What?

Leiter Reports: A Philosophy Blog: Are You a Better Philosopher If You Pose for Pictures with Famous Philosophers and Intellectuals?   Leiter remarks:

It appears Richard Kearney (Boston College) may think so.

But, what, exactly, on that home page leads Leiter to that conclusion?  Am I missing a joke?

Philosophy Quotes

  • "15- Who will prove to be the strongest in this? The most moderate, those who have no need of extreme dogmas, those who not only concede but love a good measure of chance and nonsense, those who can conceive of man with a significant reduction in his value without thereby becoming small and weak: the richest in health who can cope with the most misfortunes and so have no great fear or misfortunes - men who are sure of their power and represent with conscious pride the achievement of human strength." 16 - What would such a man think of the eternal recurrence?" -Nietzsche, "European Nihilism" (1887)
  • “I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion” - Baruch Spinoza
  • "Rural fascism and city or neighborhood fascism, youth fascism, and war veteran's fascism, fascism of the Left and of the Right, fascism of the couple, family, school, and office: every fascism is defined by a micro-black hole that stands on its own and communicates with others, before resonating in a great, generalized central black hole." - Deleuze and Guattari
  • "Aude sapere: 'dare to know,' 'have the courage, the audacity, to know.' Thus Enlightenment must be considered both as a process in which men participate collectively and as an act of courage to be accomplished personally." - Michel Foucault
  • "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!" - Kant
  • "Of what use is a philosopher who doesn’t hurt anybody’s feelings?" —Diogenes
  • "You're going off and dashing me from that great hope which I entertained; that I could learn from you what was holy and what was not . . . - and moreover that I could live a better life for the rest of my days." - Socrates
