Is there any good Irish lit that is not postmodern autism?
I know they have some good playwrights, but I'm more interested in books
The four best known writers from Ireland, one of which you posted. O'brien, Beckett, Yeats, Joyce. Or maybe you're really as stupid as your post suggests

The Third Policeman is considered a masterpiece
If Lucifer is an archangel and archangels are lower in the choir than seraphim and cherubim, then why is he the second most powerful being in creation?
>>9257792
He rules in hell rather than serve in heaven

If you had read even the first six words of the wiki article from which you took your pic related, you would have realized that the hierarchy to which you refer was created by some dude several centuries after the death of Christ, and is only one of many that have been suggested.
Would you consider this book "good"?

If you're in the Humanities, claim that it was a literary experiment to unveil the cryptofascist nature of neoliberalism.
If you're in STEM, you're fucked.
>shit that never happened
You literally aren't allowed to send out mass emails without receiving prior review and approval.
Universities are a hotbed of autism. You think they never thought about preventing shit like this?

I think it's a bit too much to hope that this thread doesn't turn into memes, but why is Stirner wrong? What's the critique of his work?
>>9257649
That's not Stirner it's Hank Azaria.
>>9257664

Can anybody please help me choose a book out of this catalog, considering I've never read literature in russian (except for one dual language book)
Of course I'm looking for relatively simple vocabulary and moderate length.

How long have you been learning Russian?
Anyway, I read chekhov about half a year after starting my classes and I found it to be fairly manageable to read, so you might wanna try Three Sisters
>>9257686
+2 years probably, but I'm learning by myself, so that doesn't say much.
thank you for your suggestion!

Explain this
I have an answer to this paradox that I personally find very satisfying. For me it comes down to an issue of semantics. The paradox is rephrasing Gods inability as an ability.
Instead of saying
>"Can God create a rock so heavy he can't lift it"
We can rephrase it as
>"Can God not lift a thing he's created"
We know that God is ominpotent and we can define omnipotence, for the sake of this discussion, as the ability to create infinitely heavy things and the ability to lift infinitely heavy things.
So what we can again rephrase the paradox as
>Can God create an infinitely heavy thing and then not lift it?
The answer to which is yes, he can choose not to lift things
or
>Can God lack the ability to lift an infinitely heavy thing?
The answer to which is no, he can lift infinitely heavy things.

>modal fallacy
There's a reason no serious philosopher has used this argument for decades, OP.
>>9257663
Can you explain how the argument uses a modal fallacy?
