how can they be one or the other? philosophy is just mental masturbation considering it's all subjective. anything you debate with objectivity =/= philosophy

Philosophy needs it's own internal metaphysics with a logic that doesn't contradict reality. Sure it deals in things that can't be tested, but so does theoretical math doesn't it?

At least with Socrates it's easy to prove him wrong or right; with these faggots any opinion is as good as another. Very postmodern but not very wise.

All these fellas only lend support to OP's claim. They're just obscure, self-important, fuckers trying to sound deep. Most of them in reality said almost nothing, or simply tried too hard to sound original and brilliant without actually engaging in rigorous intellectual deliberation, and as such only said very little (as opposed to simply nothing).

Most of the good philosophers were analytic philosophers. E.g. WITTGENSTEIN, KRIPKE, Quine, A.J. AYER, JOHN SEARLE, CHOMSKY, RICHARD MONTAGUE, GEORGE LAKOFF, Alfred Korzybski (arguably not analytic, but he doesn't really fit into a category).

Besides them, there was still a large number of great continentals, and there were a few sociologists/anthropologists that were basically philosophers. E.g. Jurgen Habermas, MERLEAU-PONTY, MARY DOUGLAS, PETER BERGER, THOMAS LUCKMANN, Durkheim, Simmel, Sartre, Husserl, Heidegger, Louis Hjelmslev, etc.

Capital letters are used to indicate philosophers that I personally really like (obviously there are quite a few).

not incorrect. just pointless. I don't see how fist-fucking as something significant that reflects anything about the 21st century. You replaced your genitals with your fingers/fist. so? what is the point he's trying to make here? that the 21st century person is more sexually liberated?

Would you care/be interested if somebody understood the nature of reality, society, etc many years (possibly hundreds) before it was proven by science? It's mental masturbation but its fun, just like physical masturbation.

... Of course yes. Did you even read Sisyphus?

And that Sisyphus famous quote is interesting. I don't think he's such a great philosopher but I must admit his work is very interesting.

He's the only really good one.
Analytic philosophers are good but they're trying to describe a very specific thing.
Foucault has a lot of ideas for many of the important aspects of society and so much of what he said is true.
