The Philosophy Hate List

Maybe this goes with the territory of studying philosophy, but I have a lot of philosopher-enemies. There are people I really disagree with, people I think are jerks, and people who are both. So I decided to make a list of my top 5 enemies. The order was a little tricky to pin down, but I think this is the most accurate:

  1. Richard Dawkins
  2. Christopher Hitchens
  3. Ayn Rand
  4. St. Thomas Aquinas
  5. G.W.F. Hegel

Notice how four out of five are (to some degree) rationalists. GEE, I WONDER IF JEREMY HATES RATIONALISM TOO.

  1. inquisitiveowl said: Does hitchens really count as philosophy? Bleh, I don’t like to categorize him as such. Dawkins should have stuck to science. And I’m not sure if I hate aquinas as much as I hate anselm…
