I'm educated quite well thank you. It doesn't stop me classifying all philosophy I have ever come into contact with as linguistic wankery. Some of it is quite amusing but all is of less use than that large pile of dung there
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I looked thru all four pages just to see if anyone had mentioned HEGEL

fuck, I hate that useless idiot

books full of crap to rationalise feelings of superiority and to glorify the fatherland. Dialectics, what a pantload.

Pray, what Marxist School? Many so called Marxists have read little more than the Manifest. I take it you have better credentials.

I still have trouble deciding between my bottom three : plato (his own stuff as opposed to the Socrates original), Aristotle and Blaise Pascal.

It's spelt Marx just read it off the poster i have of him on my bedroom wall. :awesome: :D

Neither of them are philosophers but political theorists regardless of what you think of there theories.

I'm of the opinion that most philosophers are wanky naval gazers that say alot about nothing that matters in the greater scheme of things.

Although Alain De Botton annoys the shit out of me most of all fuck off with your poncy crap.
Interesting, because if you make that distinction, plato might go down into "political theorist" down from "philosopher", since his pet subject was the perfect state and the nature and motive of Laws...
