Who is the philosopher of choice for pseuds? I was thinking Sartre, or maybe Nietzsche.

Kant

Sartre is based. Nietzsche is for school shooters/Elliot Rodger/edgy teens who want to blame the world for their not getting any pussy

Foucault is a pseud fuck who poisoned academia with his postmodern bullshit

Chomsky even though I like him

Any pre-21st century philosopher. If you haven't caught up with the history of philosopy up to the present you're a hobbyist.

>who want to blame the world for their not getting any pussy

Isn't his philosophy kind of the opposite of that?

Absolutely. People just watch a few vids and repeat whatever they heard.

French posturing

"I am an übermensch, it is society's fault that I'm a loner with no gf and btw morality isn't real it's just invented to oppress strong übermensches like me"

grow up

I agree with these dubs. Nietsche especially is the most popular philosopher among pseuds and has been for quite a while. You'd be surprised how few of his adherents even understand his work, not that it was anything noteworthy anyway.

"Stare into Le Abyss and it will Le stare into Le you."

Foucalt and Lacan are the two big ones

Any post-structuralist philosophy is pseud-city because it's so obscurantist

I don't think he thought he was an ubermensche.

>Focault is a pseud fuck who poisoned academia with his postmodern bullshit
Let me guess. "m-muh historic dialectic"

Most pseud:
Stirner
Diogenes
Any social contract theorist
Plato

>Plato

There's a difference between entry level and pseud.

Or maybe I'm just a pseud and Plato is the first philosopher I've ever read

Yes the uber mensch. Nietzsche has got a bad rep because of his sister and the Nietzsche archive which associated him with Nazism.

Any social contract theorist? So all of Locke'a work is discounted? You're a fucking moron

Stirner.

There was a An Com in my senior year who would draw stirner on everything


He stuttered alot

>thinking Locke is anything more than historically relevant
Oh boy what a cutie

I want to tickle you.

Plato made few important, enduring positive arguments.

>Plato made few important, enduring positive arguments

Yeah but Socrates was a funny guy and a roastmaster and its comfy to read.

Should I go to Aristotle after I'm done reading his important shit or should I dump the Greeks altogether?

Aristotle is tedious, but the Nicomachean ethics is a decent read. Honestly you could also skip him and go straight to Hume, it's up to you. After Hume do Kant, who has a lot of influential, interesting people responding to him.

>petabytes

That's a lot.

forms are honestly kind of underrated

Feyerabend, Quine, Sellars, there are many.

Rad

Read Ethics and Poetics at least

Then why do his followers embrace his whole without these exceptions?

The Nazis claimed him too btw. Alfred Rosenberg named him as the official ideologue of the Third Reich.
