Why is Veeky Forumss taste such shit

Why the dislike of Aristotle?

except he contributed less than Leibniz

Just be happy Aristotle got 1 instead of Neet

Yeah but Leibniz wasn't English so he doesn't count

How can you have Aristotle at 1 yet have Aquinas and Averroes so low?

Well it's based off of upvotes-downvotes

...and because Veeky Forums is retarded

Aquinas is a great choice
>David Hume bout to take this tho

Why does Veeky Forums hate Hume, Heidegger and Husserl so much

Thomas Aquinas is a christian philosopher who has obvious predilections toward faith.

Butthurt brainlets

Imagine being over the age of 17 and considering Nietzsche a philosopher

>no analytic garbage anywhere near the top
My faith in Veeky Forums is restored.

alright thank god

where's averroes?

the token brown guy

Imagine voting Marx as your least favorite philosopher

ban everyone who voted for marx as their favorite
but also ban everyone who voted for marx as their least favorite

i picked foucault, derrida, and sartre as my least favorite philosophers.

I picked Sartre, I have no idea why you’d say Foucault or Derrida.

Why isn't Augustine on the favorites list? I voted for Plato, but only because Augustine wasn't there.

>never worked a day in his life
>dude workers unite lmao
>dude everything is dialectical lmao
>dude this will totally work in real life lmao
>dude synthesis lmao

He was though, look again.

Without clicked I literally didn’t know who you were referring to, I thought you meant Hegel.

It’s a shame that you don’t even know that basics of one of the most influential thinkers of all time.

Uh, as the admin of RandPaul2020.net I think I know what I'm talking about.

because i don't fuck with homos and retards.

>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCK CAPITALISM
well he was good at influencing totalitarians i guess

People who voted Marx as favorite can stay *only* if they selected more than one

Out of curiosity, what works by Marx have you read?

>hegel
>workers unite
You know who I was talking about soyboy, don't play dumb with me.

*selects Marx, Sartre, Foucault and Derrida as favorites*

I've read about half of Capital and what he says sounds accurate to me

>being pissed off that some boring analytic philosopher isn't winning the fav philosopher poll on a board dedicated to fucking literature
you fucking moron
you imbecile

booooooring

repped

>*nglos are even human

that guy who came up with Solipsism. Love him to bits. What a neat and irrefutable concept.

Hate Plato. He keeps it too real for comfort.

who gives a shit philosophy is gay

Picked Derrida, Singer, and Sartre. MArx is a dumb answer.

this is correct, but so is literature

only poetry has merit

late heidegger pls go

Why is Donald Davidson there twice?

The second one is swampman

Anyone who voted Marx for least favorite should euthanize themselves.
>abooboo muh free market the socialists are taking away my anime pillows

lmao
see ya, pal

keep crying, red scum

I'm disappointed that Leibniz isn't a top favorite but I suppose it's for the best.

Yup, you're not stealing my anime pillow.

>least favourite philosophers
>Jean-Paul Sartre 3rd
>Bertrand Russell 4th
>Dan Dennett 6th
>Peter Singer 7th
>Marcus Aurelius 11th
good... good...

Tbh if you don't vote Plato then you're a pseud.


Also Peter Singer is the worst philosopher.

>writing for a living isn't work
>90% of the aristocrats he invariably jacks off probably didn't even write for money at all
t. non-marxist non-leftist non-soyboy

>Nietzsche in the lead

>it will work, guys, we only need more experimentaion time!

to hell with your unfalsifiable bullshit

>tfw Diogenes is my favorite philosopher

>Newman not on the list
Into the trash

My dislike of Marx is far more foundational than his Communism or even his economics.

Indeed, a huge oversight.

where is stirner?

*was

...

okay but being a writer doesn't make you a prole
let me know when writers are being "exploited" by capitalism

lol plebs don't know William James

what is it based on then
his .. jewness..

marx never claimed to be prole..

>implying he possesses that big of a sum

I hate Descartes with whole my heart. The Greeks are false idols too.

spoken like a true pseud

>Nietzsche: +43
Wow good thing Sam Harris isn't on the list

Sean Goonan

aquinas is dirty platonist, and averroes is just commenter of aristotle

oh, i confused aquinas with augustine, please delete both posts

t. butthurt marxist

The dumbest thing here is calling averroes just a commentator of aristotle.

Nietzchlets are just Marxists in reverse
