- Camus- Plato- Stirner- Pirsig- Hesse - Irvin YalomI'm locked into what I read age 19-21 and nothing will ever shift it. Nothing will ever top the year reading cheap penguin books in my parents garden and the reception job where I just had to sit by the cash register all day.

That's a nice investigation to do.I had been influenced by anarchism and marxism when I was younger, so mostly Marx, Proudhon, Ellul and Charbonneau, Thoreau, Reclus, Goldman, Bookchin and Chomsky, then I moved to post-structuralism (mainly Baudrillard, Foucault and Deleuze, and a bit of Barthes, Lyotard and Stiegler father and daughter). I was disgusted by left-wing politics and turned to right-wing material. I first got into René Guénon, then Maritain, Gilson, Marcel de Corte and finally Suárez, which opened the door for Aquinas, Augustine and Descartes, and by swimming upstream, Aristotle and his school.It had the greatest impact on my worldview, not so much on the theological dimension (I have always struggled to admit the existence of God) as on the clarity of exposition and the quality of the demonstration. With thomism, I found a rigorous, cautious mode of reasoning, grounded in a proper exploration of the boundaries of a proposition, whereas others, such as Lacan, wrote in a nebulous style arguments that verge on being sustained only by wordplay and puns. From there, I took a massive leap over Kant, Hegel and all of German idealism (which I skimmed over earlier when reading Marx) and went straight for analytic philosophy, especially Wittgenstein, Carnap, Anscombe and Geach, and Quine to a lesser extent.Now I'm going back through mediaeval and early modern philosophers that I missed (Spinoza, Leibniz, Pico della Mirandola and Pascal being the next milestone) but I will avoid all political philosophy. I also want to get further into Epicureanism and Stoicism (which influenced my way of life a lot through literature). In retrospect, I wish I had never read left-wing authors in my youth and had devoted all that time to building on Aristotle and Plato. It would have been far more fruitful.

Either you think it's perfect which makes you a dogmatist or you actually want to think and refine your worldview in which case you welcome opposing ideas.

>>24979065To "think for yourself", it's basically returning to a philosophical stone age on purpose, and refuse to admit that mankind didn't start with you.

>>24980765You're probably just dreaming it.
>>24978571>>24978576>>24978609Peterson's philosophy is shit and embarrassing, but I respect taking risks in dressing. The Great Male Renunciation was a disaster for fashion, and we can only start to reverse it when men start making clothing interesting again. What he's doing here is infinitely better than the boring "black suit and tie" everyone else does. I will die on this hill
>>24978571in order from my biggest influence to smallestdawkins (on religion and memetics)hume (on empiricism and causality)g.e moore (on negative consequentialism and naturalistic fallacy)nietzsche (on slave morality and small parts of his ubermensch idea)aristotle (on immanent realism)deng (on state capitalism)evola (on idealism (tho im a physicalist) and ancient hero tradition)schopenhauer (on pessimism)jesus (mark 8:36 and matthew 15:11)kevin mitchell (only on greater male variability)peter singer (on moral realism)thinkers that influenced me in the reverse direction:kant (hate his ethics and the idea of "ought implies can", as well as the idea of a synthetic a priori)steven pinker (hate evopsych)sigmund freud (hate psychoanalysis and psychology in general)carl jung (hate the idea of jungian analysis and synchronicities, collective unconcious etc)
>>24981509another one for the last section:all french and non-french existentialists (i hate existentialism, i believe in objective meaning of life)
This board is retarded. I need a more Petersonian community where everyone isn't a demon.
>>24978612I bet you're absolutely insufferable.Anyway, Burke, Hume, Machievelli, Cicero, Le Bon. Schmitt to a certain degree but not without some suspicion.
>>24981041I agree with you, anon, even if I'm not gay. The way he dresses is pretty cool.
>>24981512And what is that?
>>24981593i dont know
>>24981596Then isn't it that believing in an objectively meaningful life is implying and putting subjective meaning on to life itself?
>>24981601not what i saidi said that there is an objective meaning of life, but that i dont know what it is YET, not everything that exists can be understood, at least not immediatelyobviously cats dont understand the theory of gravity, but thats a biological barrieri believe humans might not be smart enough to observe and understand certain things like "true love" or "the meaning of life" due to their brain structure not being advanced enough, they can know that these things are there externally but they cannot access them, same way you could know a 4th spatial dimension COULD exist but still not be able to imagine it due to limits of your brainbut maybe there isnt a biological barrier and rather its simply that it takes a lot of time to analyze and find the true meaning of lifeeither way, i know that the meaning of life involves teleology, aesthetics and morality, and that eventually i might come to find out what it is, but im not fully positive.

no one influences me. im an original thinker
>>24980201i barely know any spanish despite growing up in a spic city but from what deepl is telling me, it sounds like he's trying to say that ideas are rarely truly novel, rather that they come back throughout the ages rephrased. wikipedia (yeah i know i know) says he hates modernity and is studied in germany so it may well be him rephrasing how history runs in cycles except with ideas.
>>24983143I got the "there is nothing new under the sun" idea, as in "same ideas, different names". Nothing ever changes, same voices telling the same things. Ideas are ideas, they don't change guises or customes, that's the confusing part. I guess we may embellish or defile them in a sense, but we do that for the ideas
