Socrates 11 ? As if there would be any philosophy in the western world without him -- and without his famous statement, 'The unexamined life is not worth living.'
This statement is basically the motto for all of philosophy itself !
Whenever we think ourselves wise, there is Socrates reminding us that our self-proclaimed 'wisdom' is worth little or nothing.
Which is perhaps the most important and the ultimate lesson of philosophy itself.
I'm sure this won't be the only comment on Socrates and the wisdom of his philosophy
If you understand philosophy you will know that philosophy existed for many 1000s of years before Socrates who learned about it from his Anatolian counterparts (the source of all Greek thinkers before Plato, the rest were illiterate). Today's 10y olds know better than Socrates unless they are brainwashed by Western un-civilisation ;)
@@DimitarBerberu Funny comment clown. The 'philosophers' of whom you speak are called "Pre-Socratic' for a reason.
@@DimitarBerberu The 'philosophers' before Socrates are called 'Pre-Socratic' for a reason that is not wholly chronological. As for civilization, you should just say, 'Thank You'.
We in the West were burdened, it's true; but we are still happy for having attempted to civilize you people -- to the extent you are somewhat 'civilized' now.
@@alwaysgreatusa223 How can the West civilise the people that were civilised 7000y ago? The most popular (YT) contemporary philosopher Slavoj Žižek in Parallax View: the Anglo-Saxons & Japanese (European powers are not far) are the masters of hypocrisy. ‘Gentle’ in talk, atrocities in action.
Before that: America is the country that has gone from barbarism to decadence Without Civilisation in between (the West is the parent not far from that ;)
You cannot improve if you don't know where you are or what you (don't) know - old wisdom.
Simone de Beauvoir over Nietzsche or Socrates is just wild man.
Not if you're a feminist ♀️
@@InsightfulEverything even if you are, even personal bias has limits
@@Idk_imagine_a_cool_nameIt’s a subjective ranking. Obviously Nietzsche and Socrates has been more influential, but it’s up to the individuall to value the philosophers theories. In such a case, their influence is irrelevant.
Thanks for commenting and sharing your viewpoint. I agree but philosophy is always offering up disagreements.
Nietzsche is vastly overrated but Simone de Beauvoir helped establish one of the most dangerous ideological beliefs in the West.
Four days in, and 122 people are chipping in. It's so much better to argue about such topics than anything else. I applaud the creator of the video just for the intellectual distress.
Didn't mean to cause any distress but glad that I did.
WESTERN PHILOSOPHY
1. Socrates -- If philosophy has a hero, then surely it is Socrates.
2. Plato -- Sure he is refuted, but there is a need to refute him, because the history Western Philosophy is basically one long footnote to his philosophical thinking.
3. Aristotle --- At one time, he was simply called 'the Philosopher' -- founder of Metaphysics and Logic, and to some extent, empirical science.
4. Nietzsche -- The philosopher who most fiercely and dramatically affirms life on its own terms over the abstract reasoning of the philosopher.
5. Wittgenstein -- The 20th century logician who has done the most to clearly expose much, if not all, metaphysical discourse as being utterly nonsensical.
6. Descartes -- The so-called 'Father of Modern Philosophy' -- founder of Rationalism and the 'Method of Doubt', as well as the inventor of Analytic Geometry.
7. Kant -- The greatest of the Idealists, he revolutionized metaphysical thinking by making the universe we know nothing more than a product of our own minds.
8. Hume -- The greatest of the Empiricists, he showed that much of our reasoning based on cause and effect tends to be more habitual than purely rational.
9. Hegel -- The great idealist, second only to Kant, who made all history and the universe into one long story of the dialectic movement of the absolute ideal.
10. Rousseau -- The only great philosopher (outside of Nietzsche) who challenges the very idea of philosophy itself (read his Discourse on the Arts & Sciences)
So many philosophers, so little time to figure out who's right!
@@InsightfulEverything Yeah, it's just my list. The fun part of philosophy is that we get to argue and disagree. Hopefully, not the way they do on Jerry Springer or Wilko, but in a way that is rational and dignified -- more like debates on the old show 'Firing Line' that was hosted by William Buckley.
