I'm tired of doomer content. Which philosopher is the most anti-doomer?

>>24808068 (OP)
Leibniz - Monadology. Avoid Spinoza as his philosophy led to totalitarianism.

kierkegaard

What a bogbot

The Plato and Aristo are excellent for anti-doomer sentiment

>>24808068 (OP)
Socrates. Get you're water from the source. If you detect a trace of nihilism or cynicism, you are partaking in something antithetical to philosophy.

Personally speaking, Emerson always brings me out of doomerism.

Utopia is possible if you just genetically engineer everyone to experience maximum pleasure.

Socrates

Literally the greeks you retard. Start with them

>>24809254
I wouldn't necessarily call Plato or Aristotle "anti-doomer" or "doomer" or any other pejoratives.

how?

>>24808689
People say this without actually engaging with the darker aspects of his work
>The human being is this Night, this empty nothing which contains everything in its simplicity – a wealth of infinitely many representations, images, none of which occur to it directly, and none of which are not present. This [is] the Night, the interior of [human] nature, existing here – pure Self – [and] in phantasmagoric representations it is night everywhere: here a bloody head suddenly shoots up and there another white shape, only to disappear as suddenly. We see this Night when we look a human being in the eye, looking into a Night which turns terrifying. [For from his eyes] the night of the world hangs out toward us.

his philosophy also lead to Deleuze which is like the opposite of totalitarianism

Hello, fellow substack writer with no audience. Seeing you having one or two likes per post, like me, made my day.

I hope we both make it. Kind regards.

>>24808068 (OP)
Heraclitus, Nietzsche, Jünger, Lewis Mumford

also read Moby Dick

>>24808068 (OP)
Camus definitely. Surprised only one anon mentioned him
Also Kierkegaard and the Greeks

Rousseau is one of the most optimistic ones

>>24816072
Yes, I took the absurdist pill. Whether god exists or not, I find the philosophy strangely empowering

>>24808068 (OP)
Mainlander because he believes victory and peace for all is inevitable

>>24808390
Where do you start with the Greeks?
Is there a guide or list of books that I could use to help me dive into it?

>>24809773
leibniz also influenced hegel, in fact hegel was working through leibniz to un-refute kant's refutations of leibniz

>>24808189
You know the Cynics were a branch of Socraticism via Antisthenes, right? Same with the Epicureans via Aristippus.

>>24808189
ah yes, socrates famous texts

We could probably make it if we (all) supported one another. Artificially raise viewership and trick the algorithm. Instead, a week from now someone will repost picrel, and America will drag the world into a true idiocracy.

Oh well.

Just tell us you've never read Spinoza, it's easier than embarrassing yourselves like this.
