who is your fauvorite philosopher?

Question

And explain why in a coloquial way

Answer 1

Sartre. While "not to choose is to choose" is an over simplification of his existentialist viewpoint, that simple statement to me epitomizes a great deal about society today. First that many are unwilling to accept responsibility for their actions, and second that that unacceptance doesn't let them off the hook. To put it simply, not accepting responsibility is an active--not a passive--choice. The moral consequences are the same either way.

Answer 2

my favorite philosopher is Fridric Nizchi(i'm not shure if i spelled his name corectly)
i'm gonna have to tell you in a nut shell, because it'll take all night for me to give a specific reason why he is my favorite.
Fridric Nizchi a ma who gave us the book which some times is more helpful then Bible. He told us exactly how we are constracted: it begins with a Camel who bends its knees to put on the freight, then comes the Lion who surches for freedom( to say no to what you have to and to exept what you want)and at last a baby which is redy to turn a new leaf and start a new game.
Nizchi told us how to live. when is our time and when it expires. He showed me what i am.

Answer 3

Hey andresecc...,

Sun Tzu, and The Art of War.

"The ultimate goal of war is peace"

Sun Tzu (Chinese: 孫子; pinyin: SÅ«n Zǐ; 544–496 BC) was a Chinese author of The Art of War (Chinese: 兵法), an immensely influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy. He is also one of the earliest realists in international relations theory.

The name Sun Tzu ("Master Sun") is an honorific title bestowed upon Sun Wu (孫武; Sūn Wǔ), the author's name. The character wu, meaning "military", is the same as the character in wu shu, or martial art. Sun Wu also has a courtesy name, Chang Qing (長卿; Cháng Qīng).

Sun Tzu's military principles are also frequently used to describe various aspects of "hacking" and the style of "hacking" that uses stealth to penetrate cyber defenses (Trojan Virus) rather than brute force attacks (DDOS) that are attributed to the style of the military philosopher, Clausewitz.

Answer 4

lao tsu, most closely associated with taoist "thought". i've been interested in eastern thought/philosophy/psychology/"religions" for a long time. it's/their approach to every aspect of life/existence is quite different from the "western approach". among the various "paths", i've found esoteric buddhism and taoism the most appealing. they present a comprehenive approach to personal healing and consciousness growth. for those who have not yet explored these teachings, a bit of time spent with them yields great rewards. if interested, check out: http://www.crystallotus.com http://www.cosmicharmony.com http:www.sahajayoga.com and the book: *the complete idiot's guide to toltec wisdom* for some "eye opening" info. ;-)
