>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?
>>8201991
Fichte
Schoppy was the true successor, but Hegel set off on his own more and was a self made giant.

philosophy hipster are the worst
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?
>>8201969
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.
y they do this?
>>8201968
Because most people are pseuds who think existentialism=nihilism
>>8201968
because they resent men?
because they're a website designed to make fun of things
catch some feels op?
It wasn't that he was crushed by the educational system.
It was that the little faggot couldn't handle his liquor.
Worst Hesse novel I've read. Wondering if I should bother picking up Glass Bead Game after this special snowflake nonsense
>>8201874
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
>>8201874
Govinda should have given Siddhartha a blowjob.
Glass Bead Game is a very boring book with great ideas in it.
Has there ever been a greater passage written in English than the final sequence of The Dead by James Joyce?
>>8201820
I honestly don't think so.
>>8201820
The entirety of Finnegans Wake.
Yeah the end of Ulysses
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
>>8201827
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?
ITT: Books that made you cry like a bitch.
>>8201738
Absolute tear-jerker.
Probably one of the most brilliant things I've read. Started crying oncehe started to realize he was losing his intelligence and starts begging to stay smart. Cried continuously after every chapter after that
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest made me cry multiple times. Had to put the book down and breath for a moment at certain parts (I'm a bitch)I want to hug Billy
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.
> I had thought the lack of a name made for the murder to seem more trivial to meursault.
as opposed to?
>>8201745
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.
