For some reason, I remember Aristotle used to be your favorite. I've never read a lot of Kant, he produced so many works. CPR, Prolegomena, and the Critique of Practical Reason are all I've read.Nietzsche and Kant, the best ones — Wosret
I don't bother about grammatical errors lol, why so paranoid? :P I just misunderstood.Do you genuinely misunderstand that, or trying to get me back on some grammatical error? — Wosret
Ok got you now. I would agree, mostly it's just Heidegger/Wittgenstein within the last century, though some people also give greater importance to folk like Russell.but few significant people have (come out in the last century or so). — Wosret
Strange, I always liked Plato, simply because he is fun to read generally. A very cool way to read philosophy, the dialogues that is.I used to think that Plato was a total ass too, but I've gotten more appreciation for him. — Wosret
Yeah, I quite like A and K myself, not sure about Nietzsche though. I used to really like him when I first read him, but ever since then, I don't find his ideas as revolutionary as I first found them. Birth of Tragedy is probably my favourite of his works, don't much like BGE, TSZ, or Genealogy that much (nor Human all too human, or Twilight of the Idols for that matter :P ). Birth of Tragedy is good for the "discovery" of the Dyonisian element and the role it plays.Aristotle is still like third, he's super awesome too, but I just hadn't come to appreciate and fully absorb the other two yet. — Wosret
Didn't have Gulag Archipelago on Kindle. This is pretty good though. Also got a sample of Street's Oyama ontogeny of info recommend. — Baden
