Philosophy has always been personal opinion and everybody's entitle to their own opinion just as much as a celebrated philosopher is to his. (Yes, HIS--ya don't find a large proportion thereof which are women).

“Philosophers think they are doing something wonderful, and reaching the pinnacle of learning, when they are clever enough to bestow manifold praise on such human nature as is nowhere to be found, and to make verbal attacks on that which, in fact, exists. For they conceive of men, not as they are, but as they themselves would like them to be.” ~ Baruch Spinoza, Tractatus Politicus#Spinoza #HumanNature #IdQuodEst
A colour portrait of the sublime philosopher Baruch Spinoza. He is soberly dressed in a flowing black robe and is sitting at a table with papers under his left forearm. A statuette of a female figure holding a solar globe is behind him and, beyond the open portico on which he seems to be sitting, we see the dome of a building, a cityscape, and a distant mountain.
