What are some good books on meta-ethics for someone new to the subject? Both primary works and introductions/histories are welcome. Is "The Development of Ethics" by Terence Irwin a good place to get a grounding in ethics and meta-ethics?

Is it on the same level as AK and W&P? Is there great characterisation despite being preachy?

R really doesn't measure up to the two other bigs, but I cannot say that I didn't enjoy it. I don't know what all of the shorts you've read, but they're all strangely very good and R doesn't really measure up to any of them, either. Nonetheless read it. A late work , it isn't bad.

It was great. Better than his short stories, obviously not as good as his two novels.

Fairly easy in most places, but more often than not you'll find yourself in the business sector translating brochures about rugs

Have you noticed how a certain religion is conspicuously absent in science fiction's visions of future?

I've been reading pic related for the last 4 days or so. I'm on page 500 and it's an enjoyable read so far, but these characters are so melodramatic and one-dimensional it starts to become unintentionally funny. Seriously, you could make a Coldsteel edit out of Dagny or something.

What are some pulp fiction that have a nostalgic feel for the recent past? Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I read pic related and some of King's other novels when I was a teenager in the 2000's and felt a weird yearning for the 70's and 80's, which was mostly before I was born.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.
It was read at my Grandfathers funeral and i thought it was genuinely beautiful. What do you guys think?

I'm redpilled and I hate women. I imagine this is something women find beautiful. I think I'm inherently superior to women, so I find it vile and disgusting.

That's why I left academia and why I edit Wikipedia.
>read one page
>browse the internet at random for 45 minutes

The first person narrative made the book a real disappointment. All that time he spent crafting this dark, depressing door stopper could have been used to create something beautiful and lasting. Just a real waste all around.
He's also perverted, and not in the jolly "let's look up her skirt and find a clown face popping out" sort of way, or even the "I'm observing, recounting, or creating instances of perversion which are to effect you in the ways i see fit", but rather in a "I'm a cellulite ridden imp of perversity, I am going to allude to my very own depraved crevices constantly and clumsily and unsuccessfully attempt to pass it off as a theme perpetrated by one with higher skill than mine" style of perversity.
This is a good example of the boomer mindset that has unraveled the west (even if Gass is technically from the prior generation): decadence, with criticism turned inward, but unable to determine the actual source of the problem. This is the mindset that fucked us.

But I didn't post the OP. Obviously not everyone ignored them and thought they were shitty, now did they?
