wtf faggots you said it was a comedy
it wasnt a comedy

I think of optimism as an emotional disposition that anticipates, or recognizes, good things. But value nihilism is committed to there being no good things.

Help me out, /lit/! What's going on here?

stop

Optimistic nihilism isn't a thing. What these idiots are thinking of is optimistic pessimism.

it's because it's a split in the French. basically, as well as LARPing as Heidegger scholars, Sartre and Beauvoir said some weird shit that Americans really liked. Some of the other postmodernists called them out about this to various degrees, but Marxism was very trendy at the time, and France still had drugs coming in from the colonies along with the freedom fighters/terrorists/WWII pensioners the Algerian was was making, so into the mix of legitimate Marxist critique (which maintains, like postmodernism, that all narratives arise out of their context) you also get some batshit crazy Marxist-Freudianism resurging (Reich) along with the translation errors of Sartre, and none of that's bound to work out as anything other than an underage orgy.

The stuff /pol/ is complaining about are the Americans who then took that batshit crazy mai 68 mash up, and badly translated it again. The feminists in the US told Beauvoir they really liked her, and she told them to fuck off because she was ashamed of what she'd produced. All the other people who actually did Marxist crit had already told her to fuck off at that stage in France, so that became a whole other mess.

Confusing it with Marxist crit is understandable, because it gives place to context, but confusing Beauvoir with a competent Marx/Heidegger reader is all America.

great

Is it really his best?

>>10011637
Yes.

most good philosophy for the last 150 years has been anti-technology, anti-industrialism, anti-capitalism, anti-modernity

specifically primitivist stuff is harder to find, you might look into deep ecology like pantties linkola

it's for real men cuck. Ancient action flick. Fucking epic. Car crashes, murders, masculinity, women inferiority and lots of blood. Praise Kek

It's supposed to be a historical text, not just a play. Read it as such.

checked

And you should've read something like Hamilton's Mythology book beforehand. Other than that, most of the names don't actually matter. But if you want to be a true patrician, keep a piece of paper and pen(cil) handy when you read, make family trees, take notes, etc.

I'm finishing the Illiad now, and the names that recur enough tend to stick. Those that don't, probably weren't so critical anyway.

This was the first time in my life I remember feeling really scammed by a book.
