What should I read before reading Heidegger's Being and Time?

All memes aside, the Greeks. Particularly the Pre-Socratics. Also Kant, Hegel, general phenomenology. Seriously, just fucking go through chronologically. Will you end up understanding Heidegger? Probably not, but hey! You've got 2,000 years of thought under your belt.

>>8419323
For the record, I've read a majority of the "required" reading for Being and Time and I stopped pretty early on because it was borderline insufferable - this is from someone who enjoys Phenomenology of Spirit and Foucault.
>>
>>8419332
Phenom. of Spirit gets a bad rap. It's difficult, but manageable. But I found my self absolutely frazzled by Being and Time. Don.t know what to tell you other than slog through it. Secondary literature perhaps? Dreyfus is apparently one of the top authorities on H.

Do you ever read more than one book, even when you haven't finished the initial book? 2016-08-20 22:41:47 Post No.8419310

For example, reading part of a book in the morning, a part of another book in the evening.

Are you autistic by any chance? May bi diễn ha

No I only read one book at a time, and don't start a new one until I finish the current one. Even if I find the current book boring/above my level of understanding.
The only time I break this rule is with school books. If I have to read a book for school, I will read it alongside my book for pleasure, but the school book gets priority.

I've used to read one "big" book at home and a pocket book on the bus, now that I stay home and drive I only read one at time, its way better this way, at least for me

What is your opinion on the existence of the soul? Does an eternal unchanging soul exist as in Christianity or Hinduism, is the Self just a collection of aggregates that creates a false idea of a cohesive being as in Buddhism, or is there something else?

Soul means romance, ie silly.
PS It's OK to be silly.

Where do you think the idea came from in the first place?

From the soul?

I don't think /lit/ is as full as trigger-pulled Marxists as you think it is
If anything I'm offended because I'm conservative like you. You should have been faithful to your conscience.

I used a razor blade to try to carefully scrape it off. Turns out the sticker was so firmly attached I just cut through the paper underneath and made the damage worse. Fortunately it was just a blank end paper and not the actual title page.
>>8419011
Are you saying I shouldn't buy antique books, that I should be happy to leave the stickers in, or that I shouldn't worry about the damage?

I got into UC Berkeley (Cal) but ended up going to a community college because I couldn't afford it. The time there made me want to end my life more than any other period has - being surrounded by idiots 24/7 made me pretty sad for humanity.

I like it. I've had that copy since 2008 and I've read it plenty. It's still in good condition. The paper is not bible-thin, it''s just slightly thinner than usual. The only thing that's annoying is the silver on the page edges. anyone know how to get rid of that?
