I can only take so much of this before growing weary.

c.g. Stein's Objects

>implying this a bad thing
Whats wrong with testing the foundation of ethics? It only strengthens it in the end. It did lead to a lot of bad philosophies (social constructionism and post modernism), but thats exactly what Nietzsche was trying to avoid. He completely changed philosophy forever, for better and worse

Not saying it's a bad thing at all; I just didn't like it.

I take a lot of classes in ethics/value theory and these pseudo-Neitzcheans are obnoxious.

>Gargantua and Pantagruel
i have this book but kinda afraid that i will not understand references. What are prerequisite philosophical readings?

>>8779497
Just an example of something that gets very tiresome after a while. I mean, the entire section on Spirit in The Phenomenology is really intriguing initially, like Gertrude Stein's Objects, but its repetitive nature makes it insufferable after a bit.

Perhaps I just don't like his writing.

You'll be fine if you just pick up an edition with footnotes. Most of the references aren't philosophical but rather historical

Oh I see, yes it's very convoluted sometimes. His Logic is much clearer.

what is c.g.?

>>8779539
It's just a way of pointing to something else. T. S. Elliot likes to use it, so does my old modernism professor.

It's basically a lazy, ambiguous way of directing attention to something similar or a source.

>>8779566
but what does it stand for?, I googled it and it doesn't exist

sure you don't mean cf.?
