Why would it be? Books do fit this category.

> Watership Down
> Wind in the Willows
> Alice In Wonderland
> Through The Looking Glass
> The Hobbit

The closest thing to it being oxymoronic I guess is that children's literature is also widely enjoyed by adults.

>>9894860
dont we need a certain level of maturity to appreciate the literary aspects of these works though? To kids they're just stories.

>>9894849
Of Anselm I have no comment. But Stirner (like Weiniger) is rarely mentioned outside /lit/. One book that does vaunt Stirner at the expense of Nietzsche is Calasso's fantastic The Ruin of Kasch. If yet unread, read it.

The only part of him that gets mentioned is his ontological proof. It's important because philosophers like Descartes argue for it and Aquinas and Leibnitz against it.

>Why this idiot is so important for the history of philosophy?

Eh he's not, where did you get the idea he is?

>>9894829
Same for the tanakh?

Jewish Study Bible

I heard this one is good

>he doesn't like Socratic method
>he can't put himself in the place of interlocutor

just give up family. read some derrida instead.

>>9894636
If Socratic method is finding 1 overly specific situation where something is untrue and using it to invalidate an idea then no I don't like Socratic method.

No. By the time he had written, and the way he had written, some of the tropes he was using were the same as the romatic ones.
He may have kicked inovation, but his work wasent 100% cut off of the trends at the time.

>>9895332
Agreed. It isn't really even an 'attack' at all. But if it is, then the target's general human stupidity or, less actively, helplessness.

I don't read very often, and at the moment haven't done so in a long while. But I do write, and according to some who proof read what I've done, it's a positive influence on my writing style and plot lines.
Largely because it doesn't seem to be influenced by any author but still somehow appears familiar.
At least that's what I get told.

>>9894254
That's right, most people on this fucking board read and write shit at the same time. Result? During the week in which they read Infinite Meme their prose sounds like the one of Foster Wallace, a week later it sounds like fucking Hegel, a week later like Salinger, and you can bet that after another two weeks they'll start writing in terza rima because they've just read Dante, and so on!

>>9894266
Suppose the good thing of picking up influences from what you read is that I keep reading my own stuff thanks to revision.
Mostly come on here to see if there are tips getting published or perhaps to help formulate an idea on a book cover.

Also if you wish you may post some of your favorite biographies here.

A real writer doesn't submit a first draft to anyone, even their beta readers.

>>9894253
It's not so much that I want to be a real writer as I want to have a better rounded work.

>>9894074
Just read Lucio Colletti's texts about Marx.

>>9894074
Read Marx's addresses and letters and such. Much more succinct and passionate.
One of the addresses to one of the internationals has an awesome line about arming the entire proletariat at once with muskets and cannons.
P gud stuff mayne

>>9894074
Depends on what you mean about "leftists". SJWs or the real communists?

>>9894072
Why does it matter?

>>9894084
Because if the page count is wrong, maybe the title is wrong too?

>>9894084
Mine's 321; 351 with the appendix
Different publishers use different pages tabs and sizes.

he looks like a guy who gambles a lot

>>9893769
Fuck off.

He's a good egg.

Haven't read it so I have nothing of worth to contribute. Would you recommend it?

I really liked it. It kept me interested throughout and hat beautifully written parts.
The dancing-in-the-attic scene was great.

sounds fuckin gay desu mate

What does the realist say to the disputed statement "the pencil case is 30 cm in width"

Is not all realism scientific realism?

>>9893683
Can we get mutual agreement on whats classified as realism? Partly because it might help us answer some of the questions in this thread and also because I'm not sure of it's definition myself.

>>9893646
why does that matter. besides being thankful for their help during the war there is nothing else admirable about PNG; unless you like hiking jungle.

webcomic-tier cover

>>9893650
I agree. The second edition cover is great.

Is it worth it? I've seen the movies and they are fantastic, is the book better?
