>don't like reading philosophy anymore because I'm realizing none of my genius theories and ideas are original
>if I keep reading I can't take credit for these things I came up with on my own anymore
wat do?

Face your own insignificance. What you think may not be original but chances are the geniuses we remember developed/explained them better so reading them will give you a better understanding of yourself.
>>
you apply them to real-life examples. that's essentially all that academics do
>>
>>8202116

the only reason why you "came up" with so many "genius theories" all by yourself it's because you are submerged into them with the whole modern culture which is based upon them, reading philosophy books you just find it out

Who was the real successor to Kant, Schopenhauer or Hegel? What is the reasoning behind your choice?

Schoppy was the true successor, but Hegel set off on his own more and was a self made giant.

hey guys, i'm a big fan of political satire novels, and want to write one of my own. but i'm worried that, if something as good as the Yurope novels can't get published in print, how the hell can I?

What level of irony is this written at
I don't know if it's a serious attempt at satire or a parody of similar satire or an ironic acceptance of the original satire or some other meta shit
And the op is just as confusing
>>
Don't use real names and your pandering shit will have a fractionally less minuscule chance of being published than this.

It's pathetic pol tier trash. It relies on the belief of stormfront that Hillary will force the master race into decline.

You sound like a troll, if not, a satire book just needs to be funny and understand what it is mocking.

Worst Hesse novel I've read. Wondering if I should bother picking up Glass Bead Game after this special snowflake nonsense

if this is the worst novel you've read of an absolutely fucking no-talent pretentious fuckwad then, no, you shouldn't. i've read glass bead game last year and I hated it so much that I didn't read any book for months, which never happened since i was 7 years old, just because this shit made me hate reading

Glass Bead Game is a very boring book with great ideas in it.

I don't like him because he's never made me feel anything and that makes me feel bad. The only time I've ever felt ane motion in one hif sbooks is when he mentions the "little kid blues" in Inherent Vice.

is it considered low-brow for an author to even approach semtinality, feeling, empathy, etc? How could his novels be so good but missing the 1 thing (emotion) that is like the most important thing of all? Am I too dumb to get Pynchon? Thanks

Yes.

If you think someone has to make you feel bad to be a good author you are in fact stupid

I did not ready gravity's rainbow but I read mason and dixon and that too while being really funny didn't make me love any of the characters/miss them when theyw ere hone. Can you say your most emotional passage or part from a Pynhcon book?

Probably one of the most brilliant things I've read. Started crying once he started to realize he was losing his intelligence and starts begging to stay smart. Cried continuously after every chapter after that

Did this book miss the point of the Arab missing a name? I had thought the lack of a name made for the murder to seem more trivial to meursault.

as opposed to?

As opposed to giving the murdered Arab a name.
>>
>>8201723
The lack of name was probably to empahsize the apathy he felt, it literally did not matter what his name was, he was an Arab.

Recommend the person above you a book based on what they recommended the person above them.
