This thread is calling for shitposts, but meditations unironically improved my life and was the book responsible for making me start reading philosophy

'Meditations' is self-help pabulum, not philosophy.

Made me realize how hard it is to have true sympathy for everyone, and how worthwhile it is.

He's obviously a shitposter.

Pol doesn't recommend mein kampf, it recommends the way of men, revolt against the modern world, might is right, etc.

>>8102410

have this book in my shopping cart

how does it read?

Siddartha

>>8102938
Very matter-of-fact, but the passion in the characters and love the narrator has for them is astounding.

>>8102399
>your absolutely retarded
Wew lad.

>>8102327
Not completely sure myself but I know that a lot of /pol/ kids use it. I believe it's a reference to the Matrix; it's a metaphor for gaining enlightenment.

The Republic is extremely thought-provoking. It's not some way to live, but it's a hell of a time if you like to think.

>>8102593
I know, you finally feel like you see how to live and be a part of a society that maybe you've felt a bit alienated from, but stoicism is simply not a coherent view of the world. It functions well for many people, but that's not the same as truth.

Myth of Sisyphus and Baghavad Gita

Not knowing what "redpill" means is a badge of honor

Meditations is useless. Just way too many things to try to keep in mind and purposefully apply to your everyday life at any moment. It's impossible.

>>8104021
i think it says somewhere within it that each virtue must be mastered once at a time until they become second nature, or maybe i read this somewhere else, or just go fuck yourself

>>8102946
used to be this, now it's power broker by robert caro

my life would be very different if that book hadn't convinced me that politics was a road worth pursuing

>>8104027
It takes three weeks of constant attention for a habit to be ingrained and become second nature. It's impossible with the amount in the book.

>>8102986

great book.

It's a Matrix meme that all the kids like to use.

Moby Dick was great, but life changing?
Same goes for The Brothers Karamazov.

Those two stood out above all else i've read really.

>Baghavad Gita

What version of this did you read mate? I'd like to read it but unsure of the "best" version.

>>8104021
That's why I like Epictetus' Discourses more. He simply hits the few core tenants running through Stoic Ethics and proceeds to bludgeon you over the head with them through all four books.

>>8104720
Just bought it off the kindle store, thank you.

>>8102984
so, absolutely beautiful?

What is "edgy" about knowing what philosophy is?
