1. Philosophy / C. History of Philosophy / 1. History of Philosophy

19441	All philosophies presuppose their historical moment, and arise from it [Feuerbach]
	Full Idea: Every philosophy originates as a manifestation of its time; its origin presupposes its historical time.
	From: Ludwig Feuerbach (Towards a Critique of Hegel's Philosophy [1839], p.59)
	A reaction: There seems to be widespread agreement among continental philosophers about this idea, whereas analytic philosophers largely ignore, and treat Plato as if he were a current professor in Chicago.

1. Philosophy / C. History of Philosophy / 4. Later European Philosophy / c. Eighteenth century philosophy

9777	Kant was the first philosopher [Zizek]
	Full Idea: From today's perspective it is in a way clear that Kant was the first philosopher. Pre-Kantian philosophy cannot think in his transcendental aspect.
	From: Slavoj Zizek (Conversations, with Glyn Daly [2004], §1)
	A reaction: It is probably equally plausible to say that Kant was the last philosopher. More thought-provoking than true.
