A what is wrong with Marx? B. Where the hell is Hegel? If I have to choose from the list I would choose Plato. "The Power of Kant compels you" "The Power of Kant compels you" "The Power of Kant compels you" |

I did not think that he would have been clicked on anyways ... Again sorry all... (If polls could have more than 10 options...) |

Paul wrote: A google search shows that, according to this, Gurdjief is "a Greco-Armenian charismatic con man who was born in Russia but made a name for himself in Paris as the mystic George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff" who "promoted a litany of preposterous occult and mystical notions about the universe, which he claimed he was taught by wise men while traveling and studying in Central Asia. [...] He allegedly exuded extreme self-confidence and exhibited no self-doubt, traits which must have been comforting to many people. His teachings, however, often seem like the delusions of a Gnostic madman." . As much as I do not agree with Gurdjief, I do not think that you clicked on the most unbiased site (skepdic.com). In all due respects to skepticism and all, some revolutionary ideas are usually ridiculed and rejected at first.... |

I was torn between Aristotle and Kant, but decided to go with Aristotle because his work has the added bonus of legibility

I woted for Kant. But where has Schopenhouer gone. Am I the only one who thinks his world as will and representation is the iceberg of all philosophy. |
