Hello Yea Forums friends. Let's have a comfy philosophy thread. Recommend philosophy to me. Discuss philosophy. I like Ancient Greeks, Modern Germans, and Postmodern frogs. Where should I go next? Is Badiou worthwhile? (Ignore politics) Is Laruelle worthwhile? (If so, where to start?) What else is new? (Malabou worthwhile?)

The kind of shit that Mathematicians explore is much crazier than what continental philosophers write, yet nobody ever calls Mathematicians "charlatans" or "fakers".

postmodern frogs are a waste of time. modern germans less so, but still a waste.
what's wrong with the greeks? they asked questions that haven't been answered yet. the closest we've come is the aforementioned, and they had to resort to politics and rhetoric not good solid reason. don't let them lead you astray before you've taken your own whack at it.

If you have tried German idealism, and French existentialism, but didn't go through the intervening Phenomenology schools, then it's recommend you read Brentano and Husserl , with at least one other from the same current, such as Meinong or Adolf Reinach.
Oliver Mitchell
continuing this thought:
honestly you should go for the scholastics. Aquinas, Dun Scotus, Eriugena, those guys may answer your thirst for wisdom, but more likely just set you onto questions you won't be able to abandon for any modern "thinker."

Hum, plenty do. Mathematicians and physicians are insanely prone to charlatanerie when it comes to discussing ontology or ethics or anything philosophical, really. Lawrence Krauss, Degrasse Tyson and many others specifically target philosophy to in their attacks, so we have ot much choice but to, up to some point, engage and denounce them.

The human mind is probably meant to live in the world, make tools, observe phenomena on a scale similar to their bodies, not to explain what exactly the universe and everything in it is.

Good thread OP. Dont let the deplorables of this board turn you away from the postmodern frogs. Badiou is great, about to start the Communist Hypothesis.
Baudrillard is not exactly a postmodern, but if you haven't tried him, I really recommend starting with the System of Objects.
