>Socrates Not even a philosopher, just an annoying village idiot and a pedo who enjoyed bothering working people with meaningless questions >Plato 99% of things he suggested were proven wrong by science and history. 1% thats left is something that modern age imprints into children as common sense (knowledge is gud hurrr) >Aristotle Autistic clown obsessed with categorizing everything. Nigga tried to categorize human relationships lel. His only achievement is calling Plato on his form bullshit.
Greek philosophy and it's crowned trio of faggots are literally irrelevant to a modern intellectual

Fuck off Callicles

You're right although greek philosophers aren't important due to their theories but their way of critical thinking. They created basic need of mind struggle and its criterias. Sokrates was the first man (in written history) who died for dignity of mind. Plato was first who tried to create an academy. Aristotle was first who tried to create a basic rules of logic.
Lucas Campbell
What should be relevant to a "modern intellettual"? History is made of the same two or three questions reiterated throughs the centuries. Every subsequent philosophy is just a rehash or enhancement of what they said and explored before everyone else, along with the other greeks, creating the methods we still use every day, the means by which we analyse reality. The means that permit you to show your retardness in full anonimity on an anime image board.

Why not?
Adam Lopez
Their ideas on metaphysics are still important.
You DO take metaphysics seriously, don't you, OP? You're not a faggot, right?
Jeremiah Jenkins
A lot of shit the early philosophers suggested were objectively wrong. The presocratics guessed at a lot of things, scientific and otherwise. It's not about them being wrong or right, its about how these ideas developed, and understanding their rationale
I have no idea how any of these guys did astrology back then. Baffles my mind.
Michael Bell
Socrates was innocent, you fag.
Kevin Rodriguez
because he likes being a contrarian
Jackson Clark
>he things there is a 'right' and 'wrong' kek top
Aiden Stewart
Not actually. He is innocent by our standards, but not from the one in Ancient Greece. He was actually doing all that kind of illegal stuff, and that's just why we remember him. It's not about sounding edgy, but that's some point (if not all) in philosophy: to transgress historical standards so hegelian lecture, I know.
Jeremiah Baker
Science is a product of philosophical inquiry you retard. You really are retarded if you don't know that
Elijah Thompson
do you not know what 'trolling' is you newman
Kevin Morales
What I meant by objectively wrong was that things like their astrological measurements were incorrect.
Anthony Hall
SOCRATES WAS A NIGGER AND SINGLE HANDEDLY DESTROYED GREEK CULTURE AND BROUGHT IT TO CIVILIZATION
Juan Thompson
dude their perceived measurements were correct NICE TRIPS FUCKING SOPHIST
Jordan Cruz
TRULY THE GREATEST SCOURGE TO EVER BEFALL HUMANITY
YOU ARE WRONG THOUGH
THINKING WAS LITERALLY INVENTED BY SATAN IN FACT, WHETHER IN THE GUISE OF THE SNAKE OR THE WHORE SHAMHAT
BEFORE THAT WE HUMANS DIRECTLY OBEYED GOD AND WERE TRULY FREE
Kevin Flores
This. The Egyptians, the Babylonians/Assyrians/Sumerians, the Hebrews, none of them had anything like the sort of abstract self-conscious thought our society is built on.
inb4 muh Hindus, muh Chinese, muh Japanese. They ultimately got it from the Greeks. Hindu astronomy, math, grammar, philosophy, all came from Greece.
>A lot of shit the early philosophers suggested were objectively wrong
The funny thing is who was wrong why. The Epicureans tried to get knowledge of the world through their senses and they thought the sun wasn't much larger than a beach-ball. The Platonists knew the sun was massive because they thought the earth was like a point in the middle of a circle with no magnitude compared with the rest of the universe, and this was for mystical numerological reasons.
