Aristotle and Fichte are my go to guys. No one else I’ve read so far reaches their power level.

Fichte’s is more autistic. He says yes OF COURSE you should tell the murderer where your friend is hiding, that part goes without saying. But then you need to engage the criminal in moral dialectics to convince him to change his mind. If he attacks you anyway, you have a duty to fight back, but only to the point of disarming him because it’s wrong to kill people. Meanwhile you have to invoke the state’s protection contract by hollering “Help! Help!” at the top of your lungs. If the murderer kills you and your friend after all that, at least you died following the dictates of Reason. I’m not even memeing this is exactly what he says. Brilliant philosopher but he had severe autism.

Experience is one thing, science is another. Science is not opposed to experience, it doesn’t rob experience of its immediacy and vitality, but it helps you make some sense of these things, and seeking science is an experience in itself. I highly recommend picrel as a light and readable introduction to speculative philosophy.