@@InsightfulEverything A few honorable mentions that arguably should be on the Top 10, but I did not put them on my Top 10, are the following : Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Berkeley, Leibniz, Marx, Augustine, Aquinas, Pascal, Heidegger, Moore... yeah there are a lot of important philosophers who have contributed to the Great Conversation -- and I did not even mention Eastern Philosophy !
Agreed. I've gotten quite a few people disagreeing. Can't blame them.
@@InsightfulEverything Controversy is good for the algorithm. If everybody agreed with you, you would get less comments. Keep being controversial by just sticking to your guns. People actually enjoy disagreeing -- especially on social media.
Wittgenstein? Hegel, Lao Tse, Buddha and all the others that you mention. Oh! and Spinoza! My favorite, my Love is
Herakleitos. A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates.
Maybe we should put all those into another video
Buddha is less of a philosopher and more of a religious figure
Would.ypu say that about Jesus?
Isn't ranking philosophers completely contradictory to the concept of philosophy though?
Wouldn't this be like ranking the quality of paintings in an art museum?
It is a fun video, but would the philosophers themselves approve of the video?
Philosophy means "love of wisdom." As long as a pursuit doesn't conflict with that, all is allowed.
Depends if you like modern art or surreal. Some don't know art at all and hence wouldn't dream to rank what they don't know about. Others would rank their favourite. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Philosophy is beautiful because it has no rules.
Loving this viewpoint ❤️❤️
Of course there r better philos' than others ! Being systematic , being a pioneer ..etc.
where is Fyodor Dostoevsky?
Why is he not in this list?
This list is complete trash
Should I add him to the next video on Philosophers
Thanks for watching and your kind words 🫶🏼
@@InsightfulEverything Yes & Slavoj Žižek
I tagged you in another comment re Slavoj Žižek. Did you get it?
You mentioned how Kierkegaard criticized Hegel, but you never mentioned Hegel otherwise. "Every Philosopher......" means every philosopher you decided to mention, not "all" by far. Otherwise, great video.
Maybe I should do a second video?
Who should be in it?
@@InsightfulEverything you left out Hegel, Schopenhauer, Berkeley, and Hume, who are all prior to some of the individuals you listed here. So that’s a start.
Also Spinoza, Leibniz, Wittgenstein, Russell/Whitehead, the stoics, skeptics, and early Christians would also be good to examine
Hegel, Schopenhauer, Hobbes, Rousseau, Adorno, Heidegger, Popper, to name just a few.
Great list. Look out for another video on these philosophers.
Adam Smith. Like it or not, markets exist everywhere, even North Korea. Everybody makes "many" market decisions "every" day. Smith's analysis is somewhat dated, but remains a bedrock of market understanding. The problem is many "think tanks" and politicians have cherry picked items from his main works (An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations) and (The Theory of Moral Sentiments) and used them to promote political agendas that would have horrified Smith. Sometime when I cite Smith people think I'm quoting Marx. Smith doesn't promote getting rich or any political agenda just that markets and morality are "not" mutually exclusive.
Maybe we should start a "Smith vs. Marx" debate club!
Markets existed at least since the 1st Sumer civilisation 4500BC. Civilisation arrived in the West 6000 years later via the Italian Renaissance that was inspired by the Islamic Golden Age 8-14 century (so it was hard to understand markets before Smith ;)
@@InsightfulEverything Smith ms Marx would be like UK vs Germany or China today (including Lenin & Mao). No long term chance for Smith, sorry ;)
@DimitarBerberu Where did you get the date on when markets existed? ie "1st Sumer civilisation 4500BC"
@DimitarBerberu You need to explain a little more regarding this statement?
WOW, LOVING THIS VIDEO. MISSING LOTS OF PHILOSOPHERS THO. HOPEFULLY WE GET ANOTHER VIDEO WITH MORE PHILOSOPHERS 🤭😎
Working on it! 😁
Another AMAZING video @insightfulphilosophy. Would love to see a longer video with lots more philosophers.
More to come! Thanks for the encouragement ☺️
Loving this super quick introduction. Any chance of doing one on female philosophers as international women's day has just passed?
