Re: Philosopher's Highest Score on the LSAT
Im still perturbed by the lack of Descartes option/discussion, but Popper is probably the TCR. The dude is basically the lawyer's scientist. There's a good chance there he'd get an RC passage about himself, but if not, he's still set, as the other science passages are pretty derivative of his writings...and the humanities stuff isn't far off either usually. More importantly, he OWNS correlation ≠ causation shitMachineLemon wrote:Poor Karl Popper with zero votes. That guy was actually brilliant. Too bad nobody on here's an LSD fan.

I don't like Popper's reading of Plato; my 2 cents

No Plato? No Epicurious? No Zino of Citium? No Avicenna? No Confucius? No Rene Decartes? No Paul of Tarsus? Aristotle is probably #1, but any of these people could be agrued at #2.

I don't know enough about philosophy to really say anything, but I have always really liked J.S. Mill if he counts as a philosopher.

I still think, though, that in terms of pure intellectual horsepower, Aristotle is the most naturally gifted thinker ever to live.
Surely Kant and Hegel are up there, too.
And if you're wondering about the qualifications I have to make such pronouncements, I assure you, I am both a gentleman and a scholar.

No, especially not Descartes...have you actually read and dissected his argument with the causal adequacy principle that he uses to prove God's existence?PDaddy wrote:No Plato? No Epicurious?

would have been happier if the ancient philosophers' names were spelled correctly...Epicurus and Zeno. Zeno, I'd have to say does have great logical reasoning although the fact that you named him without even mentioning Parmenides makes me sad too.
I do not think any of these people can be the #2 philosopher of all time, to be honest. Zeno, perhaps, but not the rest.
ETA: "epicurious" sounded familiar - turns out it's an app

Heidegger couldn't himself come up with 5 cogent or even coherent arguments for anything, so asking someone to defend him is a mighty task indeed.

Re: Philosopher's Highest Score on the LSAT
i like to picture hegel and schopenhauer taking it in the same room. they both get 180's, but hegel goes home in a sports car with some fine ladies he met at the test; schopenhauer, on the other hand, forgets his bus pass, steps in gum. so, we know who the real winner is

i was thinking more Nietzsche and Shopenhauer, but, yes, i'd say Shopenhauer will get screwed in one way or another on test day so no 180 for him.charliep wrote:i like to picture hegel and schopenhauer taking it in the same room. they both get 180's, but hegel goes home in a sports car with some fine ladies he met at the test; schopenhauer, on the other hand, forgets his bus pass, steps in gum. so, we know who the real winner is

Schopenhauer would argue there is no difference between 120 and 180, they are just both manifestations of the Will.99.9luft wrote:i was thinking more Nietzsche and Shopenhauer, but, yes, i'd say Shopenhauer will get screwed in one way or another on test day so no 180 for him.charliep wrote:i like to picture hegel and schopenhauer taking it in the same room. they both get 180's, but hegel goes home in a sports car with some fine ladies he met at the test; schopenhauer, on the other hand, forgets his bus pass, steps in gum. so, we know who the real winner is

nietzsche's probably the only person on the list who is dumb enough to copy off of rand.
where's hume? i'd say the guy who invented 'correlation is not causation' flaw deserves to be on this list.

On Rand's Non-Fic; Virtue of Selfishness is simply moralized Rousseau beaten over the head with a stupid club.
