It's your fault Protestants don't understand theology. You are responsible for every common Christian misconception about the Bible

nobody outside of the anglo world has heard or cares about you

FATAN AHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA

you stupid fucking nigger get out

>by saying every word, phrase, paragraph, chapter, story can be interpreted infinite different ways doesn't allow a discussion.

That's not how the majority of people in literature see it though. They see it the complete opposite way. It's why there is discussion.

um

oke first of all that's a heckin dumb way of reading Derrida.

there aren't /infinite/ ways of reading a text, there are potentially infinite ways of reading a text I guess, but there are as many readings of a text as there are subjects who read it. that seems p finite to me, in practice.

oke and then Derrida isn't saying that if you read a text in French and you don't know how to read French that that's some kind of beautiful new idyllic way of reading a text. what.

basically how Derrida and critical theories actually work out is that you take the "enlightened" woke whatever frameworks of understanding, like feminism and Marx and whatever, and then you come to a kind of consensus about what the work says and /does/ (performatively) to create a culture and what it reveals about the culture that created it.

why is it always so black and white with you people.

there's obviously an agenda with that shit too, which is to be woke I presume. like there's an ethics of it but if Foucault says that everything you tell yourself you are is a social construct, then who the fuck cares.

so yea, people who are opposed to woke agendas, which basically says that certain meaningless subjects should sacrifice their privileges to other meaningless subjects so it's fair??? for what??? justice is a narrative anyways? (I know Derrida doesn't say that but he kind of should, right?) then yea people aren't going to like that.

maybe read Sartre or something before you start acting like you know what Derrida is talking about.

although that may well be what he /intends/ to mean and that's what you're picking up on, but you're supposed to ignore what he intends to mean anyways, as an author?

idk it's confusing but that's a dumb question.

Depends. It happens in vernacular all the time but never use a conjunction in academic writing.

Is that really your question anon? Shouldn't it be "Can someone give me attention, please!"?
Ha, I've seen right through you! Check Mate, anon!

Stupid? No. Although at times I find a lot of continental philosophy in general to be incomprehensible, needlessly overcomplicated, trying too hard to be profound, or unfalsifiable bullshit I wouldn't say that the philosophers themselves are/were stupid.

>>9853488
You, on the other hand, are stupid.

Not stupid, just a bit pompous.

Lurk more faggot

I never got this book cover. What the hell is it? I just think of a turd monster or something when I see this.

I read the first one, don't really have any desire to read any more. Very cool story...really bad writing and execution. It feels like a bullied 14 year old wrote everything. It's annoying that someone is ritualistically killed with a knife every two pages.

Because he was a poor nasty solitary short brit.

they h8 us cuz they ain't us

Does anyone know where to find an English edition of De Corpore? And if it's good or not?

Its almost a different form of entertainment entirely.

The presentation of a good narrator can turn the worst of prose into an engaging listen. The inverse is also true, unfortunately.

Horrid heritage his hours honored
For the sake of his work, I can't be bothered.
Ah, Lovecraft. The textual joke.
For his name, smack I toke.
Designed to peak at human sin,
Only failure he called akin.

BASED!

Yes, on a plain text file and on Good Reads

no

I just keep books I've read on my e-reader, I plan to make a list out of it eventually. Sadly I don't have anything from before I started using an e-reader.

Nope, none exists.

I noticed that the UK just seemed to stop writing books after 1948

>>9853146
Do you count 1984? It was written in '48 but published in '49
