Has JBP ever talked about the Traditionalist authors such as Evola, Guenon, or Eliade? They seem to draw many parallels. How do you think they would feel about each other's work?

Has any author/philosopher coherently argued the existence of a god?
>>9685141
>t. Has never read a philosophy book and expects to be spoon fed
there are plenty of coherent arguments for the existence of a god. but coherence is a pretty low bar. I'd say none of them are sufficient
>>9685141
Philosophy is born out of religion's ruins so I guess not many.

I'm looking for some sort of recommended reading for economic thought,stating with early thinkers moving towards the present. Including authors like Smith, Rousseau, Marx, Hobbes, Rothbard, etc.
>booty is always related. why else read?
Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers is a good place to start.
Start with the Mycenaean Greeks, Linear B texts to be precise.
Just read research papers textbooks on economics. You should read anything else only if you want to learn about the history of economics rather than economics itself.

What translation of "Der Einzige und sein Eigentum" is the best?
The new 2017 one by Wolfi Landstreicher or the old 1907 one by Steven T. Byington revised by David Leopold?
I'm really torn here /lit/. The one main difference I can discern is that the new one treats his historical/human development chapters as a parody and mockery of Hegel, whereas the old one takes them at face value.
>>9684620
The old one being "The Ego and Its Own"
translation superiority is a spook

I guess I'll just read the first few pages and decide which one I like best
Anyone else currently reading this book? I'm about three quarters finished, been reading it on and off for a few months now, and I think it's my new favourite book. So much that I love about it.
To get the conversation started, let's talk about Pierre. I feel conflicted with how to judge his character. Sometimes I feel a wave of empathy for him (Helene being such a cunt to him and people taking advantage of him), other times I admire him (having the courage to want to get back up and better himself, multiple times throughout his life), other times pity (usually his attempts to make any changes fail due to his lack of intelligence), and about half the time I just despise him for being such a big clueless oaf.
>>9684511
Reminds me of another character, not from W&P, but another book I don't quite remember the name of. He wasn't clueless, and pretty much did exactly what you were describing, but he suffered that he might free his friend (I remember various excerpts about enlightenment era aristocratic intrigue). Essentially he knew how bad he was fucking everything up, but that price he was willing to pay to free his best friend. I admired him on all three counts.
>>9684511
Asides from Tolstoy's annoying moralism I hated all the forced coincidences in the book. It made everything feel very lazy.
>Of the hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers fighting across hundreds of miles it's Dolohov that rescues Pierre
>Of the hundreds of thousands of people who fought in the battle of Borodino it's Anatole who dies next to Andrei
>Of all the cities, of all the men it was the Rostov's who unknowingly house Andrei
>It just so happens that of all the people and of all the places he could have been it was Nikolai who bumps into Maria
That's not even all of them.
>>9684511
I read it for school in 11th grade. I didn't retain all that much of it, but I enjoyed it somewhat. It was pretty good at certain parts. At others is was extremely boring. I liked Tolstoy's philosophy, and although I didn't understand much of it at the time, it certainly resonates with me now. 8/10 overall, didn't need to be so long.

I want some pulpy fun crime books to read, will any of these Hard Case Crime ones scratch that itch?
http://www.hardcasecrime.com
>>9680682
they range from mediocre to decent. A lot of interesting early career stuff from some big name authors.
but, If you're looking for the real good shit, read some David Goodis.
>>9682233
almost forgot. check out Whit Masterson, specifically Kitten With a Whip. Also pic related is a great collection I would recommend.
>>9682233
Yeah, the Hard Case books are a real mix. I've found that in general the older ones (1940s/50s/60s) are better and the newer stuff is more imitative and forgettable (with a few exceptions). Some of the ones I've liked the most were:
>Wade Miller - Branded Woman (two co-writers - the same guys also used the pseudonym Whit Masterson, mentioned here >>9682245 )
>David Dodge - Plunder of the Sun
>Donald Westlake - 361
>Richard Stark (pseudonym of Donald Westlake) - Lemons Never Lie
>Lawrence Block - Grifter's Game
>Max Philips - Fade to Blonde (this one's a newer book)
If you want some better-quality crime fiction, try Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, James Crumley (earlier stuff is better), Charles Willeford, and the early novels of James M. Cain.
I noticed that as I got older more and more of my friends stopped reading all together. The only time they read is for class and sometimes not even then. What happened that made everybody stop reading.
reading is poorly aligned with post-industrial value structures
YA gets boring and people have a suspicion for literature from school.

Because they don't want to. The kids who want to read, read and the kids who don't, don't.
