The worst is probably De Sade.
pedo s***offender
I know exactly who you’re talking about and my brain still read this as Da Baby lol
Read OP's post like it was Lupe's verse in Words I Never Said
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say s***
nah that is cap. We just live in white societies that’s why you’ll hear about C***philosophers before you hear about African or middle eastern ones.
They have existed everywhere
Black philosophers have been white washed too. Socrates, Marcus Aurelius and even Roman Emperors such as Septimius Severus. Somewhat agree with both sides but things have been whitewashed or refashioned to the current leaderships liking.

@Skrilla
I’m not deep into single philosophers but that seems within regular colonizer territory to do that type of s***
Shakespeare criticized slavery and colonialism in The Tempest a hundred years before Kant was playing with his little pink toes.
Even though he aint a philosoph Martin Luther also someone whos still admired in germany, but was full scum againt jews
Kinda ironic how MLK changed his name after him, even though he was a f***ing lunatic.
"Michael king" just doesn't have the same ring to it though
In 1000 years our norms will be out of date too
Besides it's about their ideas not their personal lives, ur on twitter too much
And even their ideas have to be placed in the context of their times

I am going to hold Aristotle accountable
I’m gonna need a full Twitter apology.
It's a negative to be sure but don't think it should impact how we view them and their work. A lesser issue, but in the future (or even now) 20th century views on animals will be considered speciesist, but for me its unfair to judge them for that
One could claim that they are meant to be the greatest thinkers, and ought to be able to predict societies changing values but thats a bit unfair I think, their job is to reason about the world and come to conclusions, its unsurprising some of these conclusions are offensive to modern values
Imagine how people of the future will look back on us if manufacturing of goods becomes fully autonomous.
“You mean, people bought s*** that they KNEW was produced by enslaved children?!”
People are complex. They could be racists and bad morally while still being good philosophers
Yeah I think the point is to debate their contributions to philosophy and not to worship their persons as infallible.

agreed although many of the ideas are applicable today but only when you look at the basis of them. granted depends who we're talking about
