It's a living language. New additions will be made as the culture demands them. Add to this flexible grammar rules, such as the ones governing contractions, and you have your answer

>dude the end of evangelion lmao

Are you new to philosophy in general, or just Nietzsche?

I started with the Gay Science

Zarathustra is probably the worst to start with

>>9144396
Just Nietzsche

just keep doing what you're doing and make sure to read poetry out loud when you can.

>>9144400
Reading them out loud is something I need to do more. I usually just vocalize in my head, but it's probably not the same.

at least, are there magical realist novels written by urban blacks?

>>9144360
That does not sound like magical realism
Magical realism focuses on the realism not the magic

I'd read that.

That's a nice doggo.

I really recommend Kafka for reading if you're trying to pick up German, especially if you've already read some translations. I'm not great at German by any measure but still found his works relatively easy to follow.

They were redpilled as fuck, if that's what you mean.

>I don't understand deliberate juxtaposition of conservative ideology with the results of liberal dominance of the zeitgeist since 1789

Who lets these people write

>It's a contradiction that won't hold.

Gee, I wonder if this prediction will come true, unlike all the others that haven't lately.

de Sade was an early advocate of communism

Mostly by writing a lot of prose. And even then you're probably going to be shit.

>>9144002
Okay, better question: how do I recognize shit prose in my own writing and what about it makes it shit?

With practice you learn to weed out your bad habits and become a better editor. Also, read the masters of your chosen genre. Find out what it is about them that you like so much and analyse their work.

Thread sucks. Frogs and "be me" and using the word "tard". Bad all around.

I'll give you my honest opinion:

The only reason I read this novel was because a dear friend of mine amiably suggested it to me, thinking that I would enjoy reading it; and being the kind soul that I am, I agreed.

Well, I was immediately put off by all the philosophical ramblings about mastering your own instinct, soul, and his contemplating of suicide and what it would mean to him.

The story itself was rather banal, and, at times, I had to force myself to read through parts.

The protagonist was also trite, as the intellectual recluse-type has been done so many times before. I also found hard to sympathize with him, considering that he was such a wretchedly timid man who complained like a woman. It got old fast.

In conclusion, I won't be reading any more works by Hesse.

The only thing that cures existential crisis is been occupied with other things, like love our work. You will never be able justify your own existence, for existence is not necessary.

>>9143695
Everything is much more simple than you think, and much more complex, start with what is necessary, and then build up from there
