Hate it when white people act like they're black.
The Bell Curve. I like to remind you that the death of an innocent, educated white man like myself will stir my people into a rage the likes of which you've never seen, Negro.

You boyz ever been unable to enjoy a writer because of their ideology? This fat octogenarian fuck seems like the only halfway-decent prose-stylist in his genre, but all the Thomist tradcath posturing basically propagandizes his work in a way I haven't felt with other reactionaries.

I would personally never read anything by a liberal, an islamist, or a feminist
Can get tiresome in his case, but he's not personally as dumb about it as you'd think
>>9070991
Examples? I've read BoTNS and Land Across, which was unreadably bad.

That's a tiny brain wojack. But if you keep reading and challenging yourself it will grow :)

If you read a translation, can you really say you've read the book?
What's so difficult about adding the caveat of it being a translation when you talk about, like an academic?
Technically you haven't. Non-autistically you have.
If you're read a text outside of the socio-cultural milieu in which it was written, can you really say you've read the book?
Is pic related worth reading
Short answer: no.
Long answer: yes.
>>9070766
Why don't you read it and tell us. Sometimes you'll find it's more enjoyable to jump into a book without know whether it is a "masterpiece" or not.

He was a liberal, so no.
How did you feel about this adaptation? Did accurately capture the book?
>inb4 "go to /tv/"
Its a show based on literature and I seriously doubt anyone on /tv/ has ever read W&P and could give me the answers Im looking for
>I want to know if this is elitist-approvable without actually reading the book
does that about cover it?
Aww Lily James is in War and Peace. I should watch it after all.

Newfag here, why is Stirner such a meme on /lit/?
Stirner is possibly the only philosopher who isn't mentally retarded.

Is there any good literature (nonfiction or fiction) that provides a good argument either for or against libertarianism?
>inb4 >>>/pol/
I'm not asking for a discussion of libertarianism, I just want to hear some reccs.

I haven't seen 3 yet. i really should get to it
Hi /lit/, I want to read Paradise Lost but I am not sure what I should be familiar with before I start - I mean I have read Genesis, but I don't really know what else to read for preparation. The actual story of the fall takes up like 2 chapters in the Bible so maybe I should just dive right in without thinking too hard about Milton's influences and inspirations but I would rather have some advice here first. Thanks.
please help me
You're good. Just read it. It's pretty self explanatory.
Enjoy it. It is great.

So honestly I'm a philosophy noob, and I just wanted to know the different types of doctrines where the basic thing to know is : life is shit, society is shit, just kys.
Please light me up on the subject (I guess misanthropy and nihilism counts, and if I'm wrong please correct me)
It's not bait, I'm not trying to sound edgy and stuff and please don't go like "google it" I'm trying to have your knowledge and thoughts about it, /lit/

How do I into Hegel
You don't.
Reading Hegel is a lot like anime. Something has to HAPPEN to you while you read it that transcends the merely geometric improvement of your training, and leads to a wholly new revelation of both understanding and power for you. You need to have the moment where you are broken and defeated beyond any hope of a comeback, and then you somehow tap into something deep inside yourself, and discover that you had the power to overcome all along, like JoJo mastering a new Hamon technique or Vegeta being able to beat up Frieza in at least his penultimate form.
Any purely linear reading of Hegel is no reading of Hegel at all. If you haven't been completely transformed by Hegel then you haven't properly apprehended the anime battle that lies underneath.

Read Plato's republic and get some background on the presocratics.
holy fucking shit, I swear to god I can not get around e-books. I know they are "free", they are mobile and has several advantages but I just can't do it. finished a ulysses yesterday, read 150 pages over the weekend (ithaca saturday, penelope sunday [what a fucking delicious end by the way]), planed on reading a goddamned 200 pages book in pc using Kindle and like everytime I've tried to tackle an e-book I just procrastinated all day thinking about the book. If the book isn't there for me to hold I just can't get going..and its not even autismo to buy the book and expose it in my shelf, I actually borrow a lot of books...
