Can we make starting with the Germans a thing? I'd like this.
Germans made philosophy the autistic logical mess we know and love. How about it?
Aside from Aristotle and Socrates/Plato, the Greeks are largely irrelevant and read like damned self-help platitudes, i.e. not like the philosophy we adore (the systematic and un-ending logical and linguistical masturbation which deepens our understanding.

Kill yourself. Saged on all fields.
Half the Greeks based their philosophies on deities, the other half rejected all externals because of their nature, solely because of it. There are obviously exceptions but the majority of Greek philosophy is a waste of time (well, what isn't?), but really the Greeks mostly should just be used for reference/historical contextual purposes.

So, you know the enlightenment era germans are pretty heavily dependant on the greeks right?
You're an idiot, the end game of philosophy is to be as universally colloquial as possible and find the path of least resistance to getting truth across, go circle jerk about being Yoda elsewhere.

given that there is no german empiricist, you can bet that german philosophy is more nihilist than any other one
