is this the most influential man of the 20th century to bless the humanities and rhetoric on the human condition?
What is hey trying to convey with his trenchcoat collar popped, and the cigarette?
History will remember Peter, not Chris

Bullshit, Christopher has proven far more popular and influential than his brother. Not that Peter is an idiot or anything.

Which is why I said HISTORY will remember Peter.

Not in the least. Try Russell, Popper, Kuhn, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Arendt, de Beauvoir, Lukacs, Benjamin, Braverman, Thompson, and a host of other scholars who published seminal monographs.
>>293412
And why would that be?
>>293420
Peters ideas are timeless.
Chris appealed to the "new atheist" collation, of which none of them read his books.

what about Sam Harris?

Not sure about that. I wouldn't say either Hitchens brother was startlingly original. Difference being that Christopher sold a couple million copies of God is Not Great and I don't think Peter has encountered that level of success. I'd be surprised if either of them is paid much attention 100 years from now but if I had to bet money on who'd be brought up more often it'd be Christopher.

No, [spoiler]Chomsky[/spoiler] is

>de Beauvoir, Lukacs, Benjamin
These people are only known within extreme leftist circles, nobody else knows who they are.

Thomas Sowell already destroyed Chomsky (RIP)

That he's edgy as fuck.
YEP. he single handedly destroyed religion esp. christian apologetics.

Benjamin is the go to for liberal bourgeois who want to think Culture is Significant in literary and cultural criticism.
de Beauvoir is a standard existentialist and mostly read for liberal feminism.
Lukacs ought to be known by every 4th year literary criticism student, and every continental philosopher. Just like one must read Heidegger.

I.e only select people, like radical leftists.
>>293375
Dude cigarettes LMAO. Probably thought he was edgy and cool.
>>293650
He's posing like Albert Camus dude.

Well congratulations, you got yourself cancer. Now what's the next step up of your master plan?

Crashing this religion... with no survivors!

No, because he was more influential in the 21st century.
Scruton is superior imotbh

More like crashing this sports car am I right?

Gore Vidal was superior to him in every way.
