in your opinion?

>>9873911
Tractacus

>>9873911
It's Wittgenstein or Heidegger. Any other name will just be mentioned by hipsters trying to be unique
>>
Being and Time or Tratacus
>>
Philosophical Investigations or The Two Dogmas of Empiricism
>>
>>9873948
The Two Dogmas of Empiericism
who wrote that?
>>
The Incompleteness Theorems by Godel?
does that count?
>>
>>9873933
How can the Tractatus even be the greatest work, when Wittgenstein himself disavowed it
>>
>>9874005
Because at that point he was old, new-agey, retarded, and wrong.
>>
Philosophical Investigations is much better and more relevant to Witty's ideas than the Tracitus
>>
>>
Kripke?

Getting real tired of your shit, modern man.

Checkout George Steiner's book on Heidegger. 300 pages. He was able to make Heidegger's thinking acessible. After that decide if you want to get more in depth or not

Quine.

I absolutely agree with Wittgenstein being on this list. The Tractatus can still be viewed in lieu of Wittgenstein's disavowal, because he saw it as a necessary ladder to be cast off once you've summited it's heights. I still believe that prop 7 is the most important piece of that work - that's surely something that even late Wittgenstein would not disavow.

I'm no very familar with Kripke, but I have heard that Kripke's mind would have been much better put to use doing Continental work rather than analytic non-sense.
>>
>>9874378
He's less popular nowadays. Besides, analytic philosophers seem to have less intellectual impact.
>>
>>9874439
Because they have no intellect
>>
>>9874442
Sorry, meant 'individual impact'.
>>
analytical philosophers overall tend to have more raw intellect than continentals
>>
>>9875042
Incorrect. Logic is opposing to intellect. Stop stroking your ego, *nglo.
