I take that as a name of honor.
They are important in the development of our intellectual history, but we should move beyond them. Many errors in our way of thinking come from the Greeks and Descartes. Biology and systems science have killed them, but amongst common folk their ideas are still common. By any means, they must be destroyed so the other ideas can grow.

Admittedly, Descartes' ideas on the mind are fundamentally incomplete, and in terms of psychology at the very least, he is as you say: Historically important but obsolete.

You can't throw the Greeks out so easily, though. They are the foundation of the Western canon. So many concepts that are basic to philosophy were first introduced by the Greeks. On some level it's that some of the views they articulated aren't particularly complicated; they were just the first to say them. But you need simple components to form a complex image.

Fair enough, although I've been interested in philosophy and psychology so long that that just seems obvious. Nothing is really obvious, though.

I take greatest issue with his conceptualization of consciousness. The concept of Cogito ergo est, while fair in the spirit of his meaning, is flawed in a variety of ways. For example, "thinking," cognition, is linguistically based, and humans do not develop language without a human society to develop within. Cogito ergo est, in its most literal sense, is simply incorrect, because a human cannot think without this architecture around them. Maybe "I feel therefore I am" or "I experience therefore I am" would be a more accurate framing.

his contributions to economic and sociological thought that revolutionized how we view the world from an academic perspective. His influence is still felt to this day.
Underage memers get marx, particularly his political thought, confused with Leninism and they also try to attack him by saying "hurr he didn't work" when he worked as a journalist and was a highly prolific writer.

Fuck off Molyneux. Marx's retardation starts with the idea that you need to make Hegel stand on his feet, put him on 'solid ground', on the 'objective world' to turn his system into a real science.

Did you get your introduction to Derrida from a Peterson video or some Marxist shithead? Cause either of those is going to distort his project for their own filthy ideological reasons.
The crux of Derrida's body of work is that all thought is metaphysical thought - "there is nothing outside the context". You can't have an 'objective' science, nor a 'continental' philosophy that is somehow emancipated from its metaphysical presuppositions and consequences.
The question he tries to answer, accordingly, isn't how to get out of metaphysics (that's simple, just stop thinking), but how to transform it: "can one treat of philosophy itself (metaphysics itself, that is, ontotheology) without already permitting the dictation, along with the pretension to unity and unicity, of the ungraspable and imperial totality of an order? If there are margins, is there still a philosophy, the philosophy?"

For instance, if you take SEC and Limited inc., two texts he wrote in correspondence to John Searle, he goes to great lengths to show in what ways Searle's conception of common language is full of statements not simply about language, but about the structure of being itself, and in what ways his account of language falls short of the properties Searle himself attributes to it when conceived within his framework.

Marx was a genius and his legacy is the entire 20th century in aggregate. Doesn't mean he wasn't working with an incomplete understanding of value at the time, and doesn't mean he didn't have some wacky ideas. If you vote for him as your favorite you're a faggot, probably moreso than if you vote for him as your least favorite.

Analytical philosophers employed in Academic among all departments still outnumber continental philosophers 10-1, it increases to 20-1 when you only count philosophers employed by the philosophy departments.

And that isn't taking into account that most continental philosophers write in the style of Hume which approaches dangerously close to analytical.

Did you read the reply chain? My point boils down to 'Marx's conception of the search for truth is pre-Kantian, and that same concept still serves, unquestioned, as the 'metaphysical basis' for the projects of many scientists and philosophers of our time, continental and analytic alike'. It is in their denial of metaphysics that they are at their most 'traditionally' metaphysical, and that is exactly that kind of metaphysics which Hegel, and later Derrida, thoroughly discredited. It's not that these systems aren't metaphysics, it's that they are blinded by their lack of self-awareness and mystification.
My argument doesn't lead to the subsumption of metaphysics, because it creates a new specific negation against which it re-affirms its existence.

>literally uses supply and demand to show how laborers wages halved when the labor required by them was halved (his example was clothes-makers and I think the invention of the loom) in the first few chapters of Capital
>wtf Marx never did any economics

I don't know why this seems to be a favored tactic, to say Marx didn't actually say/do something, even when he obviously did. It's like the LTV, which although Marx never used the phrase Labor Theory of Value, he propounded something incredibly similar to it called the Law of Value which related to exchange values. Is the purpose to get people to read Marx or something? idk.

Burt! Another chance encounter! Oh? Your book is selling well, good to hear! Too bad I proved it's incomplete, but it's a useful exercise nonetheless. Anyways, I'll read your musings about a teapot if you'll read my modal proof for the existence of a necessary being; I'm worried about your soul old friend. What? You don't even want to read that crap? Well that's disappointing Burt, I hope you have a nice day though.

Surprisingly decent.
1-25 are all ok even though the order is questionable while 26-45 are all trash (perhaps a bit harsh on Berkeley but I get why he's on the short side).

Well done, /lit/, well done.
I guess OP assumed that Mill was in the darkest pit so he didn't even need to be named.

A clear oversight, but including Newman would stop the anti-Anglo bandwagon.
