCs"
I'm sure if you typed the same question into Chinese google you would get a list of Asian philosophers, so why don't you take a chill pill my colored friend? Not everything is this huge conspiracy to fuck you over.
>>8858596
What makes you say that?
Platonic and Aristophanic Socrates are top notch. Xenophone a shit.
Platonic and Aristophanic Socrates are top notch. Xenophone a shit.
As for those that deserve to be dropped there are many...
But ESPECIALLY Sartre. What a hack.
>>8858509
Stirner deserves all 20 spots. Philosophy is a spook.
>>8860087
Yes, you subhuman nigger.
>>8860087

>>8861650
Why think about that?
>>8858527
>John Rawls
>this is how sheltere
>>8861794
I'll admit I'm taking a shit right now and wanted to stop writing that because it was really self-indulgent, but accidentally hit "post"
I'm not sure why the fact that I'm taking a shit is important but it is
>>8858824
>Locke
>I don't rate Locke
>>8860087

>>8860087
>fragile retards replying to this
it's very hard for me to give anyone on this board the benefit of the doubt re: intelligence when so many of you can't even discern a simple b8ing. consider going back to your home boards/reddit
>>8861674
>Confucius is why China is terrible
Marx/Mao have nothing to do with this?
>>8858527
>John Rawls

>>8863365
>analytic shit
>philosophy
pick one
>>8863359
William Henry?
Plato should be on there but Socrates should be lumped in with him.
I think it's a solid list for Western philosophy. It's too hard for me to think of Eastern philosophy in the same way and for the same list, because the tradition has such a different history, role in society, and methodology. It's just as great though. Nagarjuna is easily the philosopher I think about in my daily life more than any other, though I'm a Buddhist so I'm biased.
>>8863355
>China only existed after communism
Marx is more a political theorist than a philosopher
