No need to know them. The Tempest is the greatest peace of playwright comedy ever created. You may as well as just end your life right now, knowing that it will never be surpassed.

Nipple leash

Kant, Adorno, Benjamin, Heidegger

Plotinus, though not relevant anymore, also tackles aesthetics in a very interesting way IMO

you're truly an autist if you need a chart to read an author.

>>7727423
Read the chart retard.

General chart thread to salvage this shit. I'll start off by asking for the 11 charts on philosophy.

Camus.

A better idea would be to not read Camus haha

>>7726757
Why so?

cocaine & hard liquor

Writers don't write because they want to, but because they have to.

Smoking helped my creativity when I was younger for some reason.

To keep the masses afraid and dependent on the establishment. To prevent the stagnation of fear of the enemy

Having the same enemy for years on end would increase the chances of war weariness, as well as making the government seem incompetent.
"Oh, we've been fighting the African Negro Freedom Coalition for 40 years now? Why does it seem we're never good enough to beat them?"

>the ability to be able to

>>7722276

Oh lawdy. I actually lol'd at that. People don't actually say this do they?

DFW's intelligence and work are really depressing
>tfw you'll never be a genius who smokes weed on a daily basis

The book is profoundly sad. It's very enjoyable too, and lots of the episodes are excellent pieces of writing unto themselves.

>>7721625
I'm 60 pages into it and, no offense, but I have yet to encounter an interesting scene. Approximately when does it get good?

Is it true that "good prose" is just a crutch for bad fantasy or is it an integral part of the book?

No it isn't, IQ has nothing to do with it.

>>7718486
Whoever tells you that intelligence is innate is lying.

Read literature, read philosophy, learn a language! You can be as smart as the best of mankind if you apply yourself intellectually. Man does not become brilliant by nature, but by habit.

>>7718486
You don't need to be intelligent to read
Just look at /lit/
