I'm in no position to justifiably make this assertation, but I'm going to do it anyway: the *vast* majority of modern philosophy is worthless. **Fully** aware of the irony in my statement, I argue we have made very little progress since the Greeks. But some things stand out. So follows, in no particular order, a very short (living) list of things I have found worthy of my time. EDIT: A previous version of this was unkind, perhaps too much so.
Not a lot of philosophy stands out to me. It feels like, since the Greeks, we've gotten pretty bogged down in proofs and formulations, with very little to show for it. Of course, the hell do I know? Some things have stood out to me, though. So follows, in no particular order, a short (living) list of things I have found that inspired my intrest:
- Jean-Dominique Bauby, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" - Jean-Dominique Bauby, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
- Thomas Young, "Overconsumption and procreation: are they morally equivalent?." - Thomas Young, "Overconsumption and procreation: are they morally equivalent?."
