a part of me wants to read this book
another part of me is concerned that ill unreasonably become a giant anti-semite if i read it, and that its not... sufficiently scientific and objective.
if the book is "legit" and turns me into an anti-semite (not that it NECESSARILY will), then im fine with it. but if its bullshit, then im concerned that itll be hard for me to verify. im not a big /pol/ right wing neo nazi-type, honestly
has anyone read it? can any speak to its validity?

I was a well-read Marxist with a Master's degree in philosophy, and I decided to read this book just to see how idiotic the far right is.
But today, I'm proud to call myself a white nationalist, who believes that Jews are at the root of all evil in the world. I realized that the liberal education I had been given was merely a mental straight jacket that insulated me from true redpilled knowledge about how the world really works. From there, I wen't to Hitler's Mein Kampf, I went to Schopenhauer's On Women, t to Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and continued until I was finally aware of how we are being duped by the Jews.
It's frightening how they're genociding us, but if we can only get this book into the hands of all of /lit/ that would be wonderful. We need to get the word out there. It's often talked about on /pol/, and if we can spread the book like we did the Jew "meme" pics then maybe we can elect a proper "anti-semite" instead kike Trump next time.
Do your duty to the white race and read it. I promise you that you will never regret it. The truth of it is so exalting through its sheer penetrative insights that it'll leave you gasping for more redpilled books.

but why?
Which do you think is the better sentence?
>In a thick drawl he asked, "Please, no tomatoes.", which in his harsh accent replaced the o's in the offending fruit with a's: tamatas.
or
>In a thick drawl he asked, "Please, naw tamatas," his accent harsh when it spoke of the offending fruit.
Basically, do you think its alright to change language to denote accents in dialogue or should it be mentioned outside of the dialogue itself to avoid confusion?
>>9897668
The first sentence is just horrible. Second one is better, but feels like it should still be rewritten. As for your second question, I personally think if you want to show an accent vividly you have to write phonetically otherwise everyone speaks with a generic male or female voice
>>9897668
>In his thick southern drawl, accented distinctively by a semantic ignorance, he politely demanded, "Please, no tomatoes for me!" upon the offering of such an offensive fruit.
How does Husserl's later "constitutive" faculty differ from Heideggerian "disclosure"? I read some of Husserl's marginalia to the copy of Being & Time that Heidegger gave him as a gift, and he seems to think that Heidegger was just replicating the constitutive faculty of his own phenomenology without crediting him.
I've only read some of Husserl's early stuff where he is clearly a naive Fregean/Platonic realist about entities and states of affairs in the world, like scientific laws and observations of gravity, which put me off big time. But apparently he moved away from that strongly?
>>9897223
>Husserl was a naive Fregean/Platonic realist about entities
Where exactly did you read this?
>the difference between Husserl's constitutive faculty and Heidegger's disclosure
I rarely read philosophy in English so I'm not certain what you mean with these terms, if you're thinking of intentionality then there is virtually no difference (and in principle there cannot be any difference).
>>9897324
>Where exactly did you read this?
One of Dermot Moran's books. I'm reading both his general history of phenomenology and his Husserl: Founder of Phenomenology, so I can't remember which. But one of the questions that bothered me while reading, because I've never known the answer myself and he never answered it directly for several chapters, is whether Brentano, Frege, Russell, and others were as naive as they seem about logical realism. But Moran says pretty clearly, Logical Investigations era Husserl believed that metaphysical realities like the law of gravity were out there waiting to be grasped, whether any human has ever grasped them or not.
I don't mind that kind of realism in principle, like I'm not denying that gravity really exists in some sense of existence. But if he means that all human minds would grasp the truth of gravity in the same way, I start to get worried, because that implies not just that conceptual resources are identical across people and cultures, but that there is only one true form of conceptual adequacy to the real world. I don't mind that kind of naive epistemology in Einstein or even Mach, but in phenomenology it's pretty weird.
However, turns out he repudiated it later, according to Moran.
>if you're thinking of intentionality then there is virtually no difference
No I mean the disclosure of new ontological truth, as opposed to new ontical truth. The disclosure of new conditions of possibility (Bedingungen der Möglichkeit) altogether.
>>9897375
It is important to keep in mind that Husserl had kept changing his views as his philosophy developed. Generally speaking (if I remember correctly), his small book called "The idea of phenomenology" (I'm not sure if this translation is correct) is considered the turning point from early to late Husserl.
>but if he means that all human minds would grasp the truth of gravity in the same way, I start to get worried because that implies... that there is only one true form of conceptual adequacy to the world
But that is exactly what he means. The best example being how he attempts to prove the existence of other people after performing the Cartesian reduction (and consequently abandoning all knowledge). The gist of his argument is that I (in the 1st person) necessarily assume the existence of others on the basis of an analogy, i.e that there have to exist other conscious beings. In addition, after deriving others so to speak Husserl concludes that we all share the same world - the world that is available to me from the 1st person perspective.
>i mean the disclosure of new ontological truth
Husserl didn't write anything regarding ontology (as far as I know) - his phenomenology is entirely epistemological. I've read a clever thought in an introduction to S&Z that Heidegger's contribution to the Husserl's project is that he filled a void in Husserl's phenomenology by coming up with a phenomenological ontology, whereas Husserl was concerned exclusively with epistemology.
Is this /lit/? By the way I'm legitimately asking. What do you fags think about it?

Its certainly Autistic. But I guess why not transform the most popular YA novel into a philosophical manifesto? Is there a better way to indoctrinate children?
Bad cover though, should have some harry potter looking character with just enough differences to avoid trademark infringement.
Also, I wonder if JKR knows about this and what she thinks about it.

For Kierkegaard faith involves a leap across the absurd, there is nothing absurd about belieiving in the state you are currently in and so it is not really faith.

I didn't see a QTDDTOT thread so I'll ask this way
In Robert Fagles' translation of the Iliad, Book 6, Hellen is expressing to Hector her disgust with her coerced marriage to Paris
>But since the gods ordained it all, these desperate years,
>I wish I had been the wife of a better man, someone alive to outrage, the withering scorn of men.
What did she mean by this?
Is she saying he's capable of being enraged, or that he's someone who is hated?
Need help finding a book I read a while ago. It was a fantasy novel with a young boy as the main character. Everyone seems to like him yet views him as a kind of cursed child. His love interest is the baron's daughter whose father accidentally sells out the whole town to a raider pretending to be a soldier. I don't remember much after that.
Also OP, I always figured that she meant he was weak willed and incapable of being enraged.
>>9896030
Alive to outrage in the sense that he isn't fighting back for what is (now) his like he's supposed to.
She's saying Paris is a coward basically.

Help me decide:
Complete Works of William Shakespeare - hardback by Barnes and Noble
or
Complete Works of William Shakespeare - hardback by Canterbury Classics
On Amazon the Canterbury edition is more expensive, but on another place I found the Barnes more expensive. But the prizes of both editions are pretty close.
I'm able to check in a local bookstore only the Canterbury edition. It looks good, nice print and everything. But I'm not able to physically check the Barnes edition.
Does someone here have the Barnes edition?
Which one do you suggest? What are the differences.
Do you have some other hardback complete Shakespeare edition?
I don't want to buy it and see that the print is retarded like in the Knickerbocker Classics edition (luckily I checked that too in a bookstore).
>>9895946
I'd go for the first. But you should also look into Kevin McDonald's Culture of Critique Series if you want to become more wellrounded intellectually
