Is this the last one?

>>9757782
Yeah but not classical because classical demands full attention to be appreciated and certainly demands more respect than being treated as background music.

Peterson would be raped cucked by rape nigga no question

>>9757586
If one is still Peterson after reading Nietzsche, 45 minutes on one paragraph is a waste of time.

Harold Bloom is the Scaruffi of /lit/ whereas this guy is the Fantano.

OP here. Real question. What is the deal with everyone in Dostoyevsky's books getting brain fever?

>>9757540
fuck off

It's fine. You wont get the full experience as the poet intended, but you can glimpse enough aspects of it's greatness through a proper translation. Point in question; my Homer is Lombardo and I prefer his swift style of delivery over Lattimore's faithful adherence to the Greek.

It really depends on the poem, though. For Dante, I'd like to focus on his philosophical aspects, for which reason I prefer the accuracy of Longfellow.

I looked at a facsimile of one of the oldest daodejing scrolls the other day and felt elevated

I meant to ask whether or not it is acceptable to read untranslated poetry that is written in a language one cannot understand.

At least half of the population of hobbyists don't read/watch/listen to the media they collect.

>>9757408
100 unread books is not bad if you have many more that are read. If your collection is all read books you're doing it wrong. Any reader is afraid of not having a reserve on hand.

My pride myself on my every growing library. Although I haven't read every book on my shelves, it's comforting to know that at any point I can pick from my collection of my own personal backlog.

Transcendentalism is just transcendentalism.
Bohemianism is just bohemianism.
Dada is dadA (unless it's Da-Da)

Hippies where just the baby-boomers coming of age and not doing much at all with their potential.

Menand's book on them is good.

Hark, a wild baby-boomer appears.

I mean does Menand claim they are basically hippies?

Judging by your picture, are you sure you aren't looking for anti-relativist writers ?

>>9757407
Nietzsche was a moral relativist, so no.

Not him.

What stands in the way of Liberté, Equalité, Fraternité? The fulfillment of the promise?

Turns out it was capitalism.

I'm sick of "wtf was his problem" threads. People who post threads like that want others to do all the work for them, they never explain why they think someone has a problem.
Oh, and it's Karl Marx. A person that you know 99% of /lit/ hates.
So your post is really unoriginal and low-effort and should never post a thread like this again.

If you don't read them counterclockwise, starting from bottom right, something bad will happen in your sleep

It doesn't matter. Please stop making these kind of threads.

As You Like It

Stirner realized that his spook for debunking spooks was a spook itself. Mankind would be better off without spooks, but yet spooks are essential to our fundamental being.

>>9757108
Just read the book, kid.
He's about as "pro capitalist" as anyone living in this world. Yeah, he tried to start a business, so what? He was also hounded for the rest of his life by debt collectors and died in impoverished filth. The perfectly valid truth of his philosophy can be applied to capitalism.

No The "ego" isn't a spook. That's not what the German word means. Unless you're some kind of solipsist.

Fall

Patiently waiting for Mcelroy to die so we can finally get that 3rd printing. he's 86, so fingers crossed.

From the goodreads group '"I received an update from Dzanc today. Be assured, the book is still in the works. Joe has been editing this thing with the aim to make it "a version of this book that he can pick up and not find a single mistake in". There is at least one more process of working in his corrections and returning it to him for further possible corrections. Basically, Dzanc is doing the edition that Joe himself will be as pleased with as possible.

As to the cover art, it is a painting by his wife and he "feels it captures the book perfectly".

Dzanc does understand the frustrations expressed in this group with the constant delay. It's their frustration too. But again, they are committed to producing an edition that Joe is happy with. I think that's some pretty cool stuff from a publisher.

We don't have a firm release date yet, but I think it's reasonable to expect it by the year's end. If anyone's got any other question, please do let me know. I'll pass them on to Dzanc. Perhaps I should've inquired sooner with them, but basically what they've told me has been my understanding--it's taking some time and it's going to be done to Joe's own standards. [but not to Nick's standard of calf-bound hd ; but at least there'll be a print edition.]"' so yes, we won't see a third print til Mcelroy's dead.

>>9757050
that's why you must prepare for death in advance

as in, all the time, starting right now

>>9757719
holy shit thank you

Harold Lauder's last scene in The Stand did this for me
(although that actually plays into a grand narrative so it's a less good example)
