I would like to have an academic understanding of philosophy. I am especially interested in metaphysics, as well as jurisprudence.I also vehemently despise Kant(take that as you will)(picrel is what I am currently reading)
>>23317273OP- I would like to add that I still want a general overview of philosophy, preferably in textbook format.
>>23317273>I also vehemently despise KantWhat am I supposed to take from this?
>>23317273How can you justify despising a philosopher while asking for introductory textbooks?
>>23317273as oft quoted on this board, start with the greeks! but for an intro textbook, you can try the problems of philosophy -- bertrand russell
>>23317354because his ideas directly lead to post-modernism, a philosophy I find utterly ridiculous.
>>23317394Oh, so Randian shit via Stephen Hicks or Jordan Peterson, got it. Don't bother with philosophy then.
>>23317428lmao, you sound like a spiteful fool
>>23317473You sound like a rube who needs to listen to what other people say rather than read for yourself and let the arguments do the work.
>>23317493ha, and you sound like some pretentious snob, sitting in their little ivory tower.
Sounds like you're just going to project whatever culture war bullshit you've been indoctrinated in. Start with the Greeks, it's gonna be a long project, but you're going to come out with some knowledge of philosophy, or you give up and go back to Youtube Shorts culture war ragebait.
>>23317527>i wanna read about metaphysics>i will not read kant because muh pomo globohomo>totally not a pretentious pseud myself, btw
>>23317394Post modernism is not a single school of philosophy. That would be like saying I hate the philosophy of classicism or modernism. Not to mention that postmodernism is generally defined as anti-modernism so a thinker like Kant, a modernist, would be disdained by them in the first place. You should lay off the right wing youtube friend.
>>23317394I thought Hegel was the new boogieman of right wing YouTube (despite probably being equally important for conservatism)
>>23317618>>23317564>>23317651fine, I surrender- I will read Kant
Some elitism is just insisting that you don't call a choice definitive when it was made without knowing most of the options.
nigga just read philosophers works then read books about their works. just fucking read more use google or library genesis or anything u faggot!!!!! go to the FUCKING LIBRARY FAGGOT!!! DO SOMETHING YOURSELF INSTEAD OF WANTING EVERYTHING SPOON FED INTO YOUR GAPING MAW OF LAZINESS. YOUR MANNER OF GOING ABOUT THINGS WILL CHOKE AND DIE BY TRYING TO CONSUME TOO MUCH AT ONCE
