The brown note

It's not real

>>8186324
No lol I learned about "the brown note" from southpark. This is a horror book.

People who mix up the words "peak" and "pique" are subhuman

Jesus Christ this guy should have picked a more unique pseudonym, Stirner had him beat in that aspect.
Can someone link me where to buy or download Das Verstandestum und das Individuum? Can't find it but sounds interesting enough,

>>8186325
That's because it wasn't a pseudonym.
Also was so obscure doesn't have a wiki page, find a reference to him on the young hegelians wiki page.

You can buy a part of the English translation called "The Individual" online, where he utterly BTFO'd Stirner though agreed on like 80% of what he said...point is you don't need to set your cause on nothing.

>>8186371
Maybe that came across wrong, I'm saying he should have picked one tbqh.
>a part
That's only like the second half though, right?

In what context?

>>8186232
As a philosopher in his own right, not as an influence on other philosophers like Nietzsche or Wittgenstein.

>>8186231
As funny as on women is, he is underrated

>>8186207
well, the trial of socrates is kinda shit (sorry plato), symposium is actually pretty good, meno and phaedro are godly. the republic is an achievement of humankind however. laws is long and pretty abridgeable tbqhf. ps i read all of them years ago but cant remember all of them.

>>8186865
Did you mean phaedrus or phaedo? Cause the phaedrus is sublime.

For adapting a scene from Plato, I would go with the part in Theaetetus where Socrates explains his "midwife of the soul" concept. I've always loved that part of the dialogue and the back-and-forth that goes on there.

I'm biased towards Theaetetus, as I spent a lot of time working with it, but Phaedrus is also good, as anons said above. However, I can't recall a specific passage that might be good.

>>8186143
>Memex Stirner got BTFO
Precisely for that reason.

>>8186167
Why is it so hard to admit though? Why are they taking so seriously a meme philosopher?

When will they learn?

I don't get the comic.
Women can only love their offspring?
His mom didn't like him and he drugged her mom to love him? (a so sad it's funny kind of thing)
He's really short (and women hate that) and his love potion was really just a potion that spurred a mother-son relationship-fetish in her. And she fought it for a long time but eventually she gave in and he cried tears of joy because he's finally accepted for what he is. ?

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea

dont be a little faggot and blame your parents for your own failures. its all been your fault since you were about 12

>>8185846
Start with the greeks

Yeah, it's only worth writing about topics besides consciousness.
Joyce and Proust basically nailed it

Post some examples. Otherwise I'm just going to assume you're a bandwagon-jumper.

Who?

Can you choose which edition have you read, like Goodreads? I might migrate.

This looks like a bearbones goodreads tracker without year challenges or the ability to show off to people on facebook. Explain why it is good.

>>8185770
WHAT’S GOOD?

>Catalog your books from Amazon, the Library of Congress and 1051 other libraries.
>Catalog your movies and music too.
>Find new books to read.
>Talk about what you love with other committed bibliophiles.
>Track and lend your books.
>Snag a book from over 2000 early-release books every month.
>Enter 200 items for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life).
>Enter 200 items for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life).

Goodreads might be loaded for plebs, but this is for rubes. Who has only read 200 books? If I could just upload isbn via csv i might migrate, but I have close to a thousand books to upload.

Stop bumping your dumbass thread and look up the contents of both works

>>8186203
right because I'm really going to waste my finite amount of precious time in the one life that I get so I can learn portugese just so I can read fernando pessoa, when I could get enjoyment out of his works with a translation. Yeah nice fucking logic, expand life by a couple millennia and maybe I'll consider it.

It's a gay minstrel show with tepid prose. I fucking hate the state of literature in 2016. You can write absolute garbage but as long as you're a female or minority writer writing about homosexuals/minorities, you will have all the world's accolades heaped upon you. Just look at that hack Junot Diaz. Writes absolute shit but he's a brown man writing about "muh immigrant experience" so he gets a Pulitzer and MacArthur Fellowship.

Statistically inaccurate.

>>8185669

omg so true

>>8185640
He has one idea that could easily be summarized in one small paragraph that he repeats over and over.

>>8185640
What a horrifyingly awful cover, he does hold merit as all libertine texts do, it's about 100 pages long so read it and don't be a wuss.
Then read the quintessence of debauchery.

He holds merit but it's also just filth.

It's mostly just interesting as an exploration of the total extreme of sexual consent and also to see the beginning of a certain kind of pornographically informed self censorship

Hogg is similar in that last theme

>>8185609
Burroughs.

>>8185625
Opened the thread just to say this.

Anything in particular from him?

It's not spoiling anything, the tv producers can go every fucking direction they want it to go and you know damn well GRRM will just bend down and take it anyway.

>>8185487
The adaptation doesn't do justice to the author. GRRM has no children and devoted his life to ASOIAF. D&D wasted it all.

if you can't separate the two mediums you're autistic
