Hm. The title anagrams Trustee. Never noticed that before.
OP: I fear the book's in a class by itself.

It's very similar to Blood Meridian in terms of style and it's strong character-driven nature. More so than any other McCarthy book.

Atheists, how do you deal with the reality that Christian thinkers are the very apex of all literature? Also of philosophy, mathematics, and any endeavor worthy of Man

I can appreciate the idea of God and the devotion and emotion such a concept inspires in people.

I imagine most of them didn't truly believe, considering the consequences of openly doing so.

If you want to be a scholar on Plato, probably. If you're anyone else, just follow the St. John's reading order or something.
>>
>>9942970
Euthyphro>Apology>Crito>Phaedo, then whatever you want. It's very important you read these for first as the rest of his dialogues are referenced back to these 4 in some regard.
>>
this is a rough order from the /lit/ philosophy project, how is it?
>apology
>euthyphro
>crito
>symposium
>phaedo
>meno
>republic
>laws
>parmenides
>timaeus
extras
>theaetetus, sophist, statesman (relating to parmenides)
>gorgias (relating to republic)
>phaedrus (relating to symposium)
>cratylus (relating to euthyphro)

How could he be so misogynist? He's basically hitler.

He reminds me of a lot of us here. He looks at reactionary thought from the outside, with a sort of longing to join it, but knowing that he can not deceive himself into believing it. He knows he himself is too amoral to ever join the right wing, but too principled to pretend to be moral and join the right.

1.learn french
2. read his poetry
3. understand that his novels are shit compared to his poetry

Could you guys recommend any books on U.S politics and economics that aren't biased and just present the information? Does such a thing exist?

Alright folks, having read through Middlemarch, and having had a wonderful time with it, is Nicholas Bullstrode, in your opinion, a good person, as the novel concludes?
I am of the opinion that, by his sincere repentance, and his suffering, he is absolved of the sin of lying to his former wife for the sake of winning her inheritance, or at least can be said to have now justified his former actions by his piety and decency in later life.
Also, Who's more Chad, Lydgate or Fred? Who's the least Chad, Casaubon or Camden Farebrother? (Though I certainly wouldn't hold it against the second best, if not the best, man in Middlemarch)

when I smoke I find really funny to write a sketchy poem or story and translate it in multiple languages, then back in the original language.
Every time something amazing comes out.
>pic related some shitty creepy pasta I wrote in italian and translated multiple times. somehow it is more sinister lol
