I'd suggest Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy, edited by Philip J. Ivanhoe and Bryan W. Van Norden. I'm not a Sinophone, but I took a class on Chinese philosophy taught by a Chinaman who came to the U.S. to study analytic philosophy at my university. This book was good enough for him. I have the 2nd edition, there's some Han Fei in there.

Thank you for the recommendation, I will check that out. Does it cover any other Legalists? Also interested in the Book of Lord Shang.

>>9618025
I don't know if Xunzi counts as a legalist but he's as close as it gets.

>>9617613
Depends on what you need it for

Both you idiot.

I want to apostatize and i think it's very important to read the Bible first to see if i still have the same idea at the end. I want to read it because of its cultural value in the world and because i want to understand better everything that surrounds me. Is the first time i will do so i have no idea of the differences and don't know why there are two versions

Ok, but what's your opinion on Elaine Scarry?

>>9617547
Only familiar with Dreaming. Her imagination seems oddly limited-- or maybe my experience reading words is just profoundly different. She images too concretely, too slowly, too third-personly.
Consider the word 'river' --I don't really see it but (if this makes sense) feel it intensely. Something happens round the rim of my nostrils that occurs when i'm aware of the subtle smell of fresh river water, and the act of reading on from it (the word) is somewhat akin to the flow of the river itself, whether fast or slow.
I'm sure we all do things like this differently, almost unconsciously.
She does try hard, though. Is weirdly lovable. Has good taste in books.

I need someone to ghost write my diary desu

>>9618241
my diary desu

you owe me $$$$$$$

Just go on Craigslist, say that you'll write internet content, and whenever someone emails you (very occasionally) say that you'll do a sample. It's worked for me, and I've gotten paid reasonably well.

>>9617495
It isn't. The only thing relevant now is how many likes you got on your most recent instagram picture. The truth sucks right?

>>9617495
Puts me in mind of George Steiner's The Death of Tragedy- which IS still relevant. And relevant to this board.

>>9617495
Quite, considering some of the claims within were from a few years ago.

>I mean, it's not like certain entities really exist, pulling strings from behind curtains, right?
>...right?

I s'pose it's not the brightest thing to post or admit knowing on a public forum that has been logging data and known/frequented by intelligence agencies for a bit over a decade, most of which being known for reporting to certain entities.

Then again, the technology to control human emotions through the pulses of a television or monitor screen -- remotely through the internet, no less -- has been around for a few years already, so what could surprise anyone these days.
>Being SWAT'd, but even that's relatively expected once you go too far in any direction.

Too long to be an abridgement, and unlikely because it's Picador.
Know M&D's a Picador paper, however, and the typography in that one's fairly large, but also an original release.
Gotta be smaller type, more lines to page.
Check review of translation in NYRB.

Did a little research- the older version's the superior

>>9618875
in what way?

Any tips?

Anyone?

Not the right noard, faggot.

The Moncrieff translation is masterful. I have not read the original french version myself, but I've been told by people that have that the translation holds up well.

Remember that translations are works of art themselves

>>9617106
moncrieff is considered by many to have created one of the greatest translations ever

nietzsche

Marx

Le spooky Ego and his spooky Own

So what if I’m not some burned-out decadent faggot like these people

Why the fuck did you bump your own thread adter only 30 minutes on /lit/ - a relatively slow board.

To answer your question, nobody here has probably read that book, but it doesn't look particularly interesting.

No, Yoga is for MILFS and trustfund stoner twinks

>>9616677
Just have fun with it. Seriously

>>9616690

What do you mean?

>>9616677
Start with the Greeks
Resume with the Romans
Make your way through the Medievals
Return with the Renaissance
Remain with the Rationalists
Emerge with the Empiricists
Initiate with the Idealists
Engage with the Existentialists

Actual philosophy arguably ended with Heidegger.

Michael Hoffman is another good one.

>>9616499
I'll look him up, sounds interesting.
