ITT: use your literary flow to come up with a more edgy phrase than "God is dead"
Can it be done, or was Nietzsche the absolute Edgelord?

It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.

What about in the long run we are all dead. For the guys who ever read an economics book which I don't imagine to be that many.

Rate my lackluster essay out of Joyce's toilet paper. But for serious, how awful is this?

We have, it is you that hasn't - at least properly. Don't read it for the plot, read it like you would read Ulysses; because it is really well received, you are going to look for flaws, so matter how good it is you are going to get disappointed. The "flaws" are part of the experience, read the book in a different way.
Read it again.
From the start.

It's supposed to be beautiful. And read slowly. Jeez, you can't speedread it or force yourself to read a lot of it everyday or whenever you don't feel like it, you'll kill it.
Buy a copy if you haven't so you don't need to keep renewing it from the library.

thanks thats actually quite helpful
I didnt want to buy a full guide 2 times the size of GR
man, in some parts I really dont understand what the fuck is going on, like he just starts rambling a bunch of weird shit but still haves some kind of coherence, I'm having difficulties following the plot, but the "headspace" some passages create compensates for it
Was Pynchon trying to top Ulysses without going full brekekkekkekekekkke?

I don't take it into account very often. Take Fahrenheit 451, for example. Bradbury fucked up his own execution and made the book about something else entirely.

Sanderson's worldbuilding is way overrated, I'll say that much. Good prose, though.

>>9247780
He's also a prude, which makes the story unrealistic and annoying.
My advice: Don't.

Is formal logic really relevant for doing philosophy?
16 Posts / 2 Images
View this topic
>>
Yes. If you are bad at formal logic, the easiest kind, how do you think you can handle much more complex logic of metaphysics for example
>>
>>9247657
It completely depends on what you're doing.
Most comtinentals don't use it (although pretty much all of them follow rehtoric rules in order to build solid arguments).
>>
Studying formal logic helps you break down arguments and identify fallacies and debate better even if you're more interested in continental style philosophy. I think it is required at most schools for a philosophy major.
What does "dialect" in general mean in philosophy?
I feel like there are as many dialects as there are colors, and I can't honestly describe it.
