Ok all you philosophy hipsters, who's the philosopher you really enjoy and think had some great things to say, but just never got the recognition they deserved?
Santayana for me, I find his materialism coupled with his intense love of the arts and humanities really appealing. I have a feeling that if modern popular atheism has followed his lead rather than Russell, we'd be better off.
Who are some others? I want some great, not as well known, dudes to read.

Anyone who says stefan molynuex is gay.
Crates of Thebes
He turned the antisocial Cynicism of Diogenes around and into what his student Zeno called Stoicism.
>But Crates with only his wallet and tattered cloak laughed out his life jocosely, as if he had been always at a festival.
>He used to enter the houses of his friends, without being invited or otherwise called, in order to reconcile members of a family, even if it was apparent that they were deeply at odds. He would not reprove them harshly, but in a soothing way, in a manner which was non-accusatory towards those whom he was correcting, because he wished to be of service to them as well as to those who were just listening.

Agreed. Now let's talk about how LeBron James is the most underrated basketball player...
Gasset anyone?

I love the sniffman, but LeBron just might be THE greatest player ever. I get the joke, but Zizek isn't the LeBron of philosophy.

I still host the thread on /x/ like I always have I just guess my OPs needed to be deleted to make room for more "history of weed" threads and "[mainstream christian faction] General" because we obviously don't have enough of either.

meme philosopher, but I like him and Montaigne's impartiality towards rigorous philosophy.

Santayana isn't hipster
Misrepresented, misunderstood.
And up until this point no canonic figure has improved upon his philosophy.

Do you even Cioran?
>>1369113
>boring
>metaphysics
I didn't know metaphysics was supposed to appeal to your aesthetic pleasures.
>>1369132
Boring in regard to Nietzsche's own philosophies, which included a fair amount on aesthetics. He would have already despised Heideggar for whoring himself to the Nazis, but reading a few chapters of his monotonous and useless drivel would have just sealed his opinion.
I think de Benoist is one of the most interesting philosophers alive today and it annoys me he's so marginalised. Also one of the most learned scholars of Schmitt

You cannot possibly know anything that you just wrote, you pseudo-intellectual.

Stop, just stop. You need to read Being & Time, nub
Jacques Maritain. Thomism is underrated
