Thomas Aquinas wrote that faith should be legislated. Those without it should be persuaded. If persuasion doesn't work, we should kill them.

We can therefore pin all inquisitions on him. It's not clear what part of the New Testament he was aquainted with. Jesus never said faith should be legislated (did he?) Plato did.

So if we can blitz any philosopher with the stupidity of their followers, have we just made a case for outlawing philosophy?

Only if all philosophy followed that bit of nonsense from Aquinas, yes. But, of course, even that bit of nonsense from Aquinas is not Aquinas's whole philosophy, and it is certainly not what philosophy is all about.

However imo some of the philosophy should be labled as outdated and only for fools.

How would you label it?

Aquinas and Plato, in this case. So if I insinuate that a philosopher should be ignored because of his political position or influence on society, I myself should be ignored?

I'm left wondering to what extent philosophers influence society vs. how they stand as a gold-plated rationale. People can be very strange. I don't rule out that people might have actually been killed because of Thomas Aquinas.

In the free world the fool can lead fools ..but never punished just as long as nothing criminal happens by that.
We must allow them freedom of speech, because too many times we have considerd great knowledge for foolish, see Darwin's Evolution Theory.

Well you do have to take into consideration that the philosophers of antiquity lived in differsnt times and had , for the most part, less insight thatn us in the present . So saying it's only for fools is a bit harsh, we must simply aknowledge that it is aoutdated and perhaps obsolete.
Also, outawing certain philosophical doctorines is innefective. Think how the Despots outlawed Enlightenement philosophes. They tried but failed horridly. Censorship can only go so far and for so long. Another point is that by arbitrarly restricting knowledge risks having the people turn on you and embracing that knowledge, even though it is wrong/inccorect/malcious ect. It wuld be more logical, and it is what most philosphers have done, to instead provide a solid counter argument that exposes the fallacy of the doctorine's logic.

to me this is the same thing as thought and questioning should be outlawed

a bizzare thread

Hex hammer should be outlawed.

Just cheering you up. Nothing more. Philosophy for lazy bums.

If it were not for your phrase, "for the most part", I would very strongly disagree with your claim. Whenever I hear people say that moderns are more sophisticated than ancients, I tend to think of Epicurus, and how his views are far more in line with modern scientific thinking than virtually all philosophers after him up to the modern age, and more in line with scientific thinking than some very modern philosophers, and how he is more in line with modern scientific thinking than most modern people. Indeed, with a few minor adjustments that do not affect his essential ideas, he can be brought completely in line with the latest in scientific thinking. Of course, that is why the Christians in the Dark Ages burned all of the books of his that they could find.

Let's say our philosophy is like medical sience, would you like to be operated by a doctor from medival time?

lets say its not ...

what is your point ?

With outdated philosophy there are no consequenses for speaking nonsens, beliveing in a flat world ..it's harmless.

With outdated medical sience, you will produce very disasterous results, because such outdated knowledge has direct consequenses.

People don't realize that outdated philosophy is outdated, because they never see any end result, only by observing a direct endresult they can better understand, else they will forever live in their naive world of babbeling thoughts.
