New Vegas is my favorite video game of all time next to Dark Souls. I'm just saying, you listed the names of a bunch of books you could've posted the covers of but went with a Fallout poster.

I am looking to get ahold of Plato's works and ideally would like them in paperback however the price is quite a lot. I do however have a Kindle and every work of Plato that I would need is on there for free but I'm not sure how good the translation will be. What is the best version to get?

There is no best version. You should be reading these books multiple times so there's no reason you can't try multiple different translations. Watch this video:

The translations are Benjamin Jowett's btw.

How do I get into this bastard? He's got so much material, I have no idea where to even start, and he seems more worth reading Freud.

Except he's not. Go start with the Greeks and work your way and you'll see what a hack retard he is

Kind of like Freud, you start with his early work on the unconscious, or his last book.

Hypersincerity. It manifests in a mirrorlike way comparatively, violence, overreaction, flawed reasoning and seemingly justified fury.
David Foster Wallace was a victim of the end of Post-Modernity, he wrote an end to an era, spoke of new sincerity as the next movement. Purity of essence and despite knowing the deconstruction of all morals and meaning, going on in spite of it, adhering to ethics though they mean nothing, religious zealotry though god is dead.
He proclaimed that art would reflect this new sincerity. I think it has in one particular piece very well known.
Fight Club. What's more sincere than a fight? No lies can be told there, none should, none need to be. The violent urge to live a double life, the inner conflict of the sincere man and the man lying to himself. The cynic and the Ubermensch.
Anyway, that's just my take on it.

Anyone read any of her works?
Background: I'm currently reading through the NT and although I'm enjoying it I'm not getting that "click" moment where it all falls together. I can enjoy it for what it is and to a degree see where others find comfort in it however it feels far too much like a product of its time and location with much of each teachings simply feeling only relevant to the time and culture in which it emerged (in contrast to say the doctrines of the Pali Canon which seem more satisfyingly universal)
Now although I'm fundamentally a materialist, in practice at least, I am open to the existence of God, or at the very least idealism over materialism thus I'm looking for works to challenge my already established beliefs. So far out of all the Christian writers I have investigated only two seem to stand out so far: Kierkegaard (who I have already made a decent dent with) and Weil (who I have yet to read at all). The former makes a strong case for faith and the latter (as far as I can tell) seems capable of resolving the issues of the problem of evil.
tl;dr, Anyone read Weil? Sell me on her works? Christian esotericism/mysticism general.

I'd suggest reading Susan Sontag's essay on Weil before reading any of her works. Weil's ideas are intense and basically impossible to put into practice without exploding. She also takes alot of liberties with Biblical interpretation (she ignores the entire OT) so maybe she aint the best reference for understanding the Bible. That being said, she had a stunning ability to bring the Christian mysteries to life through metaphor.

Thanks for the recommendation anon.
>She also takes alot of liberties with Biblical interpretation (she ignores the entire OT)
Honestly this is part of the appeal. Because of my familiarity with scholars such as Stavrokopolou I can't see the OT being anything more than it is; a collection of jewish writings and mythology, written hundreds of years after the fact (for a specific audience and purpose) that are riddled with contradiction and allude to judaism's pre-monotheistic origin. This is of course not to say that the OT is worthless it's just something worth taking into account when reading it.

I just picked up La personne et la sacré from the library, anon. Strange coincidence. I feel kind of lonely in my fascination with her thought, ever since reading L'enraciment.
