philosophy is for women

I like David Hume. The autist's philosopher.

I studied philosophy in school. Was a goated class honestly with agreat teacher. Teaches you to analyze arguments and structure thoughts well. Good for writing and critical thinking.
Dont remember a lot the stuff we studied tho.
Camus sounds based, more like uplifting existentialism rather than your usual dreadslop or absurdismslop

Here's some garbage philosophy
I honestly believe that an aware human, in all cases, will strive to be "good" according to his own understanding. That is; Evil exists in this world but evil people do not exist, one may commit acts of evil from an outside perspective but one cannot be evil. All people are good.
>what books/authors did you learn from? Is it from your own country?
If some ancient philosopher said something this silly he'd probably be stripped of scholar status
>How has it impacted on your life?
This was the conclusion I came to after realising that every single person has a life just as complex as mine, a childhood, things they love, things they hate, thoughts of their own, goals of their own. When I think of this, I am filled with incredible pain yet immense love for this race of ours, everything we do is what we deem to be good. It is also why I fear extreme mental disorders like schizophrenia and the likes, they twist this established human into a rotten caricature and take the body hostage, It's sickening when you see what used to be a person in a state of total ruin.
>what about random evil person from history
Their actions can always be rationalised if you put yourself in their shoes.

I read Lasch and ever since Ive wanted to kill myself. Not a quarter of the man he was and the times are twice as harsh.

Diogenes and the cynic philosophy is correct. Ultimately we are animals, like other animals, and our purpose is to live according to our nature.

Define “nature”.

Many good literary works can be considered philosophical. Existentialism in general tends to lend itself better to literary stuff rather than autistic philosophical treatises.

>>220982099
Not sure about Dostoyevsky, but It is agreed upon that Camus' ideas contributed to the existencialist movement through his essays and novels

Not too big on philosophy apart from the classics, but Kant's idea of diabolical evil stood out to me. He tries to speak in moral terms, but Kant thinks humans are humans that need to be forced into dutiful thought until they perform duty for its own sake, for instance when you put a rat in a maze it'll seek the cheese. What Kant wants is to train the rat to complete the maze even without the reward and be satisfied by the result. Diabolical evil is the opposite someone who does 'evil' for its own sake, but it's still equally as pure as 'good' things which he doesn't specify outside of following the law. In fact a good action to Kant is something done by pure reason not emotions or desired outcome, so someone who is compulsively sadistic is just as reasonable as someone who is compulsively masochistic. This is the bedrock of continental philosophy btw.
