fuck america

>>9619630
Depends on the country, i believe every country should study it's essentials.

For America, i'd keep Hemmingway, Melville, Fitzgerald as it is. Probably add The Crying Lot of 49.

>If you're an empiricist, you dont believe in god.

I don't necessarily agree. When I look at the world, I try to do it stone-cold objectively. However, when it comes to the origins of our universe, that is not something you can really observe, so that's where belief comes in. For instance, I think the idea we live in a simulated reality is very plausible. Believing that doesn't go against empiricism because either way I can't see how our universe was created.

The philosophical level of this threads is simply astonishing. you guys draw implications from things without any actual thinking behind it.

>If you are an empiricist, you don't believe in god.

No. If you are en empiricist, you believe in experience. To say that you don't believe in god, therefore, you would need (a) a working definition of what experience is (b) a prove of how it is impossible to ever experience of god according to that definition.

Now please articulate these two points and we may start debating whether an empiricist can/cannot believe in god.

Hwat! makes a first sentence good, never bad.

>>9619590
if it gives some hook/intrigue, introduce one or more characters, gives who is pov for scene, reveals some place and time detail, has some sort of action/motion = it's good

if it is boring fucking exposition or thinking/naval-gazing or some fag waking up or the weather or just fucking boring without at least a hint of tension / conflict / hook = it's bad

Can't go wrong with that.

i like it when i wipe my ass with too little toilet paper and some poo gets on my fingers and i smell my fingers and am comforted by the smell

>let's get Socratic
I don't think that word means what you think it means.

As someone who sometimes feels like a pseud, I define them as people who are "academics" or "intellectuals" because they want to fit into some stratified niche of people -- because it is an easy way to place oneself above most ppl

I think you're putting too much weight in this term, from my point of view it's mostly a meme thrown around as an easy insult when some anon starts to get pretentious. Also thrown at some (relatively) highly regarded academics like JBP or Bloom for the same reasons.

Either that or I'm the pseud.

>>9619506
No you're entirely correct

Op has been browsing 4chan too much and takes the memes too seriously.

Like the kind of person who forgets "autism" is an actual mental illness and has a specific meaning outside 4chan terminology.

>>9618988
You'll probably have had some philosophical thoughts on your own. Especially absurdist thoughts.

Read Ion, then The Republic, then Poetics, Nicomachean Ethics, then the Parmenides, then The Illiad and the Odyssey, then you're ready for drama. Read Antigone and The Bacchae.

>who should I read after the Greeks?
Romans

>>9618829
>Let's unravel the state and turn it into the Church.

read hegel's philosophy of right.

In a somewhat similar vein I had a lot of fun reading Anna Karenina and seeing why Lenin feltnit was so important to his brand of communism

>>9618868
Isn't Hegel the opposite though? Like turning everything into the state? Sorry, but I'm not well-read when it comes to Hegel.

>>9618810
Finnegans Wake is legitimately great for this if you aren't afraid, and understand you're not meant to understand most of it for a while.

are you guys interested in other media or just books? I think agency is a powerful thing in this subject.

It's the first big feminist dystopia novel.

>>9618832
well that makes sense because conspiracy theories about the patriarchy are common in feminism

>Beginning with a staged attack that kills the President and most of Congress, a Christian fundamentalist movement calling itself the "Sons of Jacob" launches a revolution and suspends the United States Constitution under the pretext of restoring order. They are quickly able to take away women's rights, largely attributed to financial records being stored electronically and labelled by sex. The new regime, the Republic of Gilead, moves quickly to consolidate its power and reorganize society along a new militarized, hierarchical regime of Old Testament-inspired social and religious fanaticism among its newly created social classes. In this society, human rights are severely limited and women's rights are even more curtailed; for example, women are forbidden to read.

>women are forbidden to read.

Basically my dream land.
