Can you not shitpost, o' faggoty ass poster with too much time on their hands?

Also don't expect too many other replies that this one - nobody gives a shit about this retarded thread. However, I hope you derive at least some pleasure from knowing that at least someone (me) took the time to reply to your pointless post.

Land wrote one left wing essay, and even then it was outer left
he was right wing for the majority of his academic career

Thank you, we must spread the word.

If anons aren't moved by this:

O ew'ge Nacht,
süsse Nacht!
Hehr erhabne
Liebesnacht!
Wen du umfangen,
wem du gelacht,
wie wär' ohne Bangen
aus dir er je erwacht?
Nun banne das Bangen,
holder Tod,
sehnend verlangter
Liebestod!
In deinen Armen,
dir geweiht,
urheilig Erwarmen,
von Erwachens Not befreit!
Wie sie fassen,
wie sie lassen,
diese Wonne,
Fern der Sonne,
fern der Tage
Trennungsklage!
Ohne Wähnen
sanftes Sehnen;
ohne Bangen
süss Verlangen;
ohne Wehen
hehr Vergehen;
ohne Schmachten
hold Umnachten;
ohne Meiden,
ohne Scheiden,
traut allein,
ewig heim,
in ungemessnen Räumen
übersel'ges Träumen.

Then you're not ready for true literature.

what don't you like about google docs?

i've used nothing else for several years

>>9200595
I don't like having to format text and stuff. I just want to write, dammit. I kinda like GetHermit but it doesn't allow for chapters and parts, and divisions like that.

> scientists want people to think they're cool so they spout bullshit about things they can't do yet

This just in, anon wants a million dollars.

>implying nick land didn't fundamentally alter the nature of space and time with an amphetamine-fueled snake-dancing cryptomeme in 1992 so that there is now no longer any possibility of a future in which he is not right

sheeeeeeeeeeeit anon learn to hyperstition

First quarter of Americana
Wife Noise
Costneropolis

i love dfw and pynchon, but i read white noise and it was very dry. i didn't laugh or learn anything through the narrative. i didn't even enjoy the prose. why do people praise it?

Correct. What was the point of Underwurst. Not gonna read 900 pages of that unless someone tells me why I oughta

>>9200298
Don't bother

I dunno, Presocratic metaphysics,
early modern mechanistic natural philosophy (Koyre's Closed World?),
enlightenment mechanistic metaphysics, Leibniz's metaphysics,
Newton's philosophy,
Newton's philosophical milieu when natural philosophical speculation was still completely mixed with taken-for-granted naturalism like we have in science today,
Goethe's Naturphilosophie and morphological science,
Schelling's Naturphilosophie,
the non-logic-obsessed neo-Kantians / "Back to Kant!" guys like Helmholtz
19th century science in general, that sort of 1850-1910 era of trying to figure out what the fuck are even the foundations of science, whether we should be thinking in terms of mechanics or determisms, whether law-like structures exist objectively

Some Marburg neo-Kantian philosophy of science, but they're mostly into logic
Cassirer's Substance & Function maybe?
Cassirer's bio of Einstein?

Bergson vs. Einstein

Process philosophy?

Hempel, Popper, covering-law model, colligatory concepts, Kuhn Feyerabend Lakatos, N.R. Hanson, G. Holton

Latour, Canguilhem, Bachelard, Foucault

Ian Hacking

Deleuze's metaphysics?

Many people are so averse to acknowledging her because of the inordinate praise she receives. This is a type of contrarianism aimed against diversity quotas.

Nobody here has read anything by her, or anybody else.

agree with you

What course would that be? You piqued my intrest

Dead Man was along the lines of Acid Western, I haven't finished it yet, but El Topo is another one of those. Begins with a man and a naked boy in the desert

>>9200216
looks like you meant to post in /fit/ not /lit/

>>9200237
It's just an undergrad course. The prof. is a McCarthy scholar, fairly good course but the discussion is a little weak. Mostly it's just about close reading and watching themes develop through the oeuvre

>acid western
That might be an interesting place to go, although I don't think I have a good grasp of what constitutes an acid western. Some scenes in BM, especially the first Comanche raid, are no doubt hallucinatory in a book of Revelation sort of way

Used to be Burroughs, now who knows

it's obvious