Have you hacked me 🤔💭
Where is Marcus Aurelius, Diogenes, Epictetus, Zeno, Lao Tzu, etc??????
Maybe we need another video? Thoughts?
Hume😊
Just missed out 😥
Martin Heidegger ↑
@DimitarBerberu Why dod you think he should be on this list?
You had left out Thomas Aquinas (I know, baptized Aristotle), Benedict Spinoza, David Hume (whose skepsis had awakened Kant [not /kænt/, for Heaven's sake!] from his dogmatic slumber), Hegel, and Wittgenstein. I halfway understand leaving out Heidegger. I would have left out de Beauvoir and Watts.
Look here --> czcams.com/video/IQGHcI2me4w/video.html
Alan Watts enjoys a similar position in the domain of serious philosophy as flat-earthers do in the domain of serious science.
You say that but don't say why?
@@InsightfulEverything Unlike the others he has not contributed or developed anything meaningful or novel to philosophy. Explaining, interpreting or commenting on an existing philosophical position does not make one a philosopher. He is not taken seriously in any academic sense although aging hippies might still consider him to be an enlightened guru.
Thanks for sharing your point of view.
@@talleyhoe846 Liking this comment wasn't enough.
Well thanks for taking the time to watch and of course comment and like ✌️
Loving this video. Entertaining and informative.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😌
I think perhaps Slavoj Zizek should be on this list.
You're not the first to say this
Notable by his absence was the sage named Voltaire.
Maybe I should do another video with all the new suggestions?
@@InsightfulEverything Maybe. Voltaire's wit was amazing.
Voltaire! I've had this suggested before. Thanks ✌️
Thanks for this great video. Missing some philosophers on your list. I enjoyed it though.
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
We betrayed Aristotle
Who betrayed him?
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all in it 8:00
Legend!
@Rico-Suave_
nice video, hopefully you will make a video only about Kierkegaard
Thanks for your kind words. That's the plan! I'm happy to make videos on topics my viewers want to watch.
No Hume? Neither Husserl nor Heidegger? Nietzsche but not Schopenhauer. De Beauvoir but not Sartre? Watts but not Wittgenstein? Silly list.
Why these people and not those on the list?
I wasn't so much suggesting that a list I might make would be superior to yours as arguing that any such list is largely subjective and thus nothing more than a matter of opinion. I suppose most people living the the West would agree on Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, as they are more or less sacred to Western thought, but after them it's an open field. Most, I think, would also agree with you on the inclusion of Descartes and Kant, but after that I can think of at least a dozen philosophers that I would put ahead of the remainder of your list. I am not suggesting that I am right and you are wrong, but rather that any attempt to make such list a is somewhat nonsensical. I thought a couple of your choices were outliers whose inclusion pushes the notion of what is philosophy, namely Marx and de Beauvoir, and in my view to include Alan Watts in a list of the greatest philosophers is absurd, particularly when you don't include the Buddha, who was the primary influence on his thought. Off the top of my head I would rank him second in a list of guys who wrote books with "Zen" in the title, after Robert Persig who wrote Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Indeed, if I could think of a thousand philosophers from over the centuries, which of course I can't, I doubt Watts would make the list. He was little more than a popularizer of Eastern thought in the West. Finally, except for Confucius you completely ignore philosophical traditions other than classical Western thought, except for the inclusion of Watts I suppose. No Zhuang Zhou, no Adi Shankara, no Avicenna. Zhuang Zhou's discussion concerning dreaming and reality ("am I Zhuang Zhou or am I the butterfly?") predated Descarte's mediation on the same topic by over a thousand years.
Great point. Thanks so much for replying and engaging. You're right about the list you make. As is everyone else who disagrees with my list. It's the beauty of philosophy. I'm going to make another video with the mentioned suggestions on viewers.
1) Buddha
2) Mahatma Gandhi
3) Adi Shankara
Awesome suggestions. I'll be doing a follow up video to include the philosopher my viewers are suggesting.
Would love to hear why you think that?
Love learning from these videos.
Glad you like them!
This is an Excellent video!
That Video is a Great way to Clear Dogmatic Thinking and Confusion, as well as Limit Polarisation.
