>Ivy league and Russell group colleges/universities forced millions of humanities students to read pic related from the 90's onwards.Which one was most influential on post cold war liberalism?"the end of history...." obviously had more impact on international relations but i suspect the influence of "theory of justice" has been more ...... insidious.
>both idealist garbageWhere do people with humanities degrees even work?
It's kinda amazing to consider there are people paying to be brainwashed with subversive lies.Not that studying economics would be any different.What are other examples of such fields?
>>528039307>Where do people with humanities degrees even work?Most of the political classes (from local to national politicians, from lowly civil-servants to senior state mandarins) aged under 55 would have at least a passing familiarity with both books. If they took a humanities course in an elite anglophone college or university they would most likely have read both books.I think people are fairly aware of the influence of "the end of history....." not so much the influence of rawls' work.I was certainly a requirement for me to read bot when i was in university
>>528039447>What are other examples of such fields?>the rutherford model of the atom in physics.lies."End of history ....."is really peculiar as it demonstrably failed in its analysis and understanding of post cold war international relations...... and yet its still held in high regard. Fukuyama has completely distanced himself from it
Looking at the list social sciences definitely seem sussy, but there's some potential to this, like sociology.Then there's philosophy of course. What's supposed to be the point in even studying this? It's like studying religion.>congrats you can larp about some shit you don't understandGotta figure that shit out by yourself, but I don't mean to imply this necessarily accomplishes much either.>>528039797Just reading them isn't too bad as long as you file them under "negative examples".Actually getting influenced by this thought is fatal and presumably common.Idealism has always been retarded, and rather obviously so, but I guess there's a certain urge in people, especially intellectuals, to try escape the harshness of reality and materialist views, whereupon it amounts to a religion of sorts.Having idealist beliefs is practically incompatible with success, but there's utility in espousing such views without holding them yourself, so clearly it doesn't hurt to know about it if you're an evil subversive cunt.

>>528040034Not that it's too problematic people have an incorrect idea of what atoms look like.>it actually looks like a ball or cloud thing!Not very helpful, and at least the nucleus is real, in a way.The thing that honestly scares me more than idealist philosophy is economics.It's like learning to play D&D. I can only pray there are some people who don't take it too seriously.It's kinda disturbing to think that there are academic degrees mainly concerned with destroying reality in some form or other, be it people's perception, interactions, concepts, systems and so on.>shit totally out of touch that serve only to fight and undermine other people or either make slaves or become slavesGuess sociology shares some of that potential, but I'm not sure how evil-focused or delusional it usually is.Right.. what makes all this so grave is that the fields actually are of critical importance to society.>but they teach you delusional garbageNo wonder we're fucked, desu.
