Please explain this to me

Picture is of Richard Rorty and basically we were arguing over more valid interpretations over Nietzsche. Rorty would say that no one interpretation is closer to the nature of his theories then the others because he is full of vacillations. So what's the point of arguing over it?

The quote reads "I wanted to take revenge on the bullies at school in my own way"
that part confuses me

[Joeshan520]

Once Nietzsche wrote the words "There is no truth...." I thought to myself why does anyone even listen to this guy. Isn't him saying there is no truth a truth. The guy should have been laughed off the philosophers circuit right then and there, instead we now have people arguing whether he is a realitivist or not.

It's not that Nietzsche is saying there is no truth, it's that he's saying there is no Truth (absolute truth). His theory explores the nature of Truth as a socially constructed phenomenon based on interpretation and how the notion of Truth (in religion, politics, etc.) has been used to destroy the will of the individual to create and to form humans into debased herd animals. That's what makes him important.

It's the only picture I could find of him looking like a bear squatting in the woods.

late to the party, but this thread needs MOAR Marx. Marx would have 180'ed that shit on behalf of the proles.

Foucault should get a special mention as well.

To all the Ayn Rand trolls, you're trolls without even knowing it. "Ideology" equaling "false consciousness" applies to you.

People need to get on board with Heidegger's Nazism =/= "personal failings." I suggest Pierre Bourdieu's "Political Ontology of Martin Heidegger." Philosophy cannot be separated from the economic, social, and political contexts in which it is done. The rest is bourgeois circle-jerking.

I wonder, do all trolls wait until their views are attacked before they start troll-lol-loling?

Good question, as I recall you took up the Randian banner after numerous posters dismissed her insane inclusion on the list of seminal philosophers.

That's my point exactly.

Well in that case you win a lot of brownie points from me (also, lets take note, brownies are delicious, possibly above sheetcake and cupcake points, but below cheesecake and chocolate mousse points).

[Antilles Haven]

Ayn Rand would have gotten a 153.

How do I get those sweet sweet chocolate mousse points?

Well, to get those points from me, you'd have to write a cogent essay unifying Marxian and late Foucauldian philosophies of history (i.e. economic cum social history + genealogy). The task is more difficult than I can bear.

Alternatively, you can be into craft beer or general brohomie (bro +bonhomie).


I've been heavily drinking at this point. Will regret this poast in the morning.

I recommend Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. Best beer I've ever had.

[/quote] I recommend Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. Best beer I've ever had.[/quote]

MicDiddy, I like you. But Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat is non-peer beer. It's like saying you like Bluemoon.

Try Hoegaarden. Try Allagash White. Try Sierra Nevade Kellerwise Hefewiezen. Try ANY wheat beer from Belgium or Germany or any reputable American craft brewery (Goose Island, Ommegang, Russian River, etc.).

The above is not snobbery or elitism. It's meant to put you on the path of delectable deliciousness that is real craft beer. I work in a craft-beer bar with over 100 taps, I've tasted 1000s of beers. The world of beer awaits you.

Apologies for completely and utterly derailing this thread. But not really.

I still think Foucault and maybe Giorgio Agamben should get some special, contemporary mentions.

[RedBirds2011]

Hoegaarden is fucking delicious. Also, there's a beer thread lol

I have tried each of the three beers you recommended, and I do like all three. I also like Blue Moon fwiw. Generally, I like everything Hefewiezen as well.

Do you like Boonts? Another one of my faves (basically any Boonts for that matter).

I actually have not had Boonts (at least the Amber Ale, if that's what you're referring to). Seems like it's gotten decent reviews on beeradvocate.com. I've not been terribly impressed with AVBC's Belgian styles, specifically their Dubbel and Tripel, but then again, I'm a hardcore Belgian beerphile, and hard to please.

I commend this turn in discussion. What do people think of Habermas and post-marxism? I think Habermas would be a solid 172.
