>>
>>7454445
Epictetus

His life was so JUST, he got used to being JUSTed aka being stoic.
There's a story that when a thief stole his iron lamp, he just proclaimed that he'll get a clay one.

If you dont have problems with women youre not a real philosopher

Examples heidegger, stirner, nietzsche, kierkegaard
And on the other hand shartre and campoo

>>7454445
Aquinas.

>Gave up life of wealth and privilege to join begging order

>Was locked in a tower for a year by his family because of this, refused to change his mind

>When sent a prostitute to tempt him he chased her out with a burning stick from the fire

>Was renowned for his humility

>Dedicated all his works to the glory of God

>Wrote numerous songs and poems praising God and the Blessed Virgin Mary

>Levitated when praying

>Given visions from God

>When asked by by Christ "Thomas, you have written well of Me; what reward do you ask for your labor?" he replied "None other, Lord, but Thyself."
>>
>>7454959
Aquinas seems the opposite of JUST 2bh seeing as he got what he wanted and lived a pretty spiritually fulfilling life.
>>

what's stirner's story?
>>
>>7454966
Are you using "just" in some retarded internet way? Because otherwise what you said doesn't follow.
>>
>>7454445

this is why i don't take philosophers seriously, regardless of their lofty ideas they can't seem to put them into practice and live good, healthy and fulfilling lives

Heidegger was a çuck, Kierkegaard sabotaged himself cause he was autistic, Nietzsche spent all his time tipping his fedora, Stirner had low-testosterone and couldn't maintain an erection

i mean come on
>>
>>7454977
He used his wife's inheritance on a milk business that bombed so badly he blew the whole thing and then she left him, converted to catholicism and died in London.

Stirner's wife was the one that got JUSTed.
>>
>>7454893
but Sartres philosophy wasn't too different from Heidegger

Heidegger seemed to be happy. Kierkegaards answer all along was just to side with god which he did. Nietzsche was a nutcase who loved to suffer and barely anything is known about Stirners personal life or happyness
>>
>>7455040

Heidegger had affairs with at least two of his students while he was married, and he told his wife about them. Also they were both Jews, fucked em and dumped em

That's why you need to go with ancient and medieval era philosophers. They all followed what they said and were bosses.

Modern philosophers were/are wimps.

And this is why you guys are fucking retarded. Being a good coach doesn't mean you'll be a good player
>>
>>7455348
But that's a shitty analogy.
There's no real difference between a philosopher and a normal person that would stop them from acting on their philosophy whereas a coach is going to be far less athletic than a player.

It just seems like a shitty cop-out when you had philosophers like Epictetus who actually practised their philosophy in hard times and gained something tangible out of it.

David Hume in France.
>>
>>7455398
The analogy was comparing philosophers and people to coaches and players.
The difference between coaches and players is physiological and mental.

The difference between philosophers and people isn't like that, in fact the philosopher's mindset would be conducive to practise what he preaches, but he doesn't? Is it because he's a shitty hack who spouts big ideas but too cowardly to put them into practise?

>what do you want? a peer reviewed study or something?
No, I want you to post opinions with reasonings behind them.

>Would you not expect the guy who actually came up the ideas to be the walking representation of them?
Would you continue expecting this even after finding out its not the case for a large majority of them as previously established with examples in this thread? Maybe reconsider this in light of the evidence provided instead of bullheadedly believing it because it appealled to you.
>>
>>7455405

This. Whether or not you accept Hume's thought or not (I don't necessarily), the difference between himself and Rousseau is perhaps the best historical contrast of a good philosopher with a shitty philosopher.

it started with barber meme where people posted images of people with shitty haircuts and then doing a made-up conversation with the barber implying that they asked for it.

Then someone shooped Brendan Fraser with red eyes and shitty hair with the captions

because he has to pay $50,000 every month in alimony to his wife.

No major philosopher save Socrates has ever killed himself.

And I would imagine, there's a similar mindset that writers would have - but there suicide rate is far higher?

Is that down to cowardice? Or perhaps a more fulfilling way of examining life? Bertrand Russel penned it beautifully, "the value of philosophy is it's uncertainty" - it's an open field to contemplate all kinds of paths, and work out the ethos you need. All the philosophers you mentioned achieved something, and I think, were happy with that kind of inner enlightenment.

Marcus Aurelius was Emperor at the height of Rome's power, but never let that power corrupt him. In fact he didn't want to be Emperor in the first place, but was eventually convinced to become Emperor to help Rome.
