As usual, the Slavs have something wise to say, but you're too pretentious to listen and accept it.

I wonder sometimes if there's a silent majority of people like us in the humanities who are sick and tired of the way our field of study has been spat on and degraded by literally everyone.

If there isn't then humanities departments won't exist in five years. Society won't be able to handle the amount of emotionally stunted children that they're churning out.

I swear studying English is like being surrounded by single mothers, who aren't content with you just not criticizing their legions of gay brown trans children, but expect you to fawn over their every mediocre achievements. "Wow, little Leila managed to write a Muslim Jane Eyre? That's the most incredible thing I ever heard! How on EARTH did she come up with that? You must be so so proud of her!" and so on and so on.

On Beauty and On Ugliness by Umberto Eco.

Ancient Greek aesthetics:

Plato: 1) Hippias Major, 2) Ion, 3) Politeia (books 2, 3 and 10)

Aristotle: Poetics


Modern aesthetics:

1) A.G. Baumgarten - Meditationes (this is a must read, Baumgarten is the father of aesthetics)

2) Kant: Critique of Judgement (the four moments are essential)

3) Hegel (can't recommend anything in English - he didn't dedicate a single work to aesthetics only)

Everyone recommends this book here. But I'm through reading recommendations from /lit/, I agree OP the majority of the recommendations here is just degenerate, liberal, shit literature that feels as if it was written directly from the Frankfurt school.

I have contemplated reading it due to people saying it's a "muh feels" book. But what makes this that kind of book in your opinion?

the feel weren't all that with me when I read it. Still recommend. It's short and easy too

idk, the part where he makes his house into a giant bong and clears it in one toke was pretty cash

I haven't seen the movie since it came out and I was pretty young but I remember certain stuff being cut. It's not hard to stretch out something like that for childrens books though.

>>8982775
you may as well read them, look at how short they are.

>>8982775
read all of them– they're short and funny. the movie is sort of bad and doesn't really cover anything. lemony snicket is awesome

>>8982738
Did they have their do yesterday?

So is he going to have a second sit down or are they just breaking the discussion into two parts for that sweet sweet meundies $

>>8982738
Peterson assume being as the fundamental element of existence while sam harris is a materialist positivist. Their discussion blocked at a point where these axioms weren't compatible to further discussion
