isn't it a bit 'just so'? like how fukuyama 'end of history' seems a bit 'just so' in hind sight... and hegel thought prussia was the end state
Why did it take so long for someone to debunk Hume?

Let's do a Pulp thread.
Doc Savage, The Shadow, Buck Rogers, Lost World,HP Lovecraft
I'm a big fan of old pulp stuff, and looking to finally read all the Doc Savage stuff. Is anyone else into pulp? What are you reading?

The destroyer series is pulpy as fuck. There was also another pulpy one about a lesbian assassin or so something like that. Maybe someone can post it here.
There's also a decent pulp scene on Amazon. If you like trashy writing, Amazon is the place to go.

I dont think anyone here actually reads pulp

I love pulp. Just read 20,000 leagues under the sea for the first time. Was shocked at how good it started out. Book stops dead in its tracks once they get on board the nautilus though.

Hello /lit/
I know this isn't /mu/, but I have a question about music for all the writers that browse /lit/.
What do you listen to when you write? Do you prefer silence when you write?
Whenever I do listen to music while I write, I've been listening to EAI and musique concrete stuff or sometimes instrumental jazz and chamber music.
I'm looking for recommendations. What works for you?

For a second I thought the question might be relevant. Another useless opinion thread.
>>
>>7897298
I promise I'll post a thread where we can discuss the aesthetic qualities of music in the future.
For now I'm just looking for album recs.

Sup /lit/erati,
I'm doing a course on Postmodernism, I've never done any actual Philosophy only course so I figure I better do extra reading to get as much as I can out of it and to get a good grade.
I'm supposed to write a 10 page essay on some aspect of Post-modernism or an influential post-modern thinker.
Any ideas on someone interesting that I could focus on? Any good books or essays that you think I should read?
Here is the compulsory minimum reading list I have from my course:
Lyotard, The Postmodern Condition
Sigmund Freud, Civilization and its Discontents
Heidegger, Introduction II to Being and Time
Michel Foucault, Madness and Civilization
and What is Enlightenment?
Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish
Emmanuel Levinas, -God, Death, and Time; Basic Philosophical Writings
Derrida. Of Grammatology
Jacques Derrida, On Cosmopolitanism and On Forgiveness
Frederick Jameson, Postmodernism: The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism
Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation (part 1)
Barthes Mythologies
Deleuze, Difference and Repetition
Judith Butler, Undoing Gender
Slavoj Zizek, You May!
I'm not asking you to do my homework for me or something, just looking for possible topics that I might not be aware of seeing as I'm completely new to the topic. I've got ages to write the paper so I'm just looking to do some good research.

I'm 18 and just getting into literature. I've always been a pretty big reader and I've read books by lots of more well-known and 'classic' authors (Hemingwey, Tolstoy, Dickens, Faulkner, Poe, Twain, a bit of Joyce, Orwell, Kafka, Fitzgerald, Proust, Huxley, Aghileri, etc), but I'm just starting to get into more 'contemporary' literature.
Is this book actually good, or am I getting memed?

If you're still thinking in terms of protagonists, you're actually 50-60 years behind the times.
