His work is not systematic, exhaustive or complete enough to give weight to the rather existential and total point he's trying to get across. On top of that, many edgy kids that seem want an easy exit out of ethics or that just want to be plain edgy take him and do a reductionist reading then make memes of him looking "badass". Finally, I think a lot of the hate comes from the fact that his philosophy, made into a social or political system, would be an economic disaster and would stray from the precepts of modernity, which is all good, but people are educated into these precepts and challenging them requires more that what Stirner did.

>muh

Thanks for that great expository capacity, faggot

Yes OP, Nietzsche, Aristotle, Derrida, Foucault and Deleuze are the best, I agree.

who /gilbertoowen/ here?

Mi estrella -óyela correr- se apagó hace años. Nadie sabría ya de dónde llega su luz, entre los dedos de la distancia. Te he hablado ya, Natanael, de los cuerpos sin sombra. Mira ahora, mi sombra sin cuerpo. Y el eco de una voz que no suena. Y el agua de ese río que, arriba, está ya seco, como al cerrarle de pronto la llave al surtidor, el chorro mutilado sube un instante todavía. Como este libro entre tus manos, Natanael.

Kinda naco tbh
Kidding, never read him, what's a good intro to his works?

>nataniel

Nigga, it's Natanael.

The Fondo de Cultura Económica has pic related. It's very short, but it has some very good poems and letters, including the one I posted above ("Sombra"). He's a great poet, his diction is outstanding and his images are the stuff of dreams. There are other anthologies but they are very hard to find.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Do this one, OP.
Everybody memorizes this one.
Ur teacher will know it, and like it.

The answer is uncertain

>>7231213
What a copout. Someone at least list various ideas or theorists that are current and relevant to the discussion.

>>7231164
There is no cutting edge lin in thought or movement in Literary Theory right now. The literary world is dead. The publishing business has been taken over by feminists who publish pink books for women. Next time you go into a bookshop look around the whole place is pink and everything is written by and for insecure women at a really low level of skill or insight i.e. "I'm normal, aren't I?"

Also the book publishers and film industry are all run by the same group of people. There is no end to the kind of thoughts and ideas you can have. But the oligarchs that seek to control and stifle debate limit free speech and expression to further their genocide in the Middle East. That is why about ten years ago why everyone is saying that Hollywood is running out of ideas and is just repeating itself. It isn't that there aren't decent ideas out there they are just being suppressed because they are either too revealing or serve to push agendas that belong to narratives that Jews disagree with; namely Christ.

you should write how the history of eliot being a beta faggot retard who got cucked influenced it tbh

>he thinks TS elliot wrote about WW1

>>7231112
write about whitman writing leaves of grass, that'll suit your tastes I'm sure

Sitting on rocks near rivers is pretty nice.

I could be 75 from all you know.

I loved Good Morning, Midnight, but I imagine it's quite different to that one. At her best she's brilliant though.

>>7230946
What the fuck, are we in the same class?

Reading it right now and it's not bad so far. Digging the prose.

try reading the book

>>7230691
The Pearl by John Steinbeck.

I'm really doubting you did any Googling, to be honest.

The easiest, most predictable joke that could have been made, yet I still laughed. I award you this upvote tentatively.

Chuck Palahniuk

"Only if Science exists on the basis of metaphysics can it advance further in its essential task, which is not to amass and classify bits of knowledge but to disclose in ever-renewed fashion the entire region of truth in nature and history." - [Martin Heidegger/ What is Metaphysics/Basic Writings pg. 56/57]

>perception is subjective

Yes, we know. Moderns love parroting that shit. You're not sharing anything insightful.

>>7230915
You misquoted me.
There are 18 sentences in the paragraph I posted and you responded to none of them.

Well, my university seems to have spent hundreds of dollars buying all of his Critical Editions and all of his other books. So, if universities care so much, he'll be relevant for a while.

He seems to have been rendered obsolete a long time ago, actually. I doubt he will endure anywhere near as well as Bergson or Spencer, who, after all, you have still heard of.

>>7230655
Yes but I hear them in the same way one knows a famous person for being famous rather than have important ideas. Even when they are mentioned, it isn't indepth at all; often studying influences of more important contributors and their relations with their contemporaries.
