its a shame how we don't really learn about philosophy and philosophers much in high school... the closest class they provide for that field is psychology at our school... i personally am not one to really find intrest in philosophy but it does spark some intrest and its sad that such a great class isn't offered to students... personally i know some of the greek/roman philosophers (mainly the famous ones everyone in the whole damn world knows) and marx, hobbes, descartes (didn't he invent some mathematical formula? i ferget), and such... but as for the others its my first time hearing about them... i feel deprived already...

hey by the way was freud a philosopher? or was he a psychotic psychologist? haha dunno...

yeah, we really only have one class that could feasibly be called a philosophy class. It really isn't because we never learn about them at all, it's just a discussion class where we talk about it, called Theory of Knowledge. Anyway, philosophers that you'd hear about in that class have pretty much been named: Marx, Artistotle, Plato, Spinoza, Freud, Descartes, Kant. It's a really western class despite how much they say it's not. It's a nice class though

Reverend Thomas Malthus, and he wasn't much of a philosopher, he just had warped views on overpopulation. He didn't encourage mass killings, just condoned "population controllers."

FIGHT CLUB!

and you open that door and you step inside
we're inside our hearts
now imagine your pain is a white ball of healing light
that's right, that's your pain
the pain itself is a white ball of healing light
-lady at church

"This is your life
good to the last drop
doesn't get any better than this
this is your life
and its ending one minute at a time"

"this isn't a seminar, this isn't a weekend retreat
where you are now, you can't even imagine what the bottom looked like
only after disaster can we be ressurected
its only after you've lost everything, that you're free to do anything
nothing is static
everything is evolving
everything is falling apart"

"you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
you are the same decaying organic matter as everything else
we are all part of the same compost heap
we are the all singing all dancing crap of the world"

"you are not your bank account
you are not the clothes you wear
you are not the contents of you wallet
you are not your bowel cancer
you are not your friday latte
you are not the car you drive
you are not your fucking khakis"

"you have to give up"

"you have to realize that someday you will die
until you know that you are useless"

"i say let me never be complete
i say may i never be content
i say deliver me from swedish furniture
i say deliver me from clever arts
i say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth
i say you have to give up
i say evolve and let the chips fall wear the may"

"you are not your job
you're not how much money you have in the bank
you're not the car you drive
you're not the contents of your wallet
you're not your fucking khakis
you are the all singing all dancing crap of the world"

Well we learned about Rousseau and he seemed really cool. But then my friend pointed out that he had sex with a 13 yr. old milk maid repeatedly. :sad:



Voltare seems really cool too. He was a jerk but if you go around believing every rumor you hear, you'll end up with no friends.

the only reason i can see aristotle so great is because he dismissed so many of plato's flawed ideals. Plato wrote some good stuff, but from what i've learned his whole "world of ideals" clouds over his "republic" stuff. I'm sure he did more, but from my limited knowledge, i think he was far too much into spirituality to be accepted today for what it is. I mean, it was all so theoretical, not that that's a bad thing but i can't believe that today. I'm sure aristotle did other great things, but that's all i know him for pretty much.

I don't think voltaire or einstein were really philosophers. Voltaire was a satirist, and Einstein was a physicist. Although, I suppose if you really want to consider their works philosophy you could.

nobody mentions Adam Smith???
too bad, he is the father of economics

school doesn't teach much, but my social studies teach was a economist himself, so he talks alot of him.
