Would he have been the new Spinoza if

1. He was not born a frenchman (le deconstructionism and le anthropology)
2. He never met the Guitar Man (le psychobabbbble)

??

Thoughts?

How much university level training do you need to be fully /lit/, if any? I took multiple literature classes when I was in high school, but now at uni I'm not sure if I can fit any in my schedule.

I've read the basic /lit/ starter kit books and really enjoyed them, but I don't know how I should be approaching all of this. Do you analyze books as you read them consciously, or just read them? Do you look up much outside analysis of it (more than just the forward) when you read a book?

I just want to generally get the most out of these books as I can and I'm not sure exactly how to do that. How do you, /lit/? Does it depend on the book?

Was Plato, dare I say it, a proto-Nazi?

Well, you know what they say, Plato is right about everything. So it's only natural he were a nazi.

When and where was the best time to be alive?

No "le wrong generation" bullshit here please, state thoughtful reasons, not trivial stuff like music and fashion.

Just after the American industrial revolution -- life was comfortable but technology had not destroyed nature and society. Literally everyone I know now argued about the new iPhone not having a headphone jack like it's the highlight of the year. That caused me to dissociate from reality.

Today. This is the age of biopolitics. Life and reproduction are glorified like never before. Giving new meaning to what Aristotle once called the Bios Politikos. Modern man takes a morbid and demented pleasure in his "species-being", like the tame and domesticated animal he has turned out to be. No longer animal rationale, more like animal laborans and animal socialis.
>>
Music is closer to literature than fashion. It's just that, unlike literature, the medium gets more recognition for the worst stuff to come out of it. At its best the two mediums are matched.

this and also read 'How the World Works'. It's three of his shorter books in one, and it's also really pretentiously titled so dumb poly-sci broads will feel smart for fucking you. Also skim one book by Kropotkin as a backup for the more intelligent but still dumb as fuck ones

What was his end-game, /lit/?

Having read him, I can now safely say that most people who claim to have done so are either lying or ignoring most of what he said. He seems about as far away from 'meme' philosopher as you can get.

He didn't have one. The game never ends.

Song of Solomon is her masterpiece. Beloved is a meme

Is /lit/ aware of any good, academic, anti-feminists? I've read a couple of pieces by Warren Farrell, and he's not bad, but his arguments also aren't particularly good.

Also Christina Hoff Sommers isn't bad, but she's still a feminist and still believes in things like patriarchy theory, so she's not what I'm presently looking for.

Just read Milo Yannopolous articles on Breitbart.

Actual books: Thomas Sowell absolutely destroys feminist myths like the 'wage gap', in pretty much all of his work (try Economic Facts and Fallacies, and skip the chapter about income).
>>
Alasdair MacIntyre provides a great analysis of modern moral sentiment and his work is imo instrumental in understanding of contemporary moral views. He does not speak of feminism directly, but his criticism of where it comes from is on point.

It's pretty good, though I think Vonnegut has a tendency to get written off as a gateway author or as a high school tier sort of thing. It might be nostalgia but I like almost everything he's written.
