This phenonemon has been called 'hauntology', wanting to be part of something that never existed. Have a look at Mark Fisher's essays, even though he writes too much about British electronic music for my taste.

Possibly also have a look at The Shipwrecked Mind, which looks at your 'condition' as one of the main raison d'etre of modern reactionaries.

Why are millenials who are barely out of college obsessed with "nostalgia"?

>>8824482
Well, it's not like 'finding love' and 'friendship' isn't a universal term that most if not all human beings share...

I read all of Plato's work and decided to move on to Aristotle with NE. Far too dry and condescending for my taste. And most of his works are outdated natural science and political crap

Story of Art by Gombrich
Pensar la ciencia by Koyré (I know he is a philosopher, but this book is History of Science). Not translated to english afaik.

That's it, third place would be for an art/photography book I guess.

The reason is that people by nature are myth-makers and they turn everything they can perceive into a myth. Thus all things posses mythical capabilities, like a room for a example. You might not know anything about the new room you step it, but immediately you know that it's a nice (or awful) room, you create a story of this room, you fill it with mythical elements. Same with all the things, including facts. No matter how stand alone and grounded facts you can have, they all will be coiled by myth - and there's nothing wrong with that. You say that fiction is made up and doesn't apply to real world, yet Real World is a myth that's being made by all people and it doesn't need application because Real World is Fiction.

This board is dead.

I started little while ago, haven't made shit though. And I've only got about a handful of actual downloads even though they're free now

Full time self publisher here. Key is too have a series or two and to have books under pseudonyms in fringe (gay romance, sports fiction, 10-12 yr old material and horror short stories.)

It was written by ancient people. It means anything you want it to.
The "one true church" is only yours, in your head, (should you choose to found it) are you asking what other denominations think?

According to Philo of Alexandria, a Hellenized Jewish Platonist, the garden of Eden was something akin to Plato's intelligible world or world of ideas, and the various trees thereof and man himself were akin to ideas in the mind of God. Plato himself describes the intelligible world as a "meadow" in the Phaedrus, where the souls of gods and men were given nectar and ambrosia and live forever. Clement of Alexandria, in the Exhortation to the Heathens, uses similar language as Plato, but instead of nectar and ambrosia he says mana of heaven.

There is moreover in the Platonic Tradition the concept (taken from the Stoics) of logoi spermatikoi or seminal reason or "reason seeds" that are sowed as it were in the soil of the material world by nature in order to produce natural fruits. The material world doesn't directly interact with the ideas, but with the logoi that are images of the ideas. The Greek philosopher and theologian Maximus the Confessor develops this concept from a Christian perspective. Every natural phenomenon is due to the seminal logos inherent in it and the Divine Logos in Jesus Christ is the source of all these particular logoi.

If you think your clothes will improve your writing style you might as get your birthday suit and take a big marker pen to draw "doomed" onto your head.

Cheesy and clichéd, but if you can get it hammy in just the right way then maybe it'll be the next Me Before You of romance lit for normiebitches.

>>8823967
OP here.

>Cheesy and clichéd
That's my feeling too. I think I just like a challenge.

You get my point completely.

If you wanted to learn mathematics would you start with a book by Euler? Or any other dead and gone mathematician?

A similar idea can apply to Economics. Studying the history of economic thought is a very different thing of course.

Just know that the invisible hand was only mentioned once in the book so you can avoid having to bear the condescending glares of some pseudo economist dumb enough to think they can learn anything by read the entirety of the Wealth of Nations. You won't take anything else out of the book that you won't get from a modern textbook (infact that modern textbook will likely have less arguments that you will deem as untrue and pose more interesting questions).

If you're a blogger or something of the sort though, it's a must, it sounds savy af to name-drop the theories of old economists in a "Ah, let us draw from this ancient wisdom" kind of way (Smith isn't ancient but you know what I mean). Casuals lap that shit right up.

>>8823920
No. It's much too convoluted to make anything of it. Just read a textbook; or, if you're really interested, read an analysis of The Wealth of Nations.

>>8824051
Tl;dr, etc.

>>8823920
I just tried Capital by Picketty

Luckily it is in the format of a modern academic paper and you can get the entire gist of the book in the introduction, along with supported notes. Wealth of Nations is a slog and best read in a sourcebook or analysis.
