I'm pretty well read, I actually really like the works of Aristotle and think most philosophical works have stagnated since then, I especially dislike all the religious bullshit in the middle ages and after, but:

If you wanna try some "religious" non-bullshit from after the middle ages, dip into some Spinoza. I think he scratches the Aristotelian itch.

Religious?? Spinoza?? How was the guy who wrote books about how god isn't real, because nothing that is attributed to god can also be attributed to nature, and religion is the primary contradiction in society? That Spinoza?

Okay but to be fair Spinoza is really good. Much closer to Hegel than fucking Kant.

1000 years from now, students are going to read the works of the first great philosopher of the internet era. I wonder if they've already penned their magnum opus. I wonder which platform first played host to their profound musings. I wonder how they were received by their contemporaries. Probably poorly.
