Hey!! I know you’ve answered this before, but what philosophers/people in general do you think is essential reading? I’ve followed you for a while and I really admire you and your ideas, so I wanna get more of a solid basis for philosophy to understand your writing. Thank you and have a wonderful day!!! 🙏🏼 😊
This is very eurocentric but try this order for some bare bones crash course shit that reflects how I came to where I am. Includes theology cuz thats just the philosophy of the time.
Plato > Aristotle > Pseudo-Dionysus > Various Dessert Fathers > Abelard > Aquinas > Luther > Calvin > Descartes > Bacon > Spinoza > Leibniz > Hobbes > Locke > Hume > Kant > Hegel > Schopenhauer > Nietzsche > Marx > Lenin > Luckacs > Adorno > Derrida > Foucault > Butler
If you do all that, you will have a foundation to build off of to read most things in the western canon. I’m gonna be honest, this is about as bare bones as I can make this, but this is a curriculum I would teach as a like 2 year crash course in western philosophy
Like if you read this its not that you will be done, its that you will know most the important thinkers and shifts in ideas which most people are replying to, and certainly will be able to dabble in contemporary philosophical literature
I can’t attest to these translations but try this out, added a few figures:
Plato: Symposium, Phaedo, Phaedrus, Republic
Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics, Physics
Pseudo-Dionysius: The Mystical Theology
Dessert Fathers: Selections From The Sayings of The Dessert Fathers
Augustine: City of God, Confessions
Abelard: Letters of Abelard and Heloise, The Story of My Misfortunes
Aquinas: Summa Theologica
More to come…
Luther: 95 Theses
Calvin: The Institutes of Christian Religion
Descartes: Meditations
Bacon: The Essays of Francis Bacon
Spinoza: The Ethics
Leibniz: Philosophical Essays, The Monadology
Again, more to come…
Hobbes: Leviathan
Locke: Second Treatise on Government , Essay Concerning Human Understanding
Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
Kant: Critique of Pure Reason
Hegel: Philosophy of Right, Phenomenology of Spirit
Schopenhauer: World As Will and Idea, Essays
Nietzsche: The Gay Science, On The Genealogy of Morality
Marx: basically everything
Lenin: State and Revolution
Luckacs: History and Class Consciousness, What Is Orthodox Marxism
Adorno: Negative Dialectics
Derrida: Of Grammatology, Limited Inc
Foucualt: History of Sexuality, Discipline and Punish
Butler: Gender Trouble, Undoing Gender, Precarious Life

What’s attractive about a man who isn’t excited as hell to be with you? Who doesn’t smile when you walk up? Who doesn’t hold your hand? Who isn’t all in?
What’s attractive about a man who is too prideful to just let go and love? What’s attractive about an emotionally unavailable man?This is one of my favorite post on here. Like yes. I’m making this my header.

shout outs to ppl who actually take selfies in public. i don’t know why we mock them, that’s a level of confidence and not giving a fuck that i want to achieve one day
not to be a downer but your twenties are super hard and super lonely and tv lied and it’s not glamorous at all and if you are having a hard time it’s ok and it’s normal and you’ll be ok
But hey, honestly? Your thirties will probably be a lot better. TV lied to you, your life doesn’t end in your thirties and you’ll probably be more financially stable and give a lot fewer fucks about pretty much everything.
All I’m living for tbh
If ever there was a paragraph that described Canadian-Brand Racist Jackassetry, THIS IS VERY IT.
‘When you believe niceness disproves the presence of racism, it’s easy to start believing bigotry is rare, and that the label racist should be applied only to mean-spirited, intentional acts of discrimination. The problem with this framework–besides being a gross misunderstanding of how racism operates in systems and structures enabled by nice people–is that it obligates me to be nice in return, rather than truthful. I am expected to come closer to racists. Be nicer to them. Coddle them.’
It’s so good to see this articulated!
