That is, grossly inaccurate.

I mean, philosophers like ideological circlejerking nearly as much as red wine.

But that doesn't make their words useless. I should know, as one who has spent the past three months hunting down a copy of The Stranger.

Oh, that's an interesting book. Very slow-moving, though.

German philosophy is something I've never understood very much, in all honesty. At least, the "classic" 19th century variety.

Even Nietzche had some odd ideas.

Not really. But, the fighting style is similar to the prequels rather than the original trilogy.

I'd throw my 2 cents in, but im more of a fan of clones/stormtroopers over everything else.

Do you know about the Expanded Universe besides the Clone Wars?

I know quite a bit, but not enough. I do want to read about Thorne or Thrawn or how ever its spelt.

But when I'm on my 3DS, I'll not be able to edit because length constrictions. Also I can't be the sole one editing, because I'll be gone at camp in a few days and may not be able to edit on other days. So now we have length constrictions on certain systems I have to use, occasional absence, and too much pressure as problems.
So wtf do I do? :unsure:

Philosophy has had a pivotal role in political theory, the developement of the scientifical method, modern humanitarian ethics and several social sciences, including sociology.

Even Nietzche had some odd ideas.

Start from Kant. Not odd, not hard, agnostic on a religious standpoint, generally compatible with modern liberal humanist thought.

Though you need to know the basics of empiricism to give a look at him. I guess you did study Locke and Hume in Government or History?

I'm familiar, in short, with Locke. I've not read much of him, but he is clearly important to the modern political landscape, and so he, Hobbes, and Rousseau were discussed separately and in contrast with each other. Hume may have been mentioned in passing.

Kant was not, which always struck me as odd.

Indeed it is. He's the poster child of deontological ethics, which are pretty important in ideological theory.
