Even better, call it /com/ for Comics & Books

/pol/'s codename is already /boo/ because it's about spooks

There is indeed the inexpressible. This shows itself; it is the mystical.

The right method of philosophy would be this: To say nothing except what can be said, i.e. the propositions of natural science, i.e. something that has nothing to do with philosophy: and then always, when someone else wished to say something metaphysical, to demonstrate to him that he had given no meaning to certain signs in his propositions. This method would be unsatisfying to the other -- he would not have the feeling that we were teaching him philosophy -- but it would be the only strictly correct method.

My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.)
He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly.

'Suicide Note' by Mitchell Heisman.

Halfway through you'll be so sick of the idea in general that you'll go outside and get on with your life out of sheer aggravation.

>>8683935
already read it. It was actually pretty interesting. Maybe not particularly edifying but I reminded me of Industrial society and ts Future. its always ineresting when text goes along with action.

yes, u just have to philosophize

All the good philosophies have been taken.
>Is it still possible to become a "philosopher"
yeah.
>and to go down into the philosophical canon
nah.

>>8683871

No. All the big work is being done in the applied sciences and all the ground that you might want to cover with continental or analytical philosophy has been done by the Indians far earlier and far better than you will ever do.

Sad bump

Specialist tax barrister here. I read The Pale King exclusively, repeatedly, and in perpetuity.

My father is a lawyer and he reads anything by/about Churchill and lots of history, mostly ancient Greek/Roman and European. The only fiction he reads is like Dumas and Defoe etc. True patrician.

I have a mobi file of the penguin classics version.
If you are still here desu, please tell me. Can't be bothered to figure out how to upload this for naught.

>>8684575

I also would appreciate that>>8684575

Do your own homework, dumb fuck. This board is 18+. Go to bed.

One moment as I go and fuck myself

maturation.

>>8683526
Yeah its basically like your resume, every great writer has to do it

>>8683538

Are you saying I should definitely do it?

>>8683542

Damn...

continued: I don't believe scientists are inherently smarter than social scientists/humanities

I'm asking if top tier scientists are required to think deeper than ss/h people

Probably

I think something like Ulysses is a product of not just pure thought but also creativity and other elements

while something like General Relativity is something that requires a sort of pure thought, whatever that means

but i understand your premise

Start with the goddamn Greeks, how many times we'll have to repeat it

Actually I'm listening to Star Wars:Bloodline
and drinking imperial pumpkin beer
Tarkin was a decent book, wasn't too into the flashback segments, but I did enjoy the character building and the relationship between Tarkin and Vader.
The new canon is so...by the books.

funny you mention 'listening' I'm actually listening to Tarkin as well through Audible, but I have the physical book in the pic, just to add to my star wars library collection. But most books I do audible.

How is Bloodline? Honestly it wasn't on my list, but I may give it a go later after Star Wars Catacylst, and The Expanse: Babylons Ashes

I'm 6 chapters in, but it gets surprisingly interesting if you're a Leia fan and have no qualms with female narration.
It helps to explain why and how the first order formed even if it feels rather forced.
Overall I find the Empire Era Disney canon material to be more interesting, but I am curious to see if the period between VI and VII will get something as good as the Thrawn trilogy.

Who is that canonized figure?

The only good thing that came out of Bob Dylans existence was the end of Inside Llewyn Davis

I love it so much, because it shows the Swedish Academy finally took the public into consideration.

A poem is only complete when someone reads it, which means that people like Geoffrey Hill never really wrote poems, because no one actually bothered to read the obnoxious pseudointellectual bullshit they produced.

The heresies of modernism tried to remove poetry from the public, and Dylan, by the means of music, gave it back to them. Thank God for that!

I only think it should have gone to Cohen, though.
