The argumentum ad hitlerum is a special case of argumentum ad hominum.

It means arguing against the person who made the argument rather than responding to the argument itself.

Right, it is a joke. Everybody knows that Hitler was a fascist, and so pointing it out is kind of silly.

Oh my goodness, I forgot one of the most important areas of philosophy - epistemology. I'm a critical realist and a coherentist there.

Eco-Humanism.

Enlightened Technogaianism.

All philosophies are for me just tools to conceptualise and simplify values in order to be able to formulate them, so I would know what I want.
