>>9827704
Makes complete sense that both of those opinions would be contributed to one individual

If you want to be redpilled and understand white culture, you have to read Dante. In The Divine Comedy he warned us against degeneracy by giving us a view of what Hell is like.

funny u call him a faggot but know nothing about him ....go blow your father

>>9827706
I've read only Dante's Inferno, you cuck. But that was back in high school. Don't reply to my posts ever again.

At the end of the the third book, all the hither/thither/ neo-old english by Tolkien started to get pretty annoying

authors that use "stamped" instead of "stomped" when describing someone kicking their foot to the ground
maybe it's a regional difference (I'm from new england), but i don't like the way it sounds and aside from literature I've never heard someone use stamp instead of stomp out loud.

>>9827591
Practice what? Your cursive? Typing?

>>9827591
Yeah.

Read for redpilled ideas about female and racial purity, male bonding, masculinity, white families, and religion

I dont see a distintion between, story/characters (and by extention, theme), prose is just the means by which it is conveyed.

tl;dr read for the whole and dont be a pleb.

unironically this

Kill yourself

There's still something to be gained from the process, are you suggesting we don't even try to understand the world, should we just all spend our time posting on a Mediterranean pole vaulting forum

>>9827404
You are responding to a stale pasta

That's a pretty poorly formulated question.

No but it will at least destroy your notion of a better person.

>>9827113
No, specifically. Whoever who told you that was lying.

Not shitposting either. if it's not a super expensive textbook you're after, fucking buy it. and not only because it's fair. Most downloads are formatted like shit.

Honestly dude, you are better off just buying the damn book. Textbooks and shit specifically meant for courses are fine to download, but when it comes to shit you want to read in your leisure time, just suck it up and buy the thing. There have also been studies that show that you remember more from reading from a physical book, because it's a hand-on experience, or something along those lines.

>>9826831
what a stupid question?

>>9826831
yeah

>>9826831
How else are you supposed to read them?

Read it again in 10 years.

Hi friend!
The importance of the Greeks is mostly historical but this is not a bad thing. Most of the big question was asked by the Greeks first and are carried throw all the history of philosophy. Studying philosophy's history is mandatory because it gives you prospective . Prospective reminds you that you should only be certain about the fact that you don't really know nothing. The Plato's republic is as arbitrary and as unfalsifiable as modern political theory. But that doesn't mean we have to throw all this theories away, because the process of finding truth is asintotic and you only get closer to it by trying. Also, don't read philosophy if u don't have an honest desire for funding the truth. Reading it for feeling less a looser or to compensate something in your life will not bring you any good.

(Sorry for the English)

>I don't have a lot to say about the book.
As you make clear.
>half assed Sociology and political theorising
The degeneration of the best to the worst form of government is not a historical or even chronological description.
>The numerology was laughable
It's a myth.
>some Oxbridge public schooler
Too many analytic Plato scholars pay zero attention to dramatic structure or the interplay between muthos and logos. You think that if you don't understand something on a first reading (of a translation!), it's bullshit. Why? You'd learn more assuming you that you don't understand some things immediately.
>Only at 30+ do you become a humanitiesfag.
what is dialectics
>He would have zero respect for humanitiesfags today and "literary intellectuals".
REVOLUTIONARY insight. Read the Phaedrus or any Socratic (so-called 'early') dialogues.
>art is for aesthetic value only, NOT for philosophising
wrong
>He is basically me
lolled
>My no BS view is that trying to answer questions of this type a priori (and even if you had a world simulator) is a fruitlessess endeavour.
Unsure what you're even trying to say here.
>Forms are just arbitrary definitions.
Couldn't be more wrong. (see: “The Philosophical Economy of Plato’s Theory of Ideas.” )
>Academic philosophy selects for unfalsifiable ideas because they facilitate the citation circlejerk and book deals.
I bet you're a fan of Peterson.
>I feel I can start reading what I like and stop reading boring novels.
Why wouldn't you just do that anyway?

Did you only read book eight and skim some of the rest?
What do you think the main objective of the work was?

In what way does he "misses the mark"?
at least formulate a criticism we can address

>>9826481
The absolutes of Taoism and Buddhism are accessed with an ordinary(everyday) intellect, while the mystical experiences of other religions speak to another dimension of human existence. God is unmistakably perceived in His Glory.

>>9826496
The Tao most literally means "the way" the dharma is also "the way" Jesus said I am "the way", etc

>this is considered top american scholar
Here is the simple explanation:
>It may seem like a false charge against the apostles that they did not ask where their Master was going, for earlier they had inquired of him on this subject. In asking, they did not lift up their minds to trust as they should above all have done. And so the meaning is 'As soon as you hear of my departure, you become alarmed and do not consider whether or for what purpose I go away".
Why is amercan education so shit, why do they even specialize in subjects when they can't even think to save their lives?

>>9826644
So, Op do you have anything else to say or you will stay btfoed forever?

A youthful picture, alas.
Generally she's always right.
Used to stalk her in the funny papers when i was a kid.

>>9826430
Probably a jewess. Smarter than me so I feel threatened and so I hate her. I bet I can steal her man if I transitioned.

>>9826614
Don't believe she is. Related to Ernst Mach.

Youe main idea is sort of correct but your reasoning is retarded
What makes film superior to literature is its universality of language
Of course, that goes only for the highest echelons of cinematic art

Film is three hundred years too early to compete with literature.

The more literate your become the more you understand why literature is considered a primary artform, next to music and visual art.
