If Heidegger doesnt beat NEETzsche I'm leaving Veeky Forums forever

>the only brown guy has already lost
really white people?

Spinoza beat Hume?

I don't get it, how do you 'rank' philosophers? How do you determine who 'beats' another philosopher?

Seriously you guys are retarded. This is beyond insane.

yeah ofc
there's no difference between Dan Dennett and Immanuel Kant

none at all

My point is when it gets down to philosophers like Plato and Aristotle it's like comparing apples and oranges. There is little compatibility or even comparability in their rhetoric.

It's not about who is better, but who is most liked.
Although OP could have come up with a better process of eliminating or one that doesn't eliminate at all.

>one that doesnt eliminate at all
>everyone moves to the next round
>this tournament never ends

No, it's comparing an apple, that argued with the apple that came before, with that other apple.

Good riddance.

And the name of that tournament is philosophy.

Descartes is coming for that underdog win.

God, analytics are so boring.

It's comparing an apple with an orange because the fundamental principles of their philosophy lie on different grounds

Would that make you unable to choose whom you agree with the most? You are this stupid.

>Camus beat Marx for worse philosopher
rigged

"why isnt ayn rand on here" t. you

It would make it impossible to compare the two.

Here's another example:

Who do you like more Pythagoras or Adam Smith?

Cmon aren't they both philosophers technically?

HURRRRR PHILOSOPHY HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

What? It's just strange that Marx would lose to Camus. We had a similar poll a few days ago and I recall Marx being voted the worst by a good margin.

>putting Plotinus and Boethius in the "worst philosopher" categories

wtf man

you guys literally chose a nazi over a faggot

>Hegel didn't make it
>on fucking Veeky Forums

m-muh Neetchee

>It would make it impossible to compare the two.
It was Aristotle's day job, you just never read him.
>Who do you like more Pythagoras or Adam Smith?
Obviously my thought is closer to Smith's since his approach to mathematics isn't a religious one. You still haven't said why differences wouldn't make the choice easier, will you ever make an ar-
>HURRRRR PHILOSOPHY HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
well, I see you did your best.
Plotinus was matched against Plato in the first round, had he been here he would have voted for him, too.
It's an improvement.

only like 20 people voted, we'll never know if there's actual improvement with the neetcheeboos

This poll only goes to demonstrate that democracy is an enormous error.

if you looked at the bracket youd notice that theyre grouped by tradition and somewhat by subject

is there any pairing on here that you really cant compare?

This. Fucking rigged bullshit.
Also, I bet five bucks Bentham wins worst philosopher.

Augustine is easily going to win. He's smacking Plato and it'll be a close one against Aristotle—for brainlet reasons that I do not know. Nietzsche is gonna beat Kierkegaard in the final 8. It'll be Augustine and Nietzsche in the semi's.

And for the final it'll be Augustine vs. Kant.

And Saint Augustine of Hippo will win.

It is. That's why the base of America's system is a republic. Democracy is the adjective for the system.

It was him against Kant, and Kant got the vote of anyone that isn't a neo-Hegelian.

>Plotinus was matched against Plato in the first round, had he been here he would have voted for him, too.

>tfw if Heidegger was here he would vote for Hitler as his favorite

>It's going to be Ludwig Wittgenstein vs Saul Kripke as the analytic finalists
>tfw the two biggest autists in history will be up against each other for the king analytic title

desu Hegel would beat Leibniz

All Platonic dialogues are essentially the same formula over and over. It works best when he is describing the ideal city-state but it is far too monotonous to just sit there and read two people talking that way when he could convey the same ideas with much less dialogue and words in general.

The worst ancient/medieval philosopher is still better than the best analytic this contest is retarded

but all of them are worse than K A N T

>Augustine is easily going to win
god i wish

t. delusional Thomist

i wasn't expecting such a close competition between NEETch and Heidey

>Frege vs Wittgenstein
>tfw same bedeutung
>both turbo autists

also Kripke

>tfw that guy is back

oh well, I guess its over now. Heres where it was at before he came:
>Wittgenstein beats Frege
>Kripke beats Putnam
>Kant beats Spinoza
>Leibniz beats Descartes
>Kierkegaard beats Husserl
>Heidegger beats Nietzsche
>Plato beats Augustine
>Aristotle beats Socrates

>>Plato beats Augustine
nice try

>Singer over Popper
>Dennett over Russell
>Bentham over Voltaire
>Mill over Rousseau
>Lacan over Sartre
>Land over Camus
>Aurelius over Boethius
>Sextus over Diogenes

desu I'd rather have Augs win but I cant deal with this nigger rigging shit

yeah, just like how i wished OU would've won.

neetchee will probably take it

Yeah, I like Hegel, but I like Kant better

This "bracket" is full of vote stacking anyway, it means literally nothing
This is why Veeky Forums polls etc. are only good for unimportant questions like what is it about asuka that makes her so unlovable and disgusting, you know, things that are not controversial or tempting to rig
OP, next time just have people roll dubs to decide the winner in each matchup

desu I don't care at all if people vote once on their computer and once on their phone or anything like that

it's just becomes gay and unfun when some guy spams 30+ votes to force his shitty taste

It isn't just one guy. All you have to do is press the back button after you have voted. You can vote as many times you like. So far, all the people that I wanted to win, have won.

>It isn't just one guy.
It is. The vote jumped from around 20 to around 60 in 5 minutes

I'll probably use a different site for the final rounds though

>20 to around 60
It was more like 30, and about 10 of those 30 votes were mine.

Is it me, or are most of the "Christian" philosophers winning? (Except for Descartes)

>Heidegger beats Nietzsche
UNTERMENSCH BTFO

>NO
>FUCKING
>GOETHE

If you fucking cucks vote fucking Augustine over Plato I'm going to fucking shiit.

had a hearty chuckle at the seeding for singer in worst philosophers. god i hate that faggot.

surprised to see the pragmatists go out like that; putnam is fucking soft and his buddy rorty already got btfo. wittgenstein/nietzsche final
