T>his disparity needs some explanation, and I'm not sure I can supply it. Perhaps Europeans are more open to the quietness of the novel than Americans. Perhaps Americans have read more novels that resemble Stoner than we have (though what they might be I can't think). Perhaps American readers don't like its lack of "optimism" (there is no shortage of pessimism in American literature, but the national character is one of striving, of altering circumstances, rather than accepting them). Or perhaps they are merely lagging behind us, and will soon catch up. When I put these points to the novelist Sylvia Brownrigg, she responded: "The reticence seems very not American to me. In spite of the American setting, the character himself feels more English, or European – opaque, fundamentally decent,and passive … Perhaps the lack of the novel's taking hold in the US is because it doesn't feel like One of Ours? We're such a country of maximalists, noisy ones, and though obviously there are exceptions, even our minimalists are not spare and sad in this particular way … Another thought crossed my mind: that there is little drinking in Stoner. I wonder if American characters who are self-contained and stoical (I am thinking of Carver, or Richard Yates) more often have to be alcoholics to rein themselves in, and accept their disappointments."

Montaigne's are the best, i.e. the most mind expanding, but I love Addison and Steele's Spectator series, Coleridge's The Friend Essays, and among the still living W. H. Gass is the generally acknowledged master in English. Just finished his series Finding a Form, and it was excellent.

Hazlitt's, Chesterton's, and Emerson's are my favorites. Their style is what I enjoy the most.

>Religion and State exist to give objective morality to the world.
>Without the freedom to be benevolent on one's own terms, true virtue does not exist.

Thoughts?

Not many of those on this board, friend.

>>9996876
No. My virtues align with that of Religion and State. We're either gone, I would act in an identical matter to how I do now.

The presence of Religion and State ensures that people do not confuse morality with being relative, therefore preventing people from justifying immoral actions (such as what youre trying to do now.)

In other words; people share common morality, so they band together to hold accountable those who think stealing and murdering and is ok.
>>
>>9996901
Justifying what immoral action? My argument is that someone can only be virtuous without the promise of a reward (afterlife, karma) or without a risk of punishment. That isn't to say that one's own beliefs can't align themselves with religious or state law. I'm not justifying any evil, because what I see as an evil is still something I will try to avoid.

Beginning Theory: An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory 3rd Edition by Peter Barry is a decent read.

Spinoza isn't really a pantheist in its contemporary sense, he clearly sees a distinction between God and everyday material things. God contains the material and mental universe, but also reaches beyond it into aspects incomprehensible to human beings. Panentheism, rather than pantheism.
>>
>>9996619
What can I read that deals with contemporary pantheism? So far as I can deduce, it's basically materialism and atheism with a productive and happy mentality to go along with them.

In order to determine the a priori conditions of experience via the transcendantal thought, you don't need any kind of a posteriori knowledge.

You obviously have no clue of what Kant said.
