die verwandlung

some british "history of philosophy" that was actually just a bunch of anti-german war propaganda, and i don't mean the one by bertrand russell but a different and shittier one

Your diary desu

>counting
>counting in different and complicated ways

Yeah, this has nothing to do with actual, critical thinking. "Numbers" themselves aren't even real. Either all is infinite or all things are one.

>Defense of philisophy
>It's pure sophistry

Is it compatible with piracy?

Wow, if that's legit, yes, it could be worth something. Be careful with it. She's a figure of major historical and intellectual interest - she was the founder of the Theosophical Society which was a large current of thought in the European fin de siecle milieu. Attracted a lot of figures and had a wide reach through its aftershocks and breakaways. I think Yeats was very briefly a member, to give an example. Guenon was a breakaway, as were Anthroposophy and Perennialism to certain extents. There would be a lot of people interested in Blavatsky material and I don't doubt there's both academic scholarship on her and "amateur esoteric" collectors out there.

Thats some pretty specific info, are you as familiar with antique books as you seem? Because im part of a very poor family and would really like to call the right people to sell it to

>>9390746
Yes, jesus christ OP.
She's one of the most important figures in the so called New Age movement. The nearest Theosophical Society will be highly interested.

>>9390690
i read no books nigga haha!!

Keep in mind that Don Quijote is still a much better book than Ulysses.

The complexity of Ulysses, by the way, is fake complexity. If you want real complexity, learn a new language, become a polyglot. Now that is something that takes *actual work*, so I am pretty sure most people on this board will not do it, or most anglophones at least.

>>9390703
Ulysses is fake complexity? do expound on that sentiment, if you would.

>>9390591
No because I'm not spirit science.

>>9390615
lol. look it up before running your mouth

"Argues that, in advanced industrial societies, pluralistic religions and social systems and structures and multi-dimensional selces must replace the unworkable, outmoded order of monotheism, the sovereign statesm and the unitary self."

>>9390654
by that description it looks like new world order bullshit

>>9390343
Old boring white guy. I'd prefer to read from the narratives and performative constructions of Texan slaves or the Latinx community in America. American history isn't only about white people. Learn to listen to marginal, marginalized, indeed people from the interstices of identities, communities, and modalities, libidinal, social, environmental, spiritual; quit othering THESE parts of American culture and history!

They're a Paine to read.

>>9390361
this pretty much sums it up

>Romans
>Evil

That said, they're a lot funner than Nazis. If you want an evil Emperor, make it a batshit Roman. If you want an evil Empire, Nazis.

>>9390334
Why not both?

>>9390355
Now hold on, that sounds suspiciously like "effort"

Unless you mean like what >>9390349 said and just make it a Nazi empire ruled by a Roman Emperor for no discernible reason

For the legions of faceless mooks, what shade of black should I make their armor which doesn't do anything?

>>9390294
I know what you mean OP

I've only read the Wikipedia page for Hegel and already I get the sense that he has the most profound insights of all philosophy.

The chapter on 'ground' fucked me up.

The Fall by Camus

I watched the anime, it was alright

Read Nana by Zola

>>9390085
i love that book. have you read catch-22?
also, i'd suggest don quixote, but read it as though it were serious. you might try some russian literature, like crime and punishment. oh, and definitely check out some dickens, like little dorrit or david copperfield.

*Smoke and Sound

I believe he has the brain to create great works of fiction, but he doesn't think critically in the right manner about what he's creating.

I read his work, and it's very far from Stephen King.

I understand that visualization is an important part of writing, but I can't believe that it's everything.

I worry about the kind of cartoon we'll be making if I'm adapting something that can't stand on its own as a written work. I worry about pouring hours upon hours in-betweening something that will ultimately fall on its face due to a bad foundation.

The prose.

from what i've read of lost illusions, prototypical bildungsroman combined with classism. he wrote a really neat essay on coffee. you should check it out.
