    Jeet Heer Retweeted Michael Bench-Capon

    I feel like this is something you can't really just say and need to prove. But I'd add that in general almost all philosophical traditions are anti-historical because philosophy as an activity is predicated on denial of historical contingency.https://twitter.com/MikeBenchCapon/status/1025434374844678144 …

    Contemporary analytic philosophy is the most historically informed philosophical tradition of all time but people just assume it's the least and nobody can be bothered to check

        yeah, that's probably the closest to being historically minded

        It’s anti-historical because almost every “innovation” is just the restating of a precious philosopher’s position. If they acknowledged that fact, it would clarify how redundant their work truly is.

        Like they’re not analytic, but what type of definition for historical contingency are you using which excludes Marx and Hegel lol

        Nietzsche's disciples have bad press these days, but so-called French theorists from Foucault to Ricoeur to Derrida are hard hard core historicists

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I was in grad school (not in philosophy) at Rutgers, which at the time was tied w/Princeton for the #1 ranking in philosophy, and I lived with four philosophers. They're a remarkably arrogant bunch for people who set up perfect-world thought experiments.

        Phil Prof looks at cloud chamber, sees that some condensed water molecules are moving to the left, and others to the right. Asks: what if the ones moving to the right are the ones moving to the left, only backward in time? <takes a drag>
