Hegel

my school removed all white authors from the syllabus

I was working on the topic of love/charity starting with the problem as it appeared in the Middle Ages: Does true love mean achieving one's interest or, on the contrary, forfeiting one's interest to achieve the interest of the one loved?
I tried to root out of Aquinas work a general theory of love based on the ability of rationnal agents to understand themselves as parts of the whole universe and, therefore, as having an imperative to love all the other beings able to understand themselves as such parts, ie all beings gifted with rationnality.
It worked amazingly well to an extent, which interested me the most: in the Summa Theologica, demons are excluded from such an imperative of love despitebeing gifted with rationnality and, in the text itself, such a position is not justified by any philosophical reason (which is rare with Thomas, particularly on the matter of love, where he mainly refers to Aristotle) but purely on dogma.

demons are christcuck propaganda, in ancient times demons did not have a negative connotation at all

Did they keep Augustine?

The works of Aquinas are usually highly compatible with rationalism.

my teacher was too based for that shit

Yeah, not my problem, I studied Aquinas as a philosopher, not as a theologian.

also augustine was a cunt who pulled new gods out of his ass to discredit the roman & greek pagans, sad to see that all the so called early christian theologians do not offer anything of value to philosophy

yes, he's part of the african canon now.

>tfw never had philosophy in school like med chads

Obviously not, he was just shilling for the usual propaganda implying that everyone was dumb between the first century and the late 1500s/early 1600's

it was a shit course and i had to delve into philosophy on my own later when i was old enough to care about it

modern philosophy technically begins with Spinoza

Yeah, obviously you had a based teacher

Probably better than what I had. Just religious studies (largely bullshit and just an excuse for teaching kids how to form a two-sided argument).

Then again they probably do better stuff in the good schools here.

She was quite based when she wasn't in her monthly christcuck phase

same here, i didn't have physics, either
>tfw got admitted to uni without even understanding the concept of gravity

The work of Spinoza is a direct answer to the true begining of the modern philosophy, René Descartes and his Discours de la méthode/Meditationes de prima philosophia
If you don't know that, I won't bother to discuss on philosophical matters with you.

What?

>tfw too dumb for this thread

>René Descartes and his Discours de la méthode/Meditationes
did you think so because every other self-proclaimed philosopher shares the exact same opinion or because you didn't notice how truly dogmatic Descartes and his followers were until Spinoza utterly unshackled the west from the fetters of organized religions?

Christianity is the only religion that undertakes on its mythical level the metaphyscal necessity of the withdrawal of the absolute for a world to exist.
It is quite based overall.

>It is quite based overall.
i have a hard time believing you've ever been a teacher

There are unironically more women who are into philosophy nowadays than men. In fact I don't know a single man who's into it whereas I know multiple women.

History on the other hand is very male dominated.

I fail to see your point.
Descartes litteraly places the certainty of the self before the certainty of God, it is the philosophical copernician revolution which opened the modernity.

not even meming

and descartes is influenced by suarez, medieval philosophy is not irrelevant, they just was focused in ontological topics instead the epistemology ones

>You like christianity, you can't be a philosophy teacher
Yeah, such a take on the matter makes me have a hard time believing you have a 3 digits IQ.

>Descartes litteraly places the certainty of the self before the certainty of God
and yet he still holds that man should submit to the christian dogmas to philosophize

Honestly, i still don't, and i have two scientific degrees.

I do agree, modernity used profusely concepts crafted in the Middle Ages to handle ontological and logical problems.

>You like christianity, you can't be a philosophy teacher
Yes.

Yeah, you seem to have quite a good ability to focus on social details and to miss the real philosophical ideas.
We got it, religion bad.

Want a cookie champ?

I thought Switzerland was top of first world.
Were you in some subpar school as they have in Germany?

How can you even appreciate the ideology which held back the west for approximately 600 years and forced the actual schools of philosophers to close down because of a pointless faith argument? Do you guys even bother to study Neoplatonism and its history or do you just skim some summary on the Platonic dialogues and feed it to your students?
