    Who is your most detested philosopher ?

    We had a thread a while back on who was your favorite filosofer. Now, let's take a look at it the other way around.

    I'll open the hostilities with Kant - so obsessed about "truth" that he forgot he could have been lying.

    I'll second that with Sartre - not uninteresting, but as Foucault said, he tried to understand the 20th century with tools from the 19th.

    And to finish, Adam Smith. In a sense, he's an instructive victim of liberalism, but that's also what makes him ****ing scary.

    Friedrich Nietzsche.

    He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

      Is this a trick ?

      If no, thanks.

        You already know the answer: Parmenides of Elea. Equivocating whore that he was.

          You already know my take on this too: he wrote for his contemporaries, who were used to poetic tales with gods and flying stuff.

          Do you happen to think Heraclitus was "clearer" ?

            No, he just didn't equivocate and so was ten times more respectable. I don't care about the imagery, I just can't respect the world's earliest known deconstructionist. People who "explode dichotomies" should be exploded with dynamite.

                    I'm not sure there's a philosopher I hate. Sure, a lot of them either irritate me or bore me, but I don't think I actually hate anyone of them. Maybe Heidegger, because he was a Nazi. He was a great philosopher, but a little man.

                    Oh, and Spinoza. He's the worst.

                              It's the same for me - I reckon that only brilliant people make brilliant mistakes...

                              In the case of Heidegger, I'd say that his commentaries on Nietzsche are even worse than nazism.
