G'day /lit/, ausfag law student here.
I'm a big fan of your reading guides and I was wondering if anyone here has studied or read jurisprudence before?
Whats a good starting point if you want to learn more about law, legal philosophy and legal history?
Obviously "lerl start with the Greeks" and then go on to Cicero, but what else?

Literally hundreds. Frank Dikotter's just put out a new one as part of his continuing mission to show how awful the CCP was. The standard work is probably McFarquhar and Somebody I Can't Remember.

Alain Badiou has written a fair bit on Maoism.

So I downloaded the starter kit to my google drive
Got a copy of Mythology by Edith Hamilton
Read some Plato
Have read Illiad before (well bits and pieces)
And have been listening to a podcast series of pre-Socratic philosophers
But I dunno guys, its all very fascinating but should I really start with the Greeks?
Is it just a meme or will it ultimately serve some sort of purpose?
Can I skip to the enlightenment? I really want to read Kant.

you can start wherever you want lol "start with the greeks" is a meme.

You really can start wherever you want, but I still think that you should read them at some point.

You need to read Hume and Descartes to understand Kant, nothing else.

How do you teach yourself to be able to read classics and other difficult books? Is there like a reading list or something where the books progress in difficulty from a typical modern novel to the hardest classics? Would easing into them like that even work out?

Start with short classics with short chapters and a small but decent vocabulary that are enjoyable on a very surface level, like The Stranger, The Immoralist or Of Love and Other Demons. I'll even throw Buk's Post-Office in there, or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Gradually increase the length and difficulty at a pace that doesn't hinder the enjoyment of the book, and continue to choose books that constantly choose books that interest you.
I still kind of do this but at a much more frantic pace. After Moby-Dick, GR, and War and Peace each time I returned to a shorter work that took less effort sentence-to-sentence that I had always wanted to read, and then dove into something much longer that took a lot more work.
I also found Soumission by Houellebecq to be extremely funny and smart, while very easy. I don't know, research some basics.

You know the Greek meme?
it isn't half wrong.
A LOT of classics constantly make reference to various Greek mythos.
The same goes with the bible.

No. He just admired their physiques and maybe enjoy a cheeky cock in his bum now and again, but this was all in a straight way of course.

>>8053467
It's possible to have gay aesthetic tastes but not be gay. In fact I think that gay aesthetic tastes are incredibly straight. It takes a man to appreciate another man, women and fags are too distracted by their craving for cock.
