No, because God doesn't talk to me.
:( pls respond, God

Well seeing as how Kierkegaard thought the teleological suspension of the ethical made sense in the case of the Knight of Faith, then the only situation in which one would have to do so is if he were called upon to do it by God.

Won't happen unless you've made the movement of infinite resignation, which you haven't.

>Germans were outnumbered nearly 1:5 on the Eastern front, not accounting partisans
>Americans threw half their steel industry into the USSR, although some divisions couldn't afford weaponry for everyone the USSR was overall much more well equipped than the Germans
>The entire Western allied campaign probably amounted to 5% of the German defeat, while the USSR contributed to the remaining 95, yet all credit is due to fucking Americans nowadays for muh cold war

Only read Foundation, (the first published one), and loved it. I'll be sure to read some of the others soon.

Pic unrelated.

Some of the later ones are pretty bad. Still better than most writers from the genre, but Asimov never attempted to transcend the genre, like Lem did and in some cases the Strugatzkijs did as well.

With, obviously. The author put it in for a reason.

Movie > book imo

Obviously with the 21st chapter. Why would you go against what the author intended? The whole work is meaningless without his intention.

>>8038378
Because there's a great number of people that still believe the book is meaningless WITH the final chapter.

But alright. I probably would've read it either way.

DFW hung himself with a belt, pleb.

>>8038265
You'll probably get more out of it just reading it on your own at your own pace. Group readings are pretty plebeian and the only real benefit is forced "motivation", something which you should conjure up on your own or otherwise not even be reading at all.

no. read something good like mason and Dixon, the recognitions or life and fate

Read it and see for yourself

Wow. What a smart and intelligent answer.
The book is nine hundred pages long. I don't want to get to page eight hundred, an find out that I'm reading a horrible translation that completely botched the entire message/idea behind the book.

>>8037819
m8 you re reading a translation, if you want to get 'the entire message/idea behind the book' read it in russian

fucking faggots

language is an integral part of human existence. english is the formal study of a currently predominant language as it is and has been expressed and read by people. this kind of study facilitates effective communication. communication is essential to survival.

philosophy is formalized thinking. thinking is also an integral and essential part of human existence and survival. the hard sciences are different types of a philosophy, namely empiricism. even bare facts unearthed by 'hard sciences' require philosophical interpretation. see for example the different competing interpretations of quantumn mechanics. the equations and experiments of quantumn mechanics are singular, but they are INTERPRETED differently. this is philosophy.

>It's Literally useless to pursue these degress

but it's literally all about fulfilling desire though. things like 'merit,' 'value,' or 'use' are pretenses cowards use to justify their personal preferences. the premise of a degree being useful or not is the assumption that human beings must continue to survive in the universe. many billions of years went by without us being here, and literally countless billions more will follow our collective annihilation. while we are here it is paramount we pursue our own desires, goals, and passions. some of us that is reading and thinking about fiction, others that may be looking at and thinking about distant stars. no need to condescend

>>8037486
>hard science
LOL

I don't understand the point of it. Why did he shoot that arab multiple times? Blaming it on the sun isn't a valid reason. Was he a psychopath?

>>8037429
it isn't

>>8037926
Try reading Camus' essay The Myth of Sisyphus and then you will understand maybe.

He wasn't a psychopath, he just understood the meaninglessness of everything.

assuming you know nothing or very little, read an article on the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy or the internet encyclopedia of philosophy, then pick an author that seems interesting to you, read an article about them then go into reading an actual book from them
