Two questions. I always see people add Socrates to this list. Is there actually a real consensus on the philosophy of the real Socrates outside of the works of Plato? Is there something drawing people to him as a thinker outside of Plato's use of him and our scraps of history regarding his life?
Second question, same as the first, but for Diogenes. Is there any real record of his thought outside of the anecdotes about him memeing on other popular thinkers in the western canon?
>a complete nobody with no skin in the game ranking anything with authourity.
go back
>you can't have an opinion because... YOU JUST CAN'T, OKAY?!!
Write a book about your ideas before thinking you have any right to judge other's.

where the frick is gardner
actually i guess he's more of a polymath/visionary. ignore me
weird list brother
You seemed to have cropped off the highest tier— I assume Evola and Guenon are there?
Where is Pascal?
Putting Aquinas at the bottom exposes this for bait.
Especially since Aristotle was in “super good” tier. Somehow I doubt that OP read everything represented on his list.
I agree with you.
Be my boyfriend?
Putting Kant at the top shows this man has patrician taste.
If you actually think that, you’re unironically an idiot.
You're the idiot, but, if you can't grasp that Kant was the greatest.
Kant is the absolute best. Just below him is Plato and Schopenhauer.
The real gem here is the bottom tier
Makes everyone mad
>no F Gardner
Missing an essential one, mate.
