Topic: Who of these philosophers are most interesting Posted: November 17 2015 at 11:22 |
just curious to who of these men words and thoughts has the most profound impact on you, either as students or researchers, or in your private life. i really for what i have read, liked Hegel, and his followers, Gadamer and Heidegger. But the more i read of Kant and the more i grasp of him, the more illumintating hes thoughts becomes to me. He was an intellegent man of much depth.

Kant is easily the most popular philosopher on the terraces at White Hart Lane, as his name is chanted regularly during Spurs home games..espcially if the dreadful arse-nails are the opposition.

A flurry of angry stuff might get thrown at Locke in this thread, but he's really quite good. In fact, many complaints I see levied against him tend to be attacks of the modern conception of Locke's philosophy rather than things that Locke actually believed.
Anyway, it's Hume. Yeah he got free-will and the theory of the mind kinda way wrong but much more good than bad in his writings.

I voted Spinoza because of his strong opposition to Descartes' mind-body dichotomy.

^Yeah I like what he has to say about free will, but his monism is a bit peculiar.

Hegel. His motion based philosophy is fascinating and eye opening, and I find myself agreeing with a few of his conclusions. His hypothesis on what would drive a creator god to create the universe is certainly the best answer to that question I've ever heard.

Kants transcendental theories might hjelp to understand prog more the distinction between sublime, beutifull and genious, and Pink Floys/ Syd Barratt as ĺ case study of genious of how it is aplied by Kant

actually, if the question is "which of these philosophers is the most interesting?" the answer would be none of them because philosophers are actually crashing bores to know. if the question is "which of these philosophers' theories are the most interesting?", then you would be asking the appropriate question to elicit the responses you are receiving. My answer would be: whomever is the most pedantic.

But from a philosophical standpoint, did the sizzle of Bacon lead to the meaty issues of Oscar Meyer?
