Philosophers

Posted on September 18, 2020

When math dominated philosophy-> Descartes, Pascal;
When psychology dominated philosophy-> Hume, Kant;
When biology dominated philosophy-> Nietzcshe, Schelling;
When investing dominated philosophy-> Munger, @naval

Original Passage:

“As mathematics had dominated philosophy in the seventeenth century, giving to the world Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, Leibnitz and Pascal; and as psychology had written philosophy in Berkeley and Hume and Condillac and Kant; so in the nineteenth century, in Schelling and Schopenhauer, in Spencer and Nietzsche and Bergson, biology was the background of philosophic thought.”

Will Durant, Story of Philosophy
