The former president of Chile, Piñera, died in a helicopter accident. Argentina, on the other hand, has "asado" (sort of a barbaqueue) at the core of their gastronomy and social life.>>24300960
>Indian and Chinese stuff exist but are worthless trash
Hylic, both are better than any modern eurosophistry and the abortive direction it took with Descartes and Kant. Also, every philosophical tradition basically contains the full possible development of human philosophical thought in it if you look deep enough, including scholasticism.>>24300945
The United States. Emerson is the closest thing to an American philosopher.>>24301352
Why so harsh on Kant? For me it all went wrong with Hegel.>>24301320
The dictator of Chile, Pinochet, would take throw communists out of helicopters to kill them.

Argentina's main industry is cattle farming and beef. Other than that they have decent wine and are hilariously inept at finance.>>24300945
Ernesto Sábato is somewhat good

Happy with taking it easy and fucking beautiful latinas, philosophy is functionally useless for this kind of person.>>24301320

I thought the helicopter was about Pinochet's famous helicopter rides with diving incorporated.>>24301447
I was mistaken, that's probably the case, but what I said about Piñera seems like a whimsical addition to Chile's history with helicopters nonetheless.>>24301354

Typical third world baboon..>>24300960
I feel stupid, but only now have I realized the entire philosophical canon is restricted to pretty much these countries and a handful of brits as well
makes you think>>24301496
all academic nobodies except JamesEver since independence they just copied France in everything, culture, politics, philosophy, then in the 20th century they started copying the United States. An entire continent astonishingly incapable of original thought>>24301612
If Latin American progressives don't immediately start copying whatever pops into the head of American activists they go into a coma and die within 24 hoursBecause only some of them even became functioning countries with semi coherent identities just in time for European civilization to exhaust and kill itself in WW1>>24301555
You are right in an unexpected way: your realization is stupid and it should make you feel stupid, not your perceived previous state of ignorance. Anyway, you are samefag, almost no one in 4chan would show signs of humbleness to flatter the guy they reply to, especially if what they are replying is that shallow.>>24300978

Spinoza was a magian philosopher even if he was born in Europe.>>24300945
you should include North America as well>>24301496
none of them are important, will be forgotten in a century if not less>>24302194
And what do you think will happen with all the French freaks? Deleuze, Guattari, Bataille, Sartre, Derrida, etc. Plus, being remembered long term has nothing to do with philosophical merit. We have very few texts from the presocratics (including Socrates in that group, just like marxian is not the same as marxist) and very few people talk about them, but they were the references which Plato used to develop his philosophy. The presocratics aren't important just because we have lost their texts?

Francisco Suárez's metaphysical disputations were used as the encyclopedia of scholasticism in Germany, and not only that, but there also lie original contributions to metaphysics which influenced explicitly on Leibniz and Wolff, and through them on Kant. Suárez isn't important because no one remembers nor cites him today?>>24301570

and I wouldn't bother complimenting someone who'd made a nice observation, even an obvious one
good day to you>>24301315
She is probably a child prostituteYou are asking why Latin American philosophers don’t gain notoriety in either the Continental or Analytic (Anglo) schools of philosophy? It’s because the major circles of those schools are concentrated around the academic faculties of Continental Europe and the Anglosphere
