i know the veridct is out, but what's your guess? i'm watching abecedaire, and in letter "j", deleuze talks about nietzsche's "creation of the concept" of the jewish "priest" who declares that the spiritual is all that is of value.
here's a passage from the new stirner translation:
>anyone who lives for a great idea, a good cause, a doctrine, a system, a lofty calling, may not let any worldly desires, any self-seeming interests, arise in himself. here we have the concept of priestliness, or as it can also be called in its pedagogic activity, schoolmasterliness; because ideals act as schoolmasters over us. the clergyman is quite specifically called to live the idea and to work for the idea, the truly good cause..."
the more i read about the two, the harder it is to believe the people who think their thought is just superficially related. apparently there are documented instances of philosopher's inspired by stirner, but who never mentioned him in print (adorno, husserl, etc.) i don't think it's impossible that they just came to the same ideas, but i feel more and more like nietzsche must have read stirner or else been taught his ideas. would love to read a book on the subject.
btw - if it were true, i don't think that would cheapen nietzsche's "project" - his is a lot bigger than stirner's, and has many components that, even if he was following stirner, go a lot further (in certain respects.)

note on the translation - i think in general it's a little clearer but less fun, and the original wasn't unclear. wolfi could have at least left spook in with a note in the introduction that it means something like phantasm. and also, "bats in the belfry" is a an incredibly gay saying
>>
>>9901063
Almost every german philosopher read or heard about him, they just tried not to mention him because nobody wanted to be related to Stirner.
>>
I hope I am remembering this correctly, Safranski mentions that Nietzsche must have read him

Are these books well-written/worth reading? I liked the movie quite a bit, and I'd like some books that capture that cold war paranoia.
Which one(s) should I start with?

I believe that he wrote The Spy who came from the Cold before TTSS, so tru that out, and if you like ot, read that.

TTSS is probably the greatest spy novel of all time, so yes. I've never heard a bad thing about Le Carré as far spy novels are concerned.

Like "Yoohoo" or "humdrum."
Words that are two or more syllables long where every syllable rhymes.
I can't find a word database that is able to detect this.

Face it lads, this is the closest we have in our modern day to the cafe societies of the past. This is where intellects gather to discuss and nitpick one another's thoughts and ideas. Don't feel bad for coming on /lit/. Of course, use it in moderation, but it's truly one of the most sacred corners of the internet. Rejoice, lads!

I've learned more in high school lit, and I'm American. The actual sacred corners of the internet are invite-only and none of us matter enough to be invited. Think slack channels for journalists, private critique groups, publishing industry forums. /lit/ pales in comparison, and is only worth coming to if you've got a superiority complex to feed.
Bugs.. was this board's peak and it'll only be downhill from there.

I was raised on the Dewey Decimal Classification, but got used to the Library of Congress at University. Something about the DDC that feels juvenile, while I've heard good critiques of LCC, such as overlapping categories (such as B and P) and the nonsense of starting the system with A (starting with Collections).
Anyway, what library classification do you think is best?

For me, it's the opposite. Film is much better at atmosphere and emotion, which is what most stories focus on.

I have been learning French on and off for about a year now and i'm getting quite good at reading it, but I have a very poor understanding of the actual groundwork of French grammar and conjugation since I have exclusively used Duolingo (which I have completed).
Also general language learning thread I guess.

No, not enough vocabulary. It's a start. Follow up with an actual grammar book, anki and reading as much ss you can and you can be reading with medium dictionary use in a year. Faster if you get actual speaking practice and such

I tried to read this book, forgot what its called I know the author is the same as from 1984. Anyways
Read it, didn't understand jack shit of what they were saying. realised it was filmed watched the movie then realised that I still didnt understand what they were saying and that this is part of the book. Really enjoyed though and owyea A clockwork orange.
Though I don't really get the title. Never bothered reading the book again.
Did really like the idea of this book/movie and certainly some elements will be seen back in our possibly near future. Owyea.. George Orwell.
