You're a moron if you don't think he's the right choice for modern philosophy

It's not about how much you like them, it's about impact

That's fine enough. For just Western, I'd put:

>Plato
>Aristotle
>Kant
>Nietzsche
>Hegel
>Descartes

At the very least, the philosopher's name must exist in academic philosophy lexicon in adjective/movement form (e.g. Kantian, Nietzschean, Cartesian)

>>9508740
That would be Marx. Like him or not.

Two of the three on the bottom are just there because they didn't want all white men

>>9508715
>entire history
it's pretty clear they're trying to cover an expanse of both time and geographical area, and not specifically of concepts as they apply to the modern day

>>9508725
All ancient societies had some form of this, most of which invented it before that chink.

>>9508715
Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Wittgenstein

>>9508748
Marx's philosophy wasn't nearly as impactful as Nietzsche; it was his political views. Yes those were highly tied to his politics but people don't talk about his philosophy nearly as much

>>9508750
I don't know much about Middle-Eastern philosophy, but are Buddha and Confucius not incredibly relevant in their influence on Asian political structures and culture?

>>9508756

>>9508764
>that's a bad thing

>>9508773
It's certainly not charitable or comprehensive.

>>9508759
Marx's politics are not separate from his philosophy - they're one in the same. More importantly almost all modern philosophy is an expansion or reaction to his writings.

If not Marx at least Hegel. Nietzsche is a fucking meme philosopher. The just BE urself of philosophy.

>>9508779
>Marx's politics are not separate from his philosophy
I'm not saying they should ever be separated but non-academic nu-Marxism has successfully done so. Find any young communist and ask them a philosophical question: they can't fucking answer

>>9508779
Solid points. However, I'd argue Nietzsche is just as influential as Marx---virtually all continental philosophy is Nietzschean, for example. You will only find just as many exceptions to that rule as you would for Marx (e.g. Zizek; Heidegger, respectively).

>>9508783
Anon's point is any 'Marxist answer' is a philosophical answer.

>>9508750
Are you talking about Averroes here, because he was really influential in both the East and the West. He's also the only medieval on the list.

>>9508783
>Find any young communist and ask them a philosophical question: they can't fucking answer
Well yeah they're obnoxious little shits.

My point was Marx is a better representative for the break in modern philosophy than Nietzsche.

Doesn't actually mean anything anyway.

there's a reason most philosophy department out there will never teach Marx: it's off-topic

Confucius and Buddha aren't even philosophers.

I feel annoyed that Averroes is there and not Aquinas.

>>9508826

>>9508814
>>9508825
It's true. You usually only read about him briefly in elective courses on Political Philosophy. He's utterly irrelevant to philosophy as is. And no, I graduated from one of the best institutes in Europe (not in the UK)

>Averroes
literally who?

>>9508859
A heathen that questioned Allah's power.

Plato, Descartes, Locke,
Kant, Frege, Heidegger

Locke is debatable. But an Empiricist needs to take his place

lol is that Kant? love that virtuous fella.

>>9508723 They're also trying to cover philosophy geographically so it makes sense.

While your superior white race was occupied with inbreeding, Averroes was studying and translating Aristotle and helping keep the actually important part of western tradition alive.

>>9508779
I like Nietzsche a lot but that's a very apt summary of his thought, top memeing my lad.

Swap plato for Aquinas, swap kant for hegel, swap nietzsche for kierk (btfo), swap budhha for aristotle, swap confucius for Augustine, Averroes can stay.

On the contrary, all modern philosophy is a reaction to Nietzsche(thanks Deleuze). Marxism started fading from academia during the 70's.