Thanks buddy 😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@InsightfulEverything No Problem!
@@InsightfulEverything No worries!
💥☺️💥
Wow I like the graphics how did you make them. Great video also ❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for your kind words. It's a secret 🤫
J krishnamurti was very underrated philosopher ,worth mention
Ok thanks
J.S. Mill is missing.
Anyone else missing?
It's good to see Alan Watts on your list. He certainly influenced my thinking. Locke, Descartes, and Kant are all over-rated, in my opinion. Where is Spinoza?
Thanks for you comment. Much appreciated. Why would you include Spinoza?
thats not kant in the thumbnail!!!
@tbn_edits_ Really? who is it then?
@@InsightfulEverything its friedrich heinrich jacobi, a critic of kant's. but he is usually mistaken for kant
thanks for your video anyways, i love philosophy🫶
thank you very much to make this video.
You are most welcome 🤗.
Thank you for the video!
No worries!
We live in this age where "every" means "a crumb".
I'll give you more crumbs if you like?
If you succeed in your CZcams career- which is doubtful, you'll be interesting to dumb folks xD
Come back in a week and comment how many views are on this video. If 'dumb' people view then I'm ok with that. ✌️
Odd list.
Really why?
Well, Mr. Alan Watts must be Number 1 if he is in a position to rank all the others.
Why is he in a position to rank all others?
@@InsightfulEverything That is the point ...
No.1?
@@InsightfulEverything He means non-philosopher to understandd & rank the philosophers (? ;)
@DimitarBerberu Yeah but I don't think that is what he means
Every is not equal to 12
Look here --> czcams.com/video/IQGHcI2me4w/video.html
Karl Popper should be included
Why should Karl Popper be included?
@@InsightfulEverything hi there; for me, two things that I love most. first, his standing point that the scientific progress does not progress by verifying theories through observation, as the verificationists claimed, but rather by formulating hypotheses and then testing and attempting to falsify them. This led to his concept of falsifiability, which states that for a theory to be scientific, it must be capable of being proven false i.e. the demarcation between science and psedoscience.
another point is in his political philosophy, Popper argued for the importance of democratic institutions and the protection of individual freedom. He believed that an open society, characterized by freedom of speech, equality before the law, and the availability of opportunities for all individuals, was the best safeguard against totalitarianism and oppression.
It was worth the wait to get that response. Thank you.
Epicurus for me.
He's a great philosopher
I'm an Existentialist Anarchist, Philosophically!
Thanks for the video!
😎
My man Plotinus feeling MAD disrespected rn (he doesn’t care, but Porphyry does)
Why is Plotinus disrespected?
@@InsightfulEverything Just saying that I’d put him on any list of greatest/most influential philosophers. His work indirectly influenced billions of lives by informing all three Abrahamic faiths as well as inspiring a slew of late Platonists. He’s not often talked about in introductions to philosophy because a lot of his ideas are pretty abstruse & hard to understand, but I’d easily put him on the level of Descartes, Kant, and Aquinas (also suspiciously missing from the list). I’m half joking because I get that this is just supposed to be a quick introduction to some philosophers; I was just taken in by the title “Every Philosopher Explained” haha.
It's getting people to comment on their favourite philosophers which has been interesting. Appreciate you watching ✌️
@@InsightfulEverything Anything that gets people to engage with philosophy is a win as far as I’m concerned! Good luck!!
Thanks and I completely agree 💯☺️
Epicurus all the way
He was one of the coolest philosophers
Marcus Aurelius should be #1
Should I make another video and put him at number 1?
And Thomas Aquinas ?????
Why do you think he should be included?
@@InsightfulEverything Because he was the most important philosopher of a period that was 1000 years long and, like it or not, he was one of the most influential philosophers in western history, independently if modern philosophy wants to accept it or not
Mmhh this sounds like a personal opinion, than fact.
Can't we at least get a mention for zizek?
Sure, do you want another video that includes zizek?
@@InsightfulEverything yes please!
Great. I'll get cracking on it.
you spelled explained wrong
Thanks for the heads up 🤓
No Michael Scott?
Should I add Michael Scott to the next video on philosophers?
