Ludwig Klages' Biocentric metaphysics and the Munich Cosmic Circle
>Schuler the last of the German Cathars. Schuler saw himself as a reborn Roman of the late imperial era. Also a neopagan, he was the spiritual focus of the "Munich Cosmic Circle", and made a broad impact without ever publishing a book during his lifetime.
>The research into Schuler's life has been predominantly concerned with the memetic influence he may have exerted upon certain progenitors of German National Socialism, spurred by his anti-Judaism, his distinct employment of the swastika and, above all, by Robert Boehringer's thesis that Adolf Hitler may have met Schuler in the "salon Bruckmann". Despite his anti-Semitism, Schuler was however neither a National Socialist nor a member of any political party and it may seem likely that he would have found the active, public agitation of a politician to be a sacrilege against his gnostic beliefs.
>As a philosopher, Klages took the Nietzschean premises of Lebensphilosophie "to their most extreme conclusions." He drew a distinction between life-affirming Seele (spirit) and life-destroying Geist (mind). Geist represented the forces of "modern, industrial, and intellectual rationalization", while Seele represented the possibility of overcoming "alienated intellectuality in favor of a new-found earthly rootedness."[7]
Klages was an occult proto national socialist, but was also praised by high level occult jews like Benjamin and Habermas, who recognised his genius. Is there anywere I can find their works in English?

Wtf I thought you where baiting but this shit IS NOT FAKE.
WHY.
philosophy is outdated, literally the only reason to read it in 2017 is to perform better in debate acrobatics for social points. kys
looks like some shitty pop culture philosophy. They might be fun, but I wouldn't expect them to actually teach you very much substance
Am a bit drunk, and writing some poetry. And why would anyone ever read anything written in, or translated from anything but their own native language? Who fucking cares about English conventions of rhymes and rhythm when you have the natural ability to write in the form of the poetic Edda?

jeg ser henne i oynene
og rodmer
smiler forsiktig
hun smiler forskiktig
ser på munnen hennes
og på blikket hennes
hun ser på munnen min
jeg lener hodet frem
og kjenner leppene mine
mot hennes
og bevegelsen i hennes lepper
om mine
og jeg åpner de
og jeg kjenner varmen
fra henne
og jeg kjenner leppene hennes strammes om mine
og slipper
og griper
og slipper
og jeg slipper henne
og jeg lener meg bak og ser
ansiktet hennes rodme
og blikket hennes beruset
lengte etter lepper, sodme
varme, kjenne huden griper
lepper griper
smiler,
mine armer griper om henne
våre haker hviler
på mine skuldre og hennes skuldre
og vi vet at vi har funnet
kjærlighet

Tyler or McCullough?
Also, are the 4 volume paperback versions of Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West good enough to get, or do they have shitty formatting?

Tyler.
The 4 volume paperbacks are more than fine.

Many thanks
Are people memeing when they talk about Zizek? I just started reading this and it's all reference to obscure Heideggerisms mixed with the entire span of French wave philosophy. It's good stuff, but I thought it would be somewhat accessible because of how normies are all over Zizek.
if you're too dumb for zizek you may as well stick to celerity gossip magazines and television because he is entry level af.

Žižek writes dense and accessible, just depends on the title.
>>9809334
>normies are all over Zizek
normies, if they read Zizek (they usually just meme about his tics and watch a video or two of his), would probably stick to some of his easier, more grounded works like the 9/11 one. a 1000 page book on Hegel and Lacan appeals to a much more niche audience
Did /tg/ read anthem? I read it and fucking loved it. It divided a bunch of folks though, how do you feel about it and why?
I thought it was great too.
Would you rather be a rhetor or incanter?
I think people didn't like it cause it was about philosophy as opposed to hard scifi.
>rejects "traditional science", yet slavishly appeals to 'studies'
>constantly name drops the history of science in a way that suggests such a comfortable familiarity that the subject is more an inside joke, and you're in on it too!
>constantly misinterpreting the history of philosophy
>uses the word objective
