Omoregbe is good



Salami is better



Jingo is best.

Socrates is Ronaldinho in Philosophy
Plato is C Ronaldo in Philosophy
The real GOAT is Aristotle, Messi of philosophy

dermmy:
Jesus was never a philosoher. That's an insult, Jesus didn't philosophise his followers he taught them sound spiritual truth that supersede the thought of great philosophers. I have read about some philosophers and their works and i can point out some errors and facts that are irrelevant in modern times but the words of Jesus can never be broken.

The best!

FRESHG:
FOR ME O, KANT KARL MARX AND SIR RAIMUND KARL POPPER ARE THE BEST PHILOSOPHERS OF ALL TIME. ANY STUDENT OF PHILOSOPHY WOULD TELL YOU THAT KANTS CRITIQUE OF PURE REASON NOR BE BEANS. POPPER CAME WITH HIS THEORY OF FALSIFICATION. BASED ON THIS, HE SEES ALL LAWS IN SCIENCE AS A MERE CONJECTURES WHICH CAN BE SUBJECT TO REFUTATION. ACCORDING TO POPPER, ANYTIME A SCIENTIST IS AT WORK, HE IS EITHER FALSIFYING OR CORROBORATING A THEORY, THEREFORE HE DISAGREED WITH THE POSITIVIST ( VIENNA CIRCLES) THAT METAPHYSICAL PROPOSITIONS ARE NONSENSICAL AND MEANINGLESS (DAVID HUMES).








POPPER IS MY GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Kant's critique of pure reason has been debunked and rebuffed severally but we must agree that he did a fantastic job in studying human reasoning.

Nonetheless, Metaphysics is nothing but linguistic confusion. There is no objective doctrine to explain the true nature of things.

Aristotle was a plagiarist.

The Greatest Follow Suffer? It is Me... I am currently beating the record of Jesus... I am the very Universal center of gravity of the moment. If you are seeing me in your dreams getting electrocuted, tortured and rescued from sea and thrown down again etc and in doubt who I was, then here I am...

ORUNMILA IS A NOT JUST A GREAT PHILOSOPHER, IN HUMAN FORM HE IS THE GREATEST, ORUNMILLA is the only deity who witnessed it when allllllha/yahweh Eledumare/Chineke/Abasi/Uban'giji/Oghene (GOD) was bringing forth creation. ORUNMILLA is the force of nature that preside over all thing knowledge and wisdom thus The GOD of WISDOM and the custodian of the ancient IFA CORPUS (repository of all esoteric knowledge here and beyond this world).

Ofcourse he is so right typing Orunmila, unlike them children of slaves here who continue to prove there's nothing their ancestors have that is teachable to the world, only to consume what they are fed, when in fact we got the real deal here, why are Europeans and Americans of today are eager to die for IFA studies (AFA in Igbo), learning all the countless philosophies and esoteric powers encoded in it. Traveling here with so much eager to to learn and acquire as many as possible, no matter how long it takes.

Do you have any idea the amount of scientific knowledge in the African believe system, tho not empirical but effective, science tells us about a fundamental force called gravity, measured and calibrated it based on an agreed upon value and constant, like they did all other spatial, vector, scalar and so called fundamental qualities but can modern come up with an effective and perfect means to defy defy gravity without any external device or machinery ? You alone can suspend an object in thing air with the right incantation, study the incantation deeply by breaking it down and you would realized how words are programmed to manipulate/control/command that same force scientists decide to call gravity, which is just a meager part of the real thing, where is the source of the incantation, Orunmilla as passed down through it disciples from precient times unknown to dated history everyone is used to.

Wa gba yi!!! Even if they don't know Orunmilla as bastardized by that miseducating nollywood and demonized by pro-Christian/Islam Nigeria, they could at least mention names of classical musicians from their respective tribes who sing music with deep philosophies and proverbs (popular or not), it's better than all those thieves they keep mentioning

ST AUGSTINE OF HIPPO, A MEDIEVAL AGE PHILOSOPHER WAS AMONG THE PHILOSOPHERS THAT COUNTERED THE SOPHISTS WITH HIS “SI FALLO ERGO SUM DICTUM”. DESCARTES WAS TRYING TO LAY A VERY SOLID FOUNDATION WHERE SCIENCE WOULD THRIVE WITH HIS DICTUM AT THE END OF 18th CENTURY.