@@InsightfulEverything Just being funny. But I enjoyed your video. Alan Watts is my favorite.
Can you imagine if I put him in a video 😂. The hate I would get.
How about Rust Cohle?
Convince me we should be on the list and I'll do another video.
It's a joke really. Rust Cohle is a character on the first season of True Detective. Excellent show actually. But seriously how about Schopenhauer?@@InsightfulEverything
@@RBDawg 😂 I had Michael Scott suggested also. But yes Schopenhauer should be on the next list
Lol! Put Slavoj Zizek top of the list and Plato last.
Thanks for watching
Agree ;) czcams.com/video/BCiYBUx7zQE/video.html
I'm shocked 😉
@@InsightfulEverything
Lol!
@@MikeFuller-ok6ok 😊
Wow I never knew there were only 12 philosophers in history
Who's number 13?
@@InsightfulEverything your video should be titled top 12 philosophers in history IMHO
Mmhh not sure if that's catchy enough. After all you clicked and watched all the way through.
@@InsightfulEverything yeah but that is blatant clickbait
If a video's title stated that a certain celebrity you were interested in was caught cheating and you clicked on it to watch and it ACTUALLY was that celebrity cheating. Is that clickbait?
" To argue with any list, shows how one perceives their own personal truths in one's ideals ". Wonderchek ///. . .
Agreed
@@InsightfulEverything thank you.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
You're welcome 😁
No Camus?
Should I put him in the next video?
David hume
A good one. Do you think I should do another video and include him?
Good work!
Spinoza would have been number 1.
Thanks for the love 💕
Shout out to my boy Marx!
Why Marx over the others?
@@InsightfulEverything He's pretty cool lol
Fair enough 😆
Interesting list. I would add at least one 20th century occult philosopher such as Crowley or Liz Greene.
Ever read any Crowley? I have. Interesting in some spots, knavish in others. I would gift old Aleister one big 👎.
Thanks for the idea! Adding Crowley or Liz Greene sounds like a cool way to enhance the list.
@@ANDROLOMAwell he did end up on the album cover for The Beatles. Surely a philosopher has to be pure quality to do that.
💥
@@musicalneptunian I wonder if John or Paul read Crowley? I did. He seemed fixated on iconoclasm and Catholic imagery rituals.
How is Marx above Socrates?
Would love to hear your reason why Socrates should be ranked higher.
Marx is the most influential in history & far more advanced. Western narrowmindedness avoids the Logic & throws the baby with the bath water.
I thought you though it was Slavoj Žižek?
Osho
Why would you include Osho in the list?
@@InsightfulEverything why not ?
@@sindhuprasaddubey9070 why yes? Was the question. Not having a go just want to know what makes this philosopher rank in the list over others.
@@InsightfulEverything ok ignore me
@@sindhuprasaddubey9070 Ok, thanks for stopping by and watching
Thanks for the attempt & your (biased) rank. Wel Marx is correct 10/(out of)10 = #1 (Hegel & Kant to follow). When you understand the 10 principles of Dialectical Materialism you will know that most of the 10y children know better than Plato & the much better Aristotle who thought that women have fewer teeth than men ;) Most of the others were not proper philosophers for Classical Philosophy standards.
Thanks for watching and commenting. However, I have to say that if my rank is biased then your comment must also biased. Would you agree?
@@InsightfulEverything I agree that my mood was biased against Western narrowmindedness (& self-glorification) that leads to Bias ;)
Appreciate that you included the pre-Greek(European) philosophers as that skill was coming via Anatolia & existed many millennia before (just not documented or understood) & arrived in Europe ~4000y later (1st known Sumer civilisation ~ 4500BC. In the West another 2000 years later (via the Italian Renaissance, inspired by the Islamic Golden Age 8-14 century).
Since the Ottomans took the "Western capital" Constantinople/Anatolia, the cradle of the Civililsation was moved out to Greco/Roman (& you didn't mention Seneca/Aurelius/Cicero... but all Greek philosophers).
