What made Germans so incredibly potent in the field of philosophy? Are there any modern German philosophers?

autism

Peter Sloterdijk, Habermas

I have read that one of the advantages is that the German language is uniquely precise enough to express more abstract ideas. I don't speak German and am not a philosopher, but I though that assertion was pretty interesting.

no, that's retarded

I think Nietzsche claimed something like that. Sounds like a load of horseshit to me though.

When your main competition is British analytical philosophers who've already painted themselves into a corner you're going to come out on top no matter what.

At least post the GOAT of German philosophy.

Germans used to be smart, but now they have been replaced by Türks and other brown people.
Also Cunt is from what today is Russia.

2 times wasn't enough for the poles to learn their lesson about hegelian philosophies, huh?

It is true, don't mind those other dumbfucks. The role of language in thought formation and personality is something that's studied extensively today and isn't completely baseless. It's why so many languagelets are retarded.

philosophical food for thought - if it's okay to eat animals, why can't we fuck them? Most people are fine with animal farming, which typically involves artifical insemination, ultimately for the transient pleasure of the flavour of pork. So if we're fine with basically raping them, and it's motivated by what we enjoy, why can't we skip all the farming part and just fuck pigs for pleasure? Why is that illegal but farming in general is okay? Disclaimer: I don't actually want to fuck a pig I'm just making a point.

their stopped doing philosophy after their philosophy killed 500 million people.

German does not even have a good translation of "anxiety" as a general state of mind or mental illness. I'm not saying it's necessarily worse than English but it's hardly uniquely suited to describing the human condition.

>>220443441
It's all because of traditional cultural garbage we got attached to. Moral relativism solves this. Same goes for drugs of choice depending on country. Alcohol is arguably a bigger destructive force than cannabis (eaten, not smoked) and yet in most western places one is legal while the other is not. And I'm making this arugment as a weedhead heater.

>>220443441
It's legal in Germany, you sick fucks

German exceptionalism is a thing of the past. And they know it.

I want to learn German but I don't care for literature about ideas and German is filled with it
Thomas Bernhard and Kafka are good though

Germans are autistic and overthink things, simple as.

Caffeine comedowns will make you do that. Kant drank tea and coffee like a motherfucker.

>if it's okay to eat animals, why can't we fuck them?
Nutrition and sexuality are different orders of priority for what is required in life and sexual degeneracy on the level of fucking animals has second order consequences outside whether or not the consent of the animal matters.
>>
>>220444170
Wasnt Kant the one who has a hyper specific routine he did every single day that he would repeat for years as well? So youre telling me he was also geeking on caffeine the entire time?

Fucking based

there are no such differences between languages. any language originating from a culture which has agriculture has the capacity to be used in the discussion of any modern philosophical subject.

I feel like this is a stronger argument for vegetarianism than it is for bestiality.

>>220444218
Some biographer established that he was buddies with English merchants who supplied him with tea for most of his life. I kinda lied about the coffee because he only started drinking it at the end of his life.

What are called "philosophers" these days are fringe political commentators on youtube who don't necessarily bring new ideas.
>>
>>220445020
There hasn't been a philosopher since Baudrillard.
>>
>>220443484
vague terms like this rarely translate well into other languages, you can find examples for this in any direction you please
see, English has no good translation for Glück

this is only half relevant for philosophy anyway
the terms present in a culture will obviously steer the direction of philosophical discourse, but the number of already occupied terms is finite
the power of language comes in where it enables you to express new ideas, and not just yap about things everyone knows already

>german word that is mix of fortune and happiness is also onomatopoeia for the sound a girl makes when she sucks your cock
Absolutely based language

if Nietzsche probably said it then it's probably true
>>
>>220443484
I think it might be about your case system.
>>
If that's any consolation, for better or worse, a lot of 20th philosophy stems from German/Austrian philosophy:

- French theory: Husserl, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Freud, Marx
- analytic philosophy: Wittgenstein, Frege
