Hermeneutics my friend.

Pragmatism, beginning of course with Peirce, who is based as fuck.

Saussure and the structuralists developed independently of Wittgenstein.

Heidegger is there but didn't write that much on language in Being & Time itself. There's the thing that Derrida read the structuralists and Heidegger, never really read Wittgenstein but managed to get similar conclusions to the late W.

After the Linguistic Turn, all philosophy is heavily invested in language, no matter the tradition, but the conclusions appear similar enough to the point that even the neopragmatists, of all people, would read Heidegger and Derrida, and also Wittgenstein again.

manga and graphic novels fucking suck at conveying emotion

Maybe if you're a shit artist, but not if you git gud.

Granted a majority of manga artists are retards who just willy nilly throw faces around and don't set anything up. There's never been ambition in the industry until me desu

Oh shit my dude, literally the most innovative writing of the millenia xd

Visual Novels are the most patrician form of literature

down in flames
up in waves
the faux drama of this phrase
has stolen too many days
from my uncertain heart

I stare at the beach, at the blue waves sloshing and frothing mightily and lazily, so at ease with their power.
I see my past.
Childhood memories of salty green adventure, heart pumping with each muddy step out to open sea.

I see my past.
Childhood memories of salty green adventure, heart pumping harder with each muddy step out to open sea. Excitement is here! Happiness is taking that every new step toward the conquering of primordial fear. A little war, waged in high spirits.

The Social Construction of What? by Hacking opens with a very lucid explanation.

Social constructs are spooks

All of them are social constructs because none would exist without society.

>not doing what you like
>not reading what you like

What, then?

I take Nabokov's opinion on literature as my criteria.

There are three types of literature.
1. To entertain.
This is the lowest form, where you will find contemporary shit like twilight, 50 shades which manages to entertain a few sad fucks.

2. For education.
Not necessarily ntellectually superior to the reading where entertainment is the sole purpose, but often higher than that. An important ingredient.

3.For enchantment.
The creative part of literature. The part where an author becomes an artist, and bewitched the reader with his work.

Truly great literature combines these ingredients in varying forms.

why would you care what your illiterate friend thinks about books
Are you trying to get him to read more?

13 or 14 was normal age for marriage back then. It'd be dumb to apply today's moral values to judge the past.

Modern as in current, or Modern as in TS Eliot, Pound and other poets in the Modernist movement, around the end of the Belle Epoque period?

>>9089856
I know of modernist poetry. I'm looking for current poets. Do you have any suggestions?

I could use this thread too. As much as I like to read older works, I really could use some poetry written in our era that doesn't absolutely suck and reek of "muh vagina."

Dunno but this should do the trick

Jorge Luis Borges, Book of Imaginary Beings

Could you perhaps be thinking of the Time-Life "The Enchanted World" subscription book series? The "Ghosts" volume had a pretty cool Black Shuck image

>1. Have you read The Ego and its Own by Max Stirner?
Yes.

>2. If so, did he convince you to agree with his philosophy?
Nope.

>3. If not, what arguments do you hold against him?
He literally refuses to be reasonable because reason is a spook. Also he's a laughable historian.
Most of the points he make are just basic scepticism in a new form, and those problem have been dealt with for thousands of years. Nothing new.

lmao you either lied about reading stirner or didn't understand his message

>>9089698
>1. Have you read The Ego and its Own by Max Stirner?

Yes

>2. If so, did he convince you to agree with his philosophy?

To the extent that I understand it

>Stirners philosophy is the hardest one to refute of anything that I've seen until now.

Any refutation of nominalism would do it that said though its hard to refute Stirner because he doesnt really make much of an argument as much as he points out hypocrisy in existing thinkers

>frog faggots took it on that wild ride that was the 20th century
In philosophy, what are we after more than learning a lesson right?

Just because people say things, and the people that have the power to get people all over the world to hear those things these some people say, does not make any of the parties involved 'correct, knowledgeable, meaningful, valuable, or honest'. Repeat it with me now. 3x

what does frog faggots even mean?

And what if all clocks on Earth are coordinated with one another?

And then they ran for some time, months, years. And they appeared to be relatively still coordinated?

Would this not s t r o n g l y imply that something about a single clocks mechanics, stayed consistent, and that another, and another clocks mechanics also stayed consistent (as the clock continued to work), and furthermore, they all stayed consistent with each other?

"The world's roundest object helps solve the longest running problem in measurement -- how to define the kilogram."

It is not that I say we shouldn't believe such things are consistent. Only that we cannot say with certainty that they are.

How are you to be sure that the measuring tool you use for the clocks is not faulty and renders the same results on an anomaly? How are you to be sure that the clocks did not degrade into the same sequence but were initially incorrect?

If I am to say that I know all the clocks are correct because they all run in sequence. How do I know that without measuring them all and can I place such blinded faith in the measuring tool I used?

What matters is what we publicly come to agree is the second and whether we can accept each other's process of justification at any given moment.


We mustn't try to claim we can speak about the 'facts', rather, that we may only be able to speak of the facts themselves.

We cannot get at them. They are so to speak, beyond.
