Do you have any philosophy that you consider to be "beautiful"?

I just love "Leviathan" by Thomas Hobbes to good.
But I think I am more into Norberto Bobbio.

Care to share any excerpts that you enjoy in particular? The Leviathan is a pretty weighty tome

It's like reading a retarded Shakespeare who learnt punctuation from the Romans.

Sorry m8, I don't realy know them by heart.
Leviathan is pretty weighty when you first start I would say. After a while I found it more easier to read, tho I adimit some parts are pretty dry and boring from time to time (I think that's because it was the way people wrote it at the time).

That's fine dude. What I find best is that if anything comes to mind, just pop what you've got into Google and look around. I can usually find most quote sources that way at least

I usualy don't realy get everything by heart, unless it realy hit me hard (like I read some of Malatesta letters compiled into a small book and it realy got me to change my mind after some self-criticism), and even so, is very hard for me to find me quoting unless is for a work or something that I read it at the time and found it to great to don't quote somewhere.
But thanks to the internet now-a-days, we don't need to keep scanning tomes of 1k pages and so on anymore to find the quotes we need.

Witnessing how Spinoza's Ethics progresses was probably one of the best reading experiences of 2017 for me

Fucking this. Ethics is one of the most beautiful works to exist.

Stoicism, regardless of author.
Not for form or highly intellectual concepts.
It's not as high brow as other philosophies, but it has a bare aesthetic I find appeasing.
It's the simplicity and pragmatism, the way it forms a comprehensive way of living and looking at the world I find beautiful, like the simple beauty of a perfect circle compared to the elaborate beauty of a cathedral's arch.

Unironically Nietzsche.

I find all Spinoza (what little there is) pleasant.
Off the beaten path, enjoyed Santyana's Scepticism and Animal Faith. He's generally a beautiful writer, although his Aesthetics is drier than dust.
