lmao. what is this monstrosity. nab some handles and turn that thing into a wheelbarrow.
Why use property you already have? Would taking one's property further establish that the property wasn't yours in the first place, separating the individual from the property he doesn't have? Further, wouldn't taking action, even as an egoistic entity, act as immolation, sacrificing your property to be split into the individual and property to be taken, in order to have a reason to use it as such?

Property is an approach to something ie seeing it not as something above yourself but something to be dealt with based on your own interests.
Hence it doesnt mean property in the sense of the contents of your wallet which is how people can make things like the state their property without becoming a Tzar.

Best concise account of Stirner's concept of property I've read on here in 6 months, good work actually reading Stirner senpai
why do i see epistemology barely getting any attention on this board? would it not make sense to make a serious study of it BEFORE reading ANYTHING WHATSOEVER (whether scientific, philosophical, literary) with the purpose of gaining knowledge? furthermore, given the common obsession with the spookbuster among litizens + the slighty autistic (since: analytic) enterprise of the study of epistemology you'd expect to see a serious interest in epistemological matters. are most of yall dilettantes who dont really care about knowing after all?

i primarily wondered why the only sane way to start ANY intellectual enterprise isnt acknowledged. if theres a branch of phil that should be taught from the youngest ages, it's this. hit me up with a epistemological topic and we'll turn this into a central

Epistemology is taboo in polite society these days. How can one properly fathom its depths, when a rational posture to assume for the initiation of its evaluation, solipsism (OP pic related), has become a byword for aberrational behavior, and an insult to be lobbed preemptively at perceived foes, in spheres both private and public?
Any lusophone anons there? I intend on reading the Divine Comedy next year, but I'm not sure on whether I should read it in English or Portuguese. Should I go for closer vocabulary with the latter, or are the English translations better?
And besides the Bible, medieval catholic philosophy and Greek/Roman classics, is there any other required reading?
Disco Stu's got LUso for TWOso
read this one OP
the english ones are superior. though the language is further, the canon of scholarship and built-up knowledge makes modern english translations far better than anything you can find besides the original italian. english translations are more accurate and true to dante

Yeah, but the way Hemingway painted Brett, she was actually attractive unlike Lena Dunham.

Anybody else here writing their manifesto?
I'm writing both a manifesto and an accompanying semi-literary autobiography. I imagine the entire project will amount to at least 1,500 pages.
nice shitpost mate
>>8832460
Not a shitpost.
>>8832459
I'm writing an all-encompassing manifesto that touches on art, religion, philosophy, science, history, politics and autobiography. It's up to 1200 pages and I'm still not finished saying what I have to say. I don't want to talk about my ideas here because they're genuinely revolutionary and I want to save it for its publication, which when it happens is going to be a landmark event. Unfortunately publishers so far don't seem to be thrilled about my work. Several of them, if they weren't outright hostile, insisted that I seek professional help. But I'm more sane than any of them. I'm just ahead of the times. My friends have abandoned me and my mother treats me differently now that she's discovered my work. Maybe someday in the future, whether I'm still alive, my work will find a large understanding audience.
What are some books to learn about music theory or just learning about music in general? I want to know what im actually talking about when talking about musicl
>>8832395
schoenberg - fundamentals of musical composition
russo - composing (a new approach)
can attest to these personally!
>>8832395
Just listen to pet sounds on repeat for 1000 hours and music theory will osmose into you. There's no hard and fast book to learn hard and fast music theory.
I hate my mother for giving birth to me.
It's funny to me how stupid pessimism is. I look at people praising Schopenhauer, and I'm just thinking, how is this supposed to help people? I don't mean in that he says religion isn't good, I mean in the fact that he likes to tell people that trying to be happy is futile and stuff. I'm pretty sure if you just focus on negative things, then by self fulfilling prophecy you're just going to see negative things. Do you see the conundrum here? If you think of everything as negative, you'll inevitably see everything as negative, and it's just a feedback loop of negativity that feeds back into itself. I mean, your brain is capable of things like happiness, and there doesn't have to be some arbitrary justification for it from outside your head.
Fuck off normie
>>8832374
If you expect nothing from anyone then you're myopic and leave out the fact that if you weigh the possibility of a positive outcome against the negative, with a health skepticism you can accept disappointment and still be pleasantly surprised when things work out. God, I sure sound smart today, don't I?

i agree desu. i used to read schopie & friends and ended up a confused, actionless and scared mess.
stuff like that might be healthy on lower doses but going full autist on it just doesn't lead to anything worthy.
Which is the best edition of the Bible?

For the book of psalms I use the RSV.
For everything else I use the OSB.

What the hell? Don Quixote is barely in his own book. It's mostly other people telling stories about cucking. Why is this considered to be the all-time best novel?
>>8832167
It is pretty great and it touches lots of deeper issues that you just realize about them after re-reading the book. Cervantes prose is great and the story is pretty great and original.
>>8832167
Because it has all the scenarios in a story(man vs himself, man vs the world, etc)
it's not "the best", idiot; it's the first modern one
fuck you