Fine. Doesn’t change the fact his statement was a fakacy

Fuqman:
The Europeans or Greeks can go to hell. Everything they knew was copied from ancient Egyptians. They're not the father of this or the first in that. The great Imhoptep, whom Greeks equated with the demi-god of healing Asclepius and was even worshipped. His profound knowledge of impact was so great, it could not measured with anyone.

However, they're other great ancient Egyptians philosophers named.. Ptahhotep, and Amenhotep.

Thank you. Don't mind these colonised people. Africa was the birthplace of Philosophy, yet all they know are white folks who stole ancient African thought and logical analysis, and called themselves 'philosophers'. Those 'philosophers' were persecuted in Greece and Europe for teaching what their authorities termed "foreign mysteries". Meaning AFRICAN mysteries. Plato, Socrates, Aristotle and other European 'philosophers' openly admitted they had acquired their knowledge in Egypt, and were taught by Egyptian masters. Egypt of course was a black African civilization prior to the latter invasion of Arabs and others.

youngest85:
Abdru-shim

Is Abdru-shin a philosopher or a truth-bringer.

When talking of philosophers, the father of them all is Socrates who was Plato`s teacher.His works formed the basis of western civilization. Other great philosophers are Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras etc of the earlier genre. In modern times, we can talk of E.Kant, Thomas Hobbes, Descartes, Karl Max etc.
These are philosophers of great repute whose inquiry into human existence has shaped many societies that come into contact with their works.

If not for Socrates, thier wouldn't be nothing like education this is why is he regarded as the wisest and most educated man that ever lived on earth.

1) Egypt was not a "black African civilization" before Arab conquests anymore than the Ottomans are seen as a Caucasian civilization. It was a civilization of Berbers, Cushitic people, Nubians etc. If you're not trying to claim Israel, you're trying to claim Egypt, or the Moors etc. One day, your deep envy and insecurity will make you claim the Romans or Greeks were "black Africans".

2) Obviously, when talking about the greatest, most influential philosophers, this would be predicated heavily on the known body of work of the figures in question: of which the ancient Greeks far outstrip those before them. Which is why people talk more about Socrates or Plato or Aristotle as fathers of the modern Western intellectual tradition.

Colonised dullard, the dude said there would be nothing like education without Socrates, and you support that? How ignorant can you be? Who taught Socrates? Who taught Aristotle? Who taught Thale? Where did they learn "philosophy"? Certainly not in Greece which frowned on the "foreign mysteries" they were propagating, and jailed, exiled, and executed many of them. They travelled to, and learnt from black African masters in Egypt. And admitted so themselves. It's not even a secret. Go on Google and research. It's free.

What does "black-skinned" mean? Factory workers in my company used to call Lebanese and Indian men "oyinbo": a proxy for white people. It's just a comparative description differentiating them from locals. To a European centuries to millennia ago, I would imagine many people from present day Yemen or Saudi Arabia or Bangladesh or Brunei or India etc are "black-skinned".
"Black" in its modern socio-cultural usage is more commonly used to describe people of sub-saharan Bantu/Niger-Congo origin. A Berber is not "black" anymore than a Syrian man is a white man. Even Cushitic groups in the Horn of Africa reject the "black" appellation even though many of them have complexions little different from their Bantu neighbours.

It's a pet hate of mine hearing Afrocentrist deluded people appropriating Egyptian history. It might make sense if you're from Sudan or Nubian groups in the Sahel. It makes no sense when you have zero connection with Egyptian history. I'm Igbo. There is absolutely zero connection between Igbo culture/history with ancient Egypt. ZERO. So why on earth would I be claiming anything connected with Egypt? An English or German or French man might talk about links with ancient Rome seeing as their ancestors were conquered and heavily influenced by Roman culture. What is your connection with Egypt?
