Everyone is Greece was a pedo. They were also the founders of modern civilization.

Pretty much every pre 20th century was a pedophile. We can talk all we want about how Mohammed wants to fuck a six year old but Islamic law holds that you can only consummate marriage at puberty. Know what other country has laws that say that? All of them.

What are the best books on the history and philosophy of the Middle Ages?

History of Philosophy volumes 2 and 3 by Frederick Copleston
>>

>Middle Ages

To vague and broad. You need to be more specific about the region, subject or period. The Middle Ages lasted from about 476 until 1453. But contrary to common misconceptions, there was a lot of diversity in thought during this period.
>>
For history I would suggest reading the biographies of the kings written at the time. They are pretty inaccurate as far a true history of the leaders , but they usually show what kind of values they held back then. The two lives of Charlemagne is pretty good.

Is the book worth the time sink? The latest king book I've read was under the dome and I thought it was 600 pages longer than it needed to be.

>Attempting deep readings of Stephen King

I think we know who the idiot is here. It is as it is. Flagg is Flagg. He is the same asshole in the Gunslinger and in Eyes of the Dragon and he exists in the same phenomenon and cosmos that powers IT. It is not a complex book. It is a simplistic book using simplistic themes. I would be embarrassed to show my breadth of knowledge regarding Stephen King, but I read all of these more than 15 years ago, whereas you, someone who presumably is 18+, is reading them now.

It seems like (many) Europeans strive to imitate the worst aspects of American pop culture.

Does anyone know good works on the americanization/cultural homogenization of European culture?

They were all degenerates, doing drugs and alcohol while having sex they later regret. There's a reason most went on to commit suicide later on.

Can someone help me out here?

Im trying to understand psychoanalysis and have been recently reading about Lacan online inspired by my inability to grasp some of Zieks concepts. I wanted some actual book recommendations on the subject.

Also I wanted to know if you guys would recommend reading Freud stuff to get a grasp of the field as a whole. I realize he is the founder more or less of psychoanalysis but I have been told that most of his ideas get either absorbed or thrown out by later thinkers.

Start by reading pic related AND a book about Lacan and his contribution to psychology, but do not read anything by Lacan since it's too difficult to parse for beginners.

I think most of psychoanlysis isn't really a thing, but then again most of clinical psychology isn't. I think, if you are really intrested in a deep understanding intellectually and spiritually i would suggest Carl Jung, if you like a pratically tool I suggest Eric Berne. Freuds works aren't that hard, but you can easily get it from a summary. The communist "interpretations" of psychoanlysis are so far fetched, that mostly it's hard to argue that the concept is really recognizeable.
