Okay, time for a new philosopher thirst thread. Maybe we'll finally determine who has the biggest twink energy

Starting, obviously, with Kierkegaard. Beautiful man and definitely a contender for biggest twink energy.

Everyone knows old Schopenhauer who looked like a literal crab, but who would have thought young Schopenhauer was so handsome

Young Marx. Suave. Enchanting. I would definitely guillotine the bourgeoisie with this man.

Jumping ahead to young Deleuze. No twink energy, but you can feel the confidence and charm. The turtleneck is inspired, and his fingernails are short.

Taking a hard left to the young Quine who is rivalling Kierkegaard for twink energy here. It's unbelievable that such as beautiful boy could have grown up to be a naturalist.

The young Karl Barth

The young Tarski

And, his friend, the young Stefan Banach. A mathematician, but we can count those

Speaking of non-philosophers, here's the young Lacan. I don't like including Lacan in lists of philosophers, but he's so hot here. And he knows it. Look at that tuft of chest hair.

When Foucault had hair

Not an endorsement of his recent publications, but here's the young Agamben from Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Gospel According to St. Matthew

Guy Hocquenghem. Stayed cute as he aged.

The young Merleau-Ponty. Can't find a larger photo unfortunately

Young Maurice Blanchot (apologizes to Levinas...)

Young Wilhelm Reich. I once read an article by a Catholic who said Reich looked like a compulsive masturbator.

I'm told this is John Rawls. Huge if true. Rawls might have bigger twink energy than both Quine and Kierkegaard here.

Back in France, the young Guy Debord. If this thread is disproportionately French that's due to my biases.

This is the best we've got of Bruno Bauer, but since I included that Marx drawing I think this is fine
