8 is a nod to Freud who had a theory that everything went back to either your mother or your father depending on your gender, amongst other things. "He must have had mommy issues", "She must have had daddy issues" etc
12 refers to the name for a group of crows, which is a murder Two crows don't quite make a "murder", hence it's attempted

Descartes was one of my favourite Philosophers I ever got to study :')
I didn't much like the way he used his Cogito to define the existence of God, but for the self at least it was comforting.
"I MAY NOT HAVE A BODY, BUT AT LEAST I HAVE MY THOUGHTS."
Very comforting, I'd rather not have a body and have my mind than lose all thought and just be a walking shell, yno?
It's why some people's definition of death scares me:
"What do you think happens when you die?"
"Nothing, you just cease to be."
"What, so it's just black and you're stuck with just your thoughts?"
"No, it's not even black, it's not even anything, you don't even have your thoughts."
HOW can people think that? D: *cry*

Yes that is rather bleak to say the least.
I like most of the philosophers, simply cause regardless of their argument they make you really consider life and existence.
I studied the usual suspects, in Plato, Socrates and Aristotle. Descartes and Nietzsche, but the one that gave me the headache most was Derrida. I did a massive paper on him, which took me weeks to write, but ended up with the highest mark ever given by that Prof. So it was all worth it in the end.

Descartes and Nietzsche were my favourites to study.
I goddamn love Thomas Hobbes from a Historical P.O.V and the context of his life completely justifies his Philosophy - however grim an outlook he might have had on the world. The guy lived through 3 Monarchs and the English Civil War; he saw the worst of mankind, watched his beloved King be beheaded, forced to flee the country. He met with Descartes, tutored the future King of England, and as a result was saved from execution by said King when his books - and in turn Hobbes himself - was deemed Atheistic.
The guy was badass!

I will have to have a look at Hobbes, I don't think I read him. You read Bishop Berkeley? He is interesting too, breaking down his arguement was a lot of fun.

Hobbes was one of the Social Contract theorists. He wrote The Leviathan amongst other things. He had a very bleak outlook on Human Nature.
And nope, but I shall have a look for sure!

Although I said no, I do recognise his argument so he may have been a lesser philosopher used for one of our major studies. o~o;'

If I remember correctly he was about how we perceive matter. Interesting stuff.

Aye, he's like an anti-Empiricist in a way; when we don't see it, it doesn't exist. Perception is just trickery of the mind, objects aren't real, yadayada.
I feel sorry for any Philosopher who TRULY believed that.
"I don't need to eat, food isn't real, heck I'm not real"

really?

You are in a room looking at a chair, you walk out of the room, the chair no longer exists. You walk back in, the chair is there once more.
So, In your departure from the room you no longer exist to the chair?.
Matter is matter no matter what. haha
Just in that top sentence there is fun to be had.

I remember John Locke had an argument concerning Free Will and locked doors. He said we cannot have Free Will, and his analogy was that you wake up in a locked room, yet without checking the door you decide to simply stay there. You have the illusion of Free Will - you think you can simply stand up and leave the room when you want to - but the fact that the door is locked means that in the end you would be unable to anyway.
Sat in class, when this was brought to our attention, I simply said: but isn't choosing to sit there your free will? and if you were to stand up and try the door, isn't that also you using your free will to at least *try* and leave the room?
It's odd how people look at things so differently, Free Will doesn't mean you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT it means you have the ability to at least try. After all, we exist within the laws of physics; I may want to walk through a wall, but the fact that it's solid matter prevents me from doing so. It doesn't mean I can't walk into the wall Harry Potter style and find that out for myself.
The funny thing is, John Locke was a Libertarian and is one of the founding fathers of the US Constitution (his Philosophy heavily influenced it, specifically the "Life, Liberty and Property" argument) - Liberty (Freedom) but not Free Will. *Shakes head* It's strange!!
