Okay unironically WHAT is this nigga even trying to say
>>25333129Probably some ideas pertaining to a pure phenomenology and to a phenomenological philosophy
>>25333129Why do philosophers have such terrible fucking proseOr why do translators of philosophy into English have terrible proseEither one.What is thet greatest prose in English for Philosophy totally regardless of the specific philosophy and beliefs of its writer
>>25333129He was just having ideas my man.

>>25333146Later Wittgenstein
>>25333317Do you mean Wittgenstein near death or are you saying goodbye to Wittgenstein?
>>25333353sorry I should have said ciao Wittgenschtein
>>25333353Are you retarded? He said later not latter.
>>25333317No.
>>25333146Probably Hobbes, I absolutely love the way he writes, and his correspondences are just laden with insults which are pretty funny. Some of his lines are so quotable. From memory:'A person like you isn't even fit to listen to a conversation on the subject of philosophy, never mind partake in one.'[quotes an obscure scholastic passage] 'Who can tell me what these words mean? Is there anyone on earth who can comprehend their meaning?'
>>25333966Hobbes is fucking hilarious, he's almost like a 16th century real life Ignatius Reilly
Does anyone have the post where the anon talks about how he dedicated his entire college career to being a Husserl scholar and now he has to work at a Wendy's?
>>25333146The best prose is by Carlyle and it isn’t remotely close. The reason they’re often so terrible is that they’re only judged on their ability to think and not to get across their teaching. There should be higher aesthetic standards for philosophy. >>25333966So much of Hobbes can be extremely tedious though because he repeats himself so much. >>25333969Husserlanon eventually became a teacher
>>25333969
>>25333129>WHAT is this nigga even trying to sayeven he clearly didn't know seeing as he felt the need to write like 5 different introductions to phenomenology because he kept changing his mind on things. just do neoplatonism and be done with philosophy.
>>25333353kek, good one
>>25335618There does seem to be something immediately ridiculous about his project, but it’s his fidelity to that fundamental act of tolerating a certain quantum of ridicule that seems to give all the analyses the power and strength of conviction. He’s absolutely dedicated to the perfect philosophy. Does he think it’s possible?
>>25333146All the best philosophers are either German or Austrian. The German language is notoriously obtuse and inefficient, but it is nothing if not thorough. Of course when you translate it to English it all goes to complete shit
my supervisor recommended I read this but I'm afraid to become like Husserl Scholar. Also I heard his ultimate explanation for sensibility being intelligible is God, which is a lame cop out.
>>25335484Epitome of the loser man who studies philosophy but does not DO philosophy.
>>25338003He's a PHD with 6 published papers so he evidently has done philosophy
>>25338036yeah but he hasn't exactly developed much of a philosophical mindset about life
>>25338041If you say so
