the thinkers

came across in our time’s greatest philosophers rather late, as in, today. evidently they are taking a vote to ascertain who the people feel is the greatest philosopher of all time. the result will be announced next week. (equally as pointless but certainly less vomitous than that “greatest american” piece of shit that was on the tube recently.) the site offers some semi-interesting supporting material, the requisite quiz and timeline, celebrity choices (stephen fry is a plato man evidently) etc. i liked the audio excerpts of people trying to convince you who to vote for. through the sheer tenacity of propaganda in my household (read my girlfriend) i’d have to vote kant, though in reality i haven’t a clue. you? for longer tendrils toward specific philosophers check out assembled philosophers.
