What philosophers are farmers into? how do you all see the world? I used to be really into philosophy but my attention span has been pretty bad recently, so I'm mostly just skimming over the ones I've already read.

>>Meme philosophers
>Descartes
is pretty bad outside of the three meditations he's most famous for. The latter meditations are absolute christian sophistry and go against the skepticism he's most famous for
>Edgy French fagits
Camus and Sartre come across to me as pretentious whiners, a lot of their writing is long winded, self serving and bloated. The obfuscation and sophistry I picked up reading the myth of Sisyphus pretty much stopped me from continuing. I also dislike how they basically play up the whole bohemian philosopher thing in their personal lives, it comes across as insincere posing, most people grow out of that shit in their teens and early twenties.
>Kant
Not a meme philosopher, I'm just too stupid to understand the critique of pure reason. But all the philosophers I like praise him highly, and he's considered to be essential, so like, I dunno.

>>Gud philosophers
>EPIK-TEETUS and Marcus Aurelius
Good for practical solutions and simply written. A few assumptions must be made (God exists, the universe is logical, etc). But reading these guys puts my life into perspective and helps me through my day
>Hume and the other British empiricists
Well structured, well written and easy to understand. They're enjoyable reads. Hume especially stands out as the strongest of the empiricists.
>Schopenhauer
'The world as Will and Representation' is pretty cool, ties into Buddhism and Hinduism, built off the metaphysics of Kant and creates an elaborate and radical interpretation of reality that covers every single subject. Perhaps the most pessimistic philosopher that ever existed, but it's not 'woe is me' self wankery like with Camus.
