Pynchon has revisited our precious board.

Strap in, fellas

Tractacus

>>9873911
It's Wittgenstein or Heidegger. Any other name will just be mentioned by hipsters trying to be unique

Being and Time or Tratacus

>>9873738
No. Here is the objectively true order:

The Illiad
The Odyssey
All Shakespeare
Faust
Turtles All The Way Down
Divine Comedy

Ovid wrote to most profound work to ever grace the earth, and you guys are blind to it.

>self insert fanfic
>good
But seriously though, its pretty good, but greatest work of all time is a bit hard to quantify.

>Understands Cronenburg, understands the work.

>>9873683
btw anyone read Cronenberg's book? it's alright. Shades of DeLillo and Pynch mixed with his body horror.

I like this new meme where any absurdist literature is called Pynchonesque

You too anon. You too.

>>9873506
Bump

>>9873304
Neither, read Mien Kampf instead so that you can take the redpill and not the blue pill

Do your own homework.

>>9873304
Read both.

Nope. Philosophy circa 1900 and Science have always been concerned with different questions. The relevance of philosophy will always be doubted; this has nothing to do with science.

I cannot think of any questions that science has answered in the domain of philosophy and vice versa.

>>9873196
He was a scientist and he thought as a scientist. Philosophy was no use to him, but no one is Feynman either.
Also I would say that he ahd absolutely no moral and ethical sense, and that he operated completely on common sense. He did not overcome moral philosophy, he simply never approached it in the first place.
I remember in a written interview him saying that experiencing the "weird" in particle physics (for "weird" he meant those moments in ehich everything clicks together and you get to truly get the full picture of Nature for a few seconds, similar to Heidegger's Dasein but applied to scientific contemplation) makes most human matters al ost meaningless, as though talking about ideas is like talking about nothing.

hey guys look, he posted this thread again

It's the academic standard

>>9873144
Plato wasn't actually that great. You can find much better.

>>9873144
It's pretty much the go to for Plato. The pages are really thin but it had to fit in one volume.

hungry hungry gaterbillar XD lol!

(just kidding, phantom tollbooth)

>>9873036
Thanks, I haven't actually heard of that one. I got Pax because I love Jon Klassen's art, and I've heard Smile is one of the better kids' comics. And thanks to being on this site, I'll always like Phoebe and her Unicorn.

>>9873027
... Dr.Seus?
Like... The Cat in the Hat?

This video sums up my opinion of Joshua Cohen and also the Jewish race.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIixN9oTOgk

>>9872981
While what you said about the Jewish race is dumb (I'd recommend killing yourself immediately), that video could not be a more persuasive argument to never read a single of his works.

>>9872981
His books are a lot better than that video would indicate. Idk what the fuck he's doing there

Also, kys.

>books
>anti-civilization
Just doesn't add up, bud. Pre-civilization populations were illiterate

unabomber manifesto

>>9872892
This makes sense if 'civilization' is distinguished from 'culture' via Spengler. In which anti-civilization=against the contemporary way that life is lived. The Una-bomber tract, with its sophomoric mash-up of Freud and Nietzsche, could then be cited as an instance.

This is /lit/ super wall.

critics part is the second weakest part, so it gets much better.

>>9871902
I feel like the critics part is the second best part, next to the part about archimboldi, but maybe I am a pleb

>>9871946
archimboldi > crimes > amalfintano > critics > fate

>>9871616
you are contradicting yourself, moron

>>9871616
As far as literature is concerned, "Good vs. Bad" correlates with "Investment vs. Return." It just so happens that most of the books considered to be "good literature" offer a good return for the investment of your time based on a number of factors, as is the opposite case for "bad literature."

>>9871616
>Everything is subjective
Wrong. Objectively you're a terrible shitposter.
