D. The Chaotic Age: 20th Century

I'm not saying this is the end-all answer of course, but it might be of help.

The French Revolution should begin the Late Modern Period, so with Hegel, and end around WW2, with Heidegger.

Add a period between Jesus and the Apostolic Age to the Fall of Rome. Perhaps denote it as Early Christianity as it is very different from the time of the Greeks and Romans.

Everything else seems correct imho.

I'd say lump thinkers into their respective by the date of the publication of their major work(s).

>How to find the motivation to write and keep focused?
I'm a fucking NEET right now and I hate it. Writing makes me feel like I'm doing something productive instead of reading/watching anime/shitposting/fapping/vidya

>If you get published and recognised someday, would you recognise that you're a 4chan user?
Yes because I know how much the autists here would hate me.

that's a particularly retarded looking screencapshot, good job original postar !

He looks like that actor that came in his nose in Scary Movie 2

How gay of y'all to not even want to know the itihasa!

>>9512115
I read an odd handful of hundred pages of the mahabhtataararaddsa, and the bhagagfadvdvda gita. I have to say, it's a lot of brainwashing, especially those ridiculous passages poeticizing the sacredness of cows, which I enjoy eating, though I am of partial pajeet descent. Most of the rest seemed like filler building up towards the bhdagacvda gita, which I do acknowledge as a supremely profound work of literature, though I can't seem to remember how it's spelt.

But that's not the reason I don't want to read with you. The style of anime you posted is mad gay. Downvoted, faggot.

>it's a lot of brainwashing, especially those ridiculous passages poeticizing the sacredness of cows

It's well known that Indian epic poetry exists mainly for the purposes of sectarian proselytizing.

It's not unlike the Canterbury Tales, which was written to convert the already-Christian English to Christianity.

I've been reading the Iliad for the past few months (I've adored it thus far). I think it's to reinforce the image of the character to the listener; keep in mind the epics were recited orally. What-is-said is not not coded as well as what-is-read.

>>9510166
It's to get it stuck in your head so you don't forget, cause they did a lot. Keep in mind they were slow at that time

>>9510187

I have to agree with this. The Iliad is a perfect illustration how an oral epic is distorted and mangled when it's written without proper editing to match the medium.

>What the heck is his problem?
He's too fat.

>>9502996
He's grown very wealthy, and he knows that he doesn't actually need to finish it anymore, and that the show writers will complete the series with or without him, and that his legacy is already established, and that many of his book readers have already lost interest, and there are far more people who watch the show than read the books now, and so his incentive for finishing a ~1500 page book is lower than it ever has been in his career, and he is sad about it, but also secretly relieved because he can die fat and satisfied no matter what he does.

>>9502996
>What the heck is his problem?
Well how about:
>responsible for the most iconic book series and TV series of our generation
>millions of fans eagerly awaiting the conclusion

I've been making notes on a script I wanted to write for about 2 months now, and then all the sudden I find out that there's 2 movies very similar to what I had in mind coming out soon, so I kind of lost a bit of interest in actually writing the thing.

What does it matter? If it's an original idea by you at its core, why give a shit if it's been done?

>>9521534
Not literary authors.

Not taking quality into account I thought the Sellout was extremely funny, the man booker longlist is better representative of the literary milliu. Patterson and his ilk is all about low-brow middle aged women who UGH are so busy and just want to sit down with something mindless and get away from UGH my husband and kids.

there are probably a hundred 'david foster wallace' types slumming it right now, trying to get their masterpiece published but to no avail

the truth is that the demos who read books are retarded these days, so they're never going to get published or probably even noticed. if you want to see the next rising star of literature, you should check tumblr periodically, or wherever else young retarded girls hang out

Pessoa-chan is /lit/'s greatest hope of producing something worthwhile
