*sees your degree in philosophy* Ok, so Descartes was a little bitch, right? Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that.
xD unfortunately I’m not the right person to tell you that, I actually liked Descartes from what little I *did* study him. Though I’ve seen the Descartes-hate sentiment spread around on tumblr, so I know you’re not the only one. I just have never been able to figure out why lol.
For my own sake, I know his philosophy has a lot of problems, I just view his work as a nice starting point for developing more refined ideas.
#full disclosure in my entire program I only covered Descartes ONCE and that was in intro#he never came up in any of my other classes#but that may be because I focused on Hellenistic philosophy and more contemporary issues#very rarely did I have a class that focused on a specific philosopher for any length of time
