Philosophy and Political books

>>128610531
Don't read Thus spoke Zarathustra unless you have already read some of Nietzsche's other books. It makes less sense and is one of the more difficult books to interpret without proper context of the rest of Nietzsche's thought process.

>>128612041
which books then?

>>128612198
Well, have you read any of Nietzsche's other works?
I think the best two to start off with in terms of Nietzsche are Beyond Good and Evil and The Genealogy of Morality

>>128612756
no i havent

>>128612857
Then as I say, The Genealogy of Morality and Beyond Good and Evil are the best places to start. But you have to make sure that you aren't misinterpreting Nietzsche when you read them. Most people end up misinterpreting him in some way or another and come to conclusions about what he thought when he thinks the complete opposite.

why?

>>Thus spoke Zarathustra
>>128610531
This. in fact don't bother reading neitzsche or anyone from the 17-19th centuries unless you understand classical greek philosophy. why? nietzsche's background is a greek philologist and his thought comes from critically looking at greek philosophy. actually nietzsche's thought is built on all philosophy right up to schopenhauer. in academia they dont offer intro to philosophy courses about nietzsche. they start you on the ancient greeks because that is the foundation. starting with neitzsche is like listening to metallica but you never heard of black sabbath. like listening to the misfits or the adolescents but never heard of the ramones

I support this. might not be the most exciting reads but how can anyone think their political opinions should be taken serious if they haven't read these books?

Read Beyond Good and Evil, then read this. Goonan takes Nietzsche's understanding of nihilism and the will to power and takes it a step further with what he calls "the duality of human nature" in which people can act either destructively or in "the way of building".

>The Republic
>The Prince
>Thus Spake Zarathustra
these are all great - for philosophy, you only really need read the republic.

>Das Kapital
quite a slog if you can be bothered. - I couldnt

>Mein Kampf
I hear from pol its necessary reading although he was no author.

The rest I dont know of. Avoid pop-culture trash and stick to the classics.

It's Falun Gong spiritual practice main teaching.

This is a meme. It's not an actual book worth reading. It gets posed as a joke and has like 5 amazon reviews or something like that.

Copy and paste any one of these lines below into the URL bar like its a www.whatever.com address and wait for it to load and then you can down load any individual book to read or any one of the folders on the left, but you can't download all the folders in one go:

Ridding myself of ideology and resetting helped me develop a better political perception, these books listed made a huge impact in how I considered the world, they are in no particular order and I can recommend them all.

>>Das Kapital

Useless if you don't understand Hegel or Adam Smith's Wealth of nations

the definitions are different - even the term "wage" takes on an archaic Hegelian meaning in Das Kapital, pick up Marxism by Thomas Sowell instead, or as a Primer. In which he who wrote a Master's thesis on Marx explains Marxism without attacking it.

Also Das Kapital is kind of useless in general, as relatively few Marxists have actually read it and even fewer have understood it. Most of them have had it explained to them through derivative literature (other writers who have varying opinions on, and levels of understanding of the text) by pseudomarxist, left-liberal professors. So it does not make for good debate material unless you want to fake being a Marxist with some Epigrams and Buzzwords.

Pic related, Marx once claimed that an example of working Socialism in nature was an ant colony.

>The Virtue of Selfishness

Only the Branden's essays are good to be honest with you my dude

Yes I got it, thank you so much! It would take more than a lifetime to read all of this.

>>128626023
cool cool. Yeah there's a fair few. I use Spritz speed reader to read them:

http://www.spritzlet.com/

drag the button to your tool bar and click on it to speed read any webpage or .pdf. Theres some books in there in French and many other languages

>>128625445
Seems like a good advice, anon. I will take it.

>>128626640
Doesn't speed reading prevent you from really digesting what's being said? How fast do you set it for?

>>128624785
That's what I thought a while ago when I first saw it on pol, but it's not true, actually an amazing read.

>>128610531
>Das Kapital

>Economics in One Lesson

>The Law

>>128627737
yeah sometimes - it depends on the author or topic. I prefer to read actual physical books, but if I have to read off a computer screen I like the speed reader apps.
I worked my way up to 450 wpm - you get used to it so it doesn't really seem that fast anymore.
If you want to go faster you have to buy it.

>>128625445

I should add The Ego and His Own recently was re-translated by some lefty anarchy dude, I haven't read it yet and can't verify how different it is from the original English translations and I don't know German so... :(
