No. It really isn't. The most interesting and relevant work is, as you've noted, largely contemporary. If you want to look into the history of it at all, you can read some of the early-moderns, but a lot of their stuff is outmoded for the simple reason that we know a lot more about the brain/mind now.

Cogsci and "philosophy of mind" people are literally fucking retarded and know absolutely nothing. Actual children playing with toys.

She's an Indian immigrant to Canada who became famous after an instagram stunt involving menstrual fluid. I don't think anyone with a Y chromosome has ever willingly purchased or read her book.

Did not age well, that I can tell you.

I think he's kinda concealed influential person.
The type of one that noone knows, but had a massive legacy left behind.

I'm going with the most plebeian opinion, but, yeah.
Murder in the rue morgue is my favourite.

a very bad writer and an even worse poet, which is a shame because his visions are exceptional and inescapable

Could you please elaborate?

>>9720767
Yes and yes.
