That's like 3 forms of bait in one sentence.

I'm impressed.

Delete this. It's too obvious for serious response.

Objetivism is the most alpha philosophy

Young ayn rand has a strangely fuckable quality to her I can't put my finger on... She seems like she could be a character from a Tim burton movie.

>>9432039
Yawn.

>>9432039

The extra funny part is the only reason she was able to go to university is thanks to the communists.

Thomas Paine is the greatest American philosopher. But most non-Americans would probably disagree

Clearly wasn't "obvious" in the year 1780 when everyone and her grandma was a Christian Puritan.

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like putting Carolina BBQ sauce on a tofu burger.

Both wrong. Emerson is the greatest American philosopher not just for the content of his work but for the work he inspired that agreed and disagreed with his work. Without Emerson there would be no Whitman or Thoreau, there would be no accurate description of what it means to be an individual with no weighty ancestry, no oppressive impetus to please his nobles, and no open frontiers (both literal and metaphorical). People like Ben Franklin contributed to the concept of why America's uncultured, unhistoried, un noble situation is so fantastic, but Emerson creates the concept of American-ness that we so readily understand. In addition, the responses to his work that arise from literature ie Hawthorne, Melville, and the rest of the dark romantics are some of the greatest literary works and created some of the greatest literary traditions in the modern world.
Anyone who disagrees with me is hiding in the sarcophagus of dead thought, a place more restrictive for thought than plato's cave and needs to breath free and fresh air of the American bowers to cleanse that dusty ideology from their lungs.

>ctrl + F search for 'Rawls'
>no hits

/lit/ confirmed for being nothing but mere philosophical sophomores

>>9433879
We'll give this to you as long as Dewey is second

>>9433889
Rawls is a crypto-communist and as such can be dismissed out of hand.

>>9433889
>>9434030
Rawls wasn't a communist and as such can be dismissed out of hand.

>>9434079
>Entire philosophy based around proving that fixing economic inequality is in everyone's best interest
>not a Commie

right

>>9434084
He also wrote about how capitalism is the best system ever. Rawls was the proto-SJW who asserted how ameliorating poverty is "justice", using ethics rather then self-interest to promote his politics.

>>9434126
>ethics
oh and metaphysics

>>9434126
>He also wrote about how capitalism is the best system ever.

If that's true he was operating on a level of dialectical denial I rarely see.

>>9434084

>wants to increase wealth distribution through taxation within a capitalist framework where the means of production may be privately owned
>wants to collectivize the means of production and send political dissidents to Gulag

Do you not see the difference?

>>9434168
They only differ in level of brutality and both require violent force.

>>9434146

> he believes in dialectic materialism

>>9434181
No I don't. I'm not a materialist.

>>9432914
>>9433628

She looks like a young Severus Snape

>>9434189

Stop accusing people of not being dialectic enough then, litgger

>>9434198
There isn't just one kind of dialectic you ignorant fool.

>>9434218

Inb4 you're a pederastic socrate dialoguefag...

Absolutely not.
>>9432156
Sorry, but Peirce is by far the greatest American philosopher of all time. Literally 'American Aristotle'.

>>9432914
You forgot
>live off welfare for latter part of her life

>>9432914
We learn from our experiences but can also be warped by them. She learned the lessons of communism too well.

I could have sworn she was Yugoslav or Ukrainian. Am I the only one who thought this?

>>9433475
I've always imagined Dominique Francone looking like Ayn

...oh that's why she looks like a mong

>>9433784
haha you are funny anon
no one would ever want to smell ayn rands sexy feet odour after a long day of smoking fags and preaching objectivism
haha

>>9432039
Sorry, her philosophy is too close to "I've got mine, fuck everyone else". I like living in a cooperative society, so I'm really not interested.

>Russian
>Rosenbaum
Are you that dumb or is this bait?

>>9433628
Young Ayn Rand is sexy. Old Ayn Rand is creepy.

She looks Ike David Bowie

>not knowing Nozick is the greatest american philosopher

>>9438025
Aren't all her female heroes basically Ayn Rand self inserts?
