Start with the Greeks.

>>7423537
Dagon is a pretty good place to start. If you want to go right to the meat, no veggies, no fruit, read either Herbert West--Reanimator, The Colour out of Space (my favorite), or At the Mountains of Madness.

I mean I don't like most of it but I don't sperg out like you. Some of it isn't bad but quite honestly he didn't even understand his theory enough to properly express it.

can you explain the categorical imperative?

>>7423552
Basically, (as far as I understand anyway), you take your principal of will, universalize it, and its immoral if there are contradictions.
So if you want to steal then it becomes >Everyone should steal if they want to
Naturally if everyone steals then there would be nothing left to steal, therefore its not logically sound and is immoral.

Being an over emotional and stupid Christian, he probably would say something like that.

>>7422974
Aquinas would say all kinds of dumb shit.

>>7422974
I think Aquinas would say that Hume doesn't even understanding causality. First of all, Hume does address form, matter, or final cause at all. Second, he has a child's understanding of efficient cause. He thinks it's pool balls hitting each other, when actually the efficient cause is that which converts a potential being into an actual being. You don't need to be able to see it happen to realize that it must, even if watching it happen is how we recognize efficient causes.

>>7423002
If you think the best criticism of the scholastics is that they were too "emotional" than you've clearly never read them.

Does this sound particularly overwrought with emotion to you?
"The efficient cause is called a cause with respect to the end, since the end is actual only by the operation of the agent. But the end is called the cause of the efficient cause, since the efficient cause does not operate except by the intention of the end. Hence the efficient cause is the cause of that which is the end, for example walking in order to be healthy. However, the efficient cause does not cause the end to be the end. Therefore it is not the cause of the causality of the end, i.e., it does not cause the end to be the final cause; for example the doctor causes health to actually exist, but he does not cause health to be the end."

Quit projecting.

They look cooler and it feels nice to hold them.

Preference is preference. Totally personal.

I like to physically feel my place in the book, and infinite jest wouldn't have been the same without flipping that fat bitch back and forth manually.

Read it and find out

>>7422755
Yes. It's funny, easy to get through in one sitting, and fits the 4chan mindset.

Yep, read it.
