I'm looking for some existential lit with a little edge

>>8581350
I've only read Nausea from him but it assumes a basic level of acquaintanceship with the ideas of existentialism. Notes from Underground by Dosto is a good starting point for the whole movement. lots of REEEEEE's to be had in it

>>8581373

I've read it.

>>8581350
Camoo is your guy even if he was technically an absurdist rather than an existentialist.

>>8581381
Ah
then i would agree with >>8581395, check out the stranger if you wanna get into the frogs. Crime and Punishment is also good if you wanna stick to Russia

>>8581395
this. Camus is just Camus, but Sartre could have not been.

Put the ass in your ass and cum piss out of your dick all over your tits while your ass fists your pussy and your balls fingers your ass.

Fuck off Indian.

Madarchod I fuck you sister you bitch and bastard!

How do I make good vindaloo without tomatoes

>>8581350
I suggest masturbating and seeing if you feel better afterwards

Satre was a shitty playwright. As for his philosophy, nothing more than the extrapolation of serious misinterpretations of Heidegger's Being and Time.

That's too big of a range, to be honest, son.

I don't see why you didn't post your real age.

Since you didn't use a trip, we'll never know if any clarifications are really you.

>>8581350
Don't waste your time on philosophers is my advice.

Carl sagan's cosmos, to get a good sense of size and scale and how a person willing to test hypotheses and subject his opinions to the light of actual scrutiny by defining his terms and being willing to be wrong.

Then the selfish gene by dawkins for a good sense of what organic "Life" actually is at it's core.

After you've got a good foundation of nicely defined terms and workable systematics with which to think about and discuss what "Life" is and means to you, without mugging up your discussion with the ambiguous and interchangeable terminologies that philosophers and social scientists apply loosely to anything but directly to nothing, go back to carl sagan and hit up "Dragons of eden" for a good sense of human nature as it evolved since we separated from earlier hominids on the evolutionary tree. If you're still unsatisfied with the way you think about life, yourself, meaning, purpose, and direction, then start choosing subjects/trades/skills to master and pick up the "For dummies" on those topics. Find a marketable way to contribute to life and the best of luck to you. Philosophy is a waste of time and you're only going to be very frustrated that you took the easy way out by reading a bunch of dead aimless pontificators making excuses not to leave their rooms.

I'm noticing a lot of spillover from /b/ today.

>Sagan.
>Dawkins.

Fuck off pseud.

>>8581865
I'd be a pseud if I pretended to know more than I did, but i'm not. I'm saying frame your worldview with defined terms and not professional bullshitting. I don't know of any writers of sciences who've done more for the common person's understanding of the universe around them and their place in it. Certainly no philosopher on your list, that's for goddamn sure.

>>8581865
See OP, this is roughly what i'm talking about. Anon here isn't very capable of constructing real arguments that would stand up against the levels of scrutiny that someone more oriented in the sciences would be perfectly at home in. Anon here could probably tell you about the gnostics all day and how the ideological themes made their way through the christians and all the way to jung and chomsky and how we've been recycling the same symbols for millennia. And he would almost be right, except he's living a self-fulfilling prophecy. He buries himself in ambiguous and interchangeable terminologies which would apply loosely to anything but directly to nothing, and watches dead bullshitters throw that language at the nature-nurture line until one or another of the readers' philosophical or theological predispositions gets validated. Then he learns a thousand ways to talk about his little belief, and zero ways to question it and he doesn't grow or change or become more satisfied with his sense of his own place in the world (Which is roughly what you want, right OP?) because he's actually learned nothing substantial.
