I'm reading that.
Good shit.

I don't care

Why should I listen to music when all the sounds I could ever want are easily available on the internet?

>>8375202
Sadly the meme Slovenian is popular and a possible actual philosopher is not.

>>8375209
no real slovenian

I seriously doubt Slovenia has produced more than one person I should remotelycare about

Read Hunger by Knut Hamsun.

Just do some strong Salvia with Xenakis playing

You'll probably have a really nightmarish trip but it'll be intense at least

Anything has the potential to be literary.

>>8375155
Yes. No, but pretty much yes.

>implying books aren't fooking magical
Nigga you are literally sharing thoughts, ideas, and emotions of men who lived hundreds, maybe thousands of years ago. Perceiving the world through books is the most authentic way of understanding the reality

literally cannot believe some people unironically believe this

You should hang yourself

Absolutely, Hume is a brilliant writer and you will struggle with Kant if you didn't read him. But even if not too read Kant you should still read Hume, he profoundly affected my life

>>8375044
I will eventually, but not now. I'm still young and healthy and beautiful.

>>8375027
No, HE was convinced.

>>8375027

>The meaning of life is whatever you can think of that stops you from killing yourself.

Suicide is for the philosophically infantile.

2 dollars more than what i paid. lol you got fucking scammed

Get an edition with decent notes, read something online about the Ontological Argument and its history, Parmenides (might as well read On Nature, takes five minutes), Descartes and his ideas and, well, get a general idea about where Spinoza placed himself/was placed by history's accident in the philosophical debate.

Read the first two parts slowly, go back and reread the propositions and axioms he refers, make your way through assimilating the system. Parts three, four and five are more easily readable - I also think they're the weakest half of the book, but it doesn't stop it from being incredible. Hope I've been of help.

>>8374568
Listen up. This book is the most profound thing I have ever read. By the end of it you will realize how to obtain intellectual love of God and transcend your casual existence. Pay attention and don't give up.
