How to do things with words - J. L. Austin
The Concept of Mind - Gilbert Ryle
A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs - Donald Davidson
Brains in a Vat - Hilary Putnam
The Meaning of Meaning - Hilary Putnam
Then read Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature by Richard Rorty and you're done with analytic philosophy. Everything else is a waste of time.

You may find Kripke's work interesting, though I've only read Naming and Neccesity and seen some of his discussions on externalism.

last one

Good job on the lists /lit/ but how come you guys don't have some kind of list with all the consequential papers? Since most of the developments in this stream happened via academic papers as opposed to full length books (well, mostly, sorta).

I can't help but think that this notion of having an analytic philosophy reading list of books caters more to /lit/'s bookshelf fetish (which acts as a sort of external validation for you, you insecure little shits) above an actual interest in analytic thought.

Thanks for all of this. Is it on the wiki, and i just missed it?

One big problem with journals is the paywall. Of course, you could get around it through libgen before but i don't know now. Scihub?

>One big problem with journals is the paywall. Of course, you could get around it through libgen before but i don't know now. Scihub?

Both work as far as I've tried. Never found a paper (especially one that would be a big deal in analytic philosophy) that wasn't available there.

Can you shoot me an example of a paper you didn't find on libgen?

Sci-hub is convenient too ofc.

Also, if you were to study analytic philosophy in a university (if they have it as a distinct course or even if they don't) you'll be reading a lot of papers, some books too of course, but a lot of papers.

Can someone inform me more about the whole toy train aesthetic? I think I remember watching looney tunes or something and there was this trope of an authoritarian father figure spending time downstairs in the basement with either a toy train track or a mini model of a city. What was that all about?

>>8305083
There's some difference between straight up wooden toy trains for children as in the OP and model trains as adults might use them where you need to build small model trees and have to pull the switches so the trains come on time or put water in a thing so it makes smoke somehow

Model trains were a dad thing at some point in the past, dad would go down in the basement and build his miniature trainland while his honest and apron wearing housewife shakes her head and bakes apple pie while the children play outisde and aren't allowed to ever touch daddy's trains and micropeople

But that hobby has mostly died out and is mostly at home in sitcom episodes now
I remember some story about how the biggest model train manufacturer almost went bankrupt and had to resort to trickery to save their business but I don't remember how that tale went

No, i don't have any examples yet. I just know they removed a whole bunch of papers on libgen.

>>8305459
Tbh most analytic works you'd have to refer to seem seminal enough to be on google, I'm sure lib gen has em.

I think you'd only find lib gen at its end if you're throughly researching a field, not for the highly cited works in analytic philosophy.

I'm guessing you're a hobbyist and don't really need to do this?
Hi btw, I don't see many analytic phil enthusiasts around who haven't studied philosophy formally. What's your background? I mean academically and with respect to previous readings.

Fuck your post about model train hobbyism. Fuck dad.
