Hey /lit/ are there any books that argue against this mindset?

there can't be good arguments against the truth, so none.

All you need to know is that anyone willing to put effort into writing down such arguments is acting in bad faith essentially.

Try The Last Superstition by Edward Feser and Everlasting Man by G. K. Chesterton.

Basically every good sacred text ever written deals with the question of how to take life seriously and give it meaning and purpose - or, in another sense, how to get rid of stupid/trivial meanings and just think clearly. In a sense it kind of depends on how you want to live.

In the end though there's no compatibility between the cynical life and a life of virtue. People tend to sneer at the idea of virtue though...

I'll be sure to pick up The Everlasting Man, thanks!

The possessed by Dostoevsky is kind of like that, its an amazing book besides. It deals with the adverse effects of nihilism, socialism, and atheism. plus fun Russian drama.

Anything by a Christian mystic, because of course their whole thing is that there's more to reality than the physical/material.

all you need to know is you and I are very smart for having such mindsets OP

lets all congratulate ourselves :)

I'm actually reading it right now, altough i feel like Pyotr Stepanovich is too much of a straw man-like character for my taste. Maybe there will be some more substance to his character later on.

if you say so, friendo :)

Ha, nope. Pyort is a socialist piece of shit the whole time, his plan gets more interesting though, and all the characters around him develop allot and put forth some of the best stuff in the book.

Read German philosophy, Idealism from Leibniz through Kant and Hegel to Nietzsche is a good way to dispel Anglo-empirical nihilsim

>start with the greeks
and just go from there, to get a better grasp on the european philosophy as a whole
