Please recommend me quietist philosophers

Please recommend me quietist philosophers.

Start with the Quakers

Diogenes, Wittgentein, Austin, Rorty.

slavoj zizek

John Cage - Silence

Hard to say since most of them never said anything
I couldn't resist

Probably one of the better ones

Of those only Austin strikes me as 'quietist,' Diogenes and Rorty are super moralfag and Witty probably thought he was some sort of Christ figure

deus ex?

>I have assumed that the goal, enlightenment, exists. I have had to search and it is the search itself which has been choking me and keeping me out of my natural state. There is no such thing as spiritual or psychological enlightenment because there is no such thing as spirit or psyche. I have been a damn fool all my life, searching for something which does not exist. My search is at an end.

that sounds a bit calamitous...

I dont follow

...

look like guy from deus ex

Nah, the name is in the image description

Philosophical quietism as a concept was literally invented to describe Wittgenstein's approach

Sextus Empiricus, Montaigne, Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, Wittgenstein, Austin, Rorty, John McDowell, James Conant, Cora Diamond

Also arguably Derrida though it depends on your interpretation

Do you think it would be appropriate to include Stirner?

>tfw no calamity to give me the enlightenment i don't believe in

>wrote a metaphysical work the size of two to three bricks
>quietist

>mfw today the natural state is artificiality masking the natural state

>tfw it luckily does not matter

Are you seriously this stupid? Do you know what Quietism is? Schopenhauer's view of philosophy is Quietist.

How so?

Quietism is the notion that Philosophy is therapuetic. Schopenhauer's rational denial of the Will to escape from suffering is a prime example of such an outlook. Schopenhauer's is much more interesting than modern Quietism though as he was influenced by the form of Quietism espoused by Christian Mysticism and Eastern philosphy. The human being is still fallen in Schopenhauer's philosophy, birth is necessarily a tragedy. Through our intellectual faculties we develop an objective view of the world that enables distance and a modicum of peace. Quietism does not mean 'not talking'.

>In Psychotherapy East and West (1961), Watts proposed that Buddhism could be thought of as a form of psychotherapy and not a religion.

just saw your pic but how the fuck is camus a quietist. not gonna bother reading

nice summary my dude
how is wittgenstein a quietist though? i thought most of his work had to do with logic/language

Cure for quietism:

Ramsey: "Philosophy must be of some use and we must take it seriously; it must clear our thoughts and so our actions. Or else it is a disposition we have to check, and an inquiry to see that this is so; i.e. the chief proposition of philosophy is that philosophy is nonsense. And again we must then take seriously that it is nonsense, and not pretend, as Wittgenstein does, that it is important nonsense!"
+
Hume's Treatise 1.4.7
+
some good straight up philosophy, like Frege's Foundations of Arithmetic or Parfit's Reasons and Persons.

Literally Tractatus 7.

if you need it explicit then you are doing it wrong.

>Sees picture of Watts
>Assumes it's Camus
>Don't look anything alike
>Doesn't read the one sentence post clearly explain that it is Watts.

Wittgenstein himself was utterly consumed with philosophical problems his whole life. I agree he saw himself as a sort of sage that was always trying to transcend or dissolve them, but he himself was just utterly and completely obsessed with trivia and his weird puratinism makes him the opposite of quietist in my book.

Austin is more in line with what I would consider quietist, although I don't think he's very insightful. A 'real' quietist would be some of the less moralfaggy Hellenistic philosophers, like Pyrrho.

he 'fucked' his friends to be honest

i dont think quietism means actually shutting up, otherwise we wouldnt know the quietist's works. quietism is just the striving for silence and peace, which was w's obsession.

the only way a true quietist can be known is by the account of others, like pyrrho. and that doesnt even give a reliable picture.

this desu

what is the link between quietism and morality?

I can recognize everyone there but the Christian man, who is it?

Palamas

Thanks.

Yup, He's a modern JC Denton

Is he better than Aquinas?

It would be hard to be worse.