After Hegel (growing on Kant & passing to Marx), Capitalism rejected Logic & stuck to Socrates to water down the contradictions of the imperialist system & notions like:
"Kant: If justice perishes, human life on Earth has lost its meaning" & it did :(
If you didn't say "Every Philosopher ranked in the world" it would be better (can cut it). Ranking is the other dangerous task that only makes sense for you & some Western observers (not philosophers) - I also suggest you don't use absolute ranking but general significance (eg. Marx is the most influential philosopher in modern history & PIONEER Social Sciences that understudy the neglected Social injustice best)
The fun part: The biggest sin is not including the most popular YT Philosopher - Slavoj Žižek
czcams.com/video/BCiYBUx7zQE/video.html
Have great time & some critical thinking :)
Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it. You can find Slavoj Žižek in this video of mine: czcams.com/video/IQGHcI2me4w/video.html
Feminism is not philosophy. It's it's own thing. And marx was more of an economist than a philosopher
It's own thing? What is that? I guess Marx was also a polymath.
@@InsightfulEverything if you count feminism as a branch of philosophy then you need to also count psychology so Freud and Jung would also be on the list. But would you really call Carl Jung a philosopher?
So where do we draw the line?
@@philv2529 where indeed? That's the beauty of philosophy.
@@InsightfulEverything ok then put Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, Jeremy Bentham, and Milton Friedman on your list if you are going to include k Marx
Maybe in another video? Would you watch?
Marx had influential ideas. Too bad they failed miserably in practice and caused so much human suffering. A man who wrote of factory workers having never set foot inside one
Marx might have benefited from a factory tour before penning his thoughts!
China shows that Marx was the best Philsopher & Social Science Pioneer (+many other) who understood Critical Systems Thinking the best. You have been brainwashed by expletive dishonest Capitalist lies.
@DimitarBerberu You think China is a good example of Social Science Pioneering but you don't say why?
Do you want to spend the rest of your life defending atheism is the truth without any arguments rejecting logic and reality or do you want to end religion? To end religion only the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news. The truth is atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. The atheist logical fallacy would test your intelligence and honesty and the error in reasoning is easy to understand being honest and impossible lying to oneself. I am trying to overcome the most severe and devastating censorship in history trying to prove God exists fulfilling humanity's dream ending the war saving lives with knowledge. Do you think I am making it up? I am talking about reality that is happening in front of your eyes, here and now. Is reality eternal? Something always existed because from nothing can not be created something. God is the first uncaused cause, that's it! that's all!. What, who or how is this God for the moment it doesn't matter. If the universe was created from an eternal intelligent entity atheism is false. I need to be understood and they say I need to learn to understand. Do you want to end the war in Ukraine and Gaza? Share! Share! Share! Thank you.
🤔💭
Religion is important and should exist, but your reasoning about God can be wadded up and thrown in the trash can.🗑
Your god is a mental image. It didn't call itself God, humans did that for it.
Thus we have to remember that beyond conscious desires and conscious ideas concerning the existence of the soul, Man carried unknowingly the impulses of his unconscious and these too were projected into the outer world of spirits and divinities. Then Man's untried intellect made valiant efforts to order and rationalize all his imaginative projections and so devised stories concerning the origin of spirits, gods, and men and their relationships one with another that became a part of the body of belief.
-Jacquetta Hawkes, from History of Mankind
The family from which the Hebrew nation claimed descent belonged to the western branch of the Semitic people, the Amorites of the Old Testament. The name Terah is taken from the northern (Hurrite) name of the moon god who was worshipped as Terah in Harran and as Nannar in Ur. Hebrew religion, therefore, is rooted in that of Sumer.

Mmmhhh
Can you expand?
@@InsightfulEverything
I think evolution theory is a philosophical theory.
Not many people see Charles Darwin as a philosopher. He developed the theory of evolution. This theory can be used to clarify the life of humans and other life forms. With this theory he went directly against the Bible. At that time you were not allowed to think differently about religion.
Furthermore, there are many others that build on and improve on this theory.
Yes I see your viewpoint. However I guess many would see him more as a scientist than philosopher. However the same could be said for Pythagoras. But you justify your point well.
He was natural philosopher (= scientist) but far from complete as say Kant or today czcams.com/video/BCiYBUx7zQE/video.html
