I'll regretably say The Stranger. Gave me affirmation of the feelings I was having at the time I read it and lead to a total reevaluation of my life.

You can find out yourself with some careful study of literature. I would suggest starting with the greeks.

It is good idea

>>9249709
It's a good idea to an extent. A lot of people on this site will tell you to read way more than you need to, though

I wasn't aware of that anniversary coming up, I've been reading a lot of Milton recently so probably will.

I wouldn't go that far: Dante's effort is better, for example. But it's certainly the top two or three greatest literary achievements in English.

>>9249650
I've only ever read translated the divine comedy, but have not found it to be as impossibly thick as Paradise Lost... Am I missing something by not reading it in its original language?

Also I think only Shakespeare can attain that level of perfection in english, but none of his plays individually stack up quite as strong as Paradise Lost... Chaucer could be debated but is so dated at this point.

>>9249632
>Will you read or hopefully re-read Paradise Lost for its 350th anniversery come april?
Probably not, unfortunately.

>can we agree it is the greatest litterary achievement of mankind?
It's the greatest work of poetry anyway.

I don't see a compelling reason to connect most of those events. I know in particular that the French Revolution was more inspired by advances in physiology and not physics through the physiocrats.

>>9249626
the political and scientific events don't have to be connected to each other, it's only insofar as they happen at the same time. Althusser's point is not that they are connected necessarily, just that whenever you get major advances in one, the other two are usually not far behind.

>>9249576
Their are major definable political events over the course of any lifetime, and science is always moving forward with new discoveries, this could be done for any philosopher as convincingly as the ones cherry picked in the picture. I mean hell the last one just says "developments in technology"
