I am learning the business side of western philosophy for a college class and I can already tell I hate Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and basically every Greek philosopher.

Edit: To clarify things, I do not hate all of Western philosophy like Karl Marx just the more mainstream parts which are being taught in American academia.

This is a vent post and I was using hyperbole and being dramatic. I am sorry for the confusion.

    That was one of my problems with philosophy 101 when we were talking about what is ‘good (moral)’ versus what isn’t. My first question was “how are you defining good?” and that was laughed at and we just moved on. Like… uhhh okay I guess I’m dumb?

      On that point, she let us fight it out, mainly because she was big on writing assignments.
