books that make you believe a different world is posible and give you hope.I know BAP gets shitted on here constantly but there is a certain optimism and fire that I can't find in other political thinkers, I want more books or authors like this.Political affiliations dont matter as long as they are radical or against the status quo.

He's solved his country's crime problem in a few years and now potentially created a new industry for his people out of thin air. A few years ago you couldn't go at after dark in this country, period.

Are there any works of literature and philosophy that take the supernatural and the miraculous seriously that aren't either Christian (or generally religious) or esoteric/occult/traditionalist?I'd be interested to know if anybody's ever tried to sit down and write about supernatural phenomena in a way that isn't attached to a broader philosophical and religious system, but that also doesn't dismiss it all out of hand.
>>24143511Kant, Schopenhauer and Jung
>>24143511Pedro Paramo and all it spawned
>>24143511The only thing that comes to mind is the Varieties of Religious Experience by William James, but I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what you even mean when you say "isn't attached to a broader philosophical and religious system". Nothing exists in a vacuum. Even James's pragmatism is in a tradition and a conversation. There are a few books of the paranormal that are mostly just cataloguing but they aren't very satisfying, because as it turns out, its hard to write about things like ghosts without having questions about souls, or miracles without God, and so on. Every phenomenon requires a condition that facilitates our experiencing it as the thing that it is. Even the most even-handed treatment of this sort of thing to exist, which is probably Charles Fort, requires a sort of Hegelian approach to reality that allows him to take these phenomena seriously as a brute fact without needing any one specific explanation for each.
>>24143511They Flew, by Carlos EireHe is Catholic, but it is a neutral book
>>24143511Isn't that just magical realism.Anyways, I guess Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling would fit your needs.
Any fiction that justifies rape in a literary nabokov fashion
>>24143393I'm not looking for something that happens once or at the end, i'm going for something that tries to hide the act in literary language in such a way that has people wondering whether literal rape happened or whether we are talking about raping a country, etc
>>24143747>he fell for the Phoebe meme
you what?

>>24140959No, in this painting, the School of Athens, Michelangelo is sitting near a block of marble, as he was a sculptor, leaning on his hands, pensive. He represents Eraclitus. pic relatedThe man on the right, in your picture, is Bastiano da Sangallo, whose nickname was Aristotìle, hence he was picked to represent Aristotle. He was an excellent architect and he worked on St. Peter in Rome, a contemporary of Raffaello, the author of this affresco.
>>24140971impossible mexicans dont have heads unless they were some sort of batellian acephalic academy
>>24140900Why did Aristoteles become Aristotle in the English language? I assume because of one drunk monk who copied the name wrong.
>>24144552>why is English wrong>buckfastPlausible
Apparently this book influenced a couple of serial killers. Is it any good?
i still don't get it how catcher in the rye inspired someone to kill john lennon.
>>24143860Have you ever listened to The Beatles?
>>24143860A good cup of coffee probably inspired him too. Who cares?
I’ve read it, and it’s good. It’s pretty cool to see where a lot of modern thrillers got their inspiration. This book never goes off the rails or tries to be edgy, which is the reason why I can’t get through a lot of modern thrillers
It's hilarious at times. It's a proto-incel and proto-arthoe locking horns in a locked basement, and some of the lines are prescient to a spooky extent: there's one scene i can't read as seriously anymore because i crack up where he's trying to ask his captive arthoe to pose for pictures and she's like, omg pornographer!, and he's insulted for both of them because if he wanted a girl to make porn with, he'd be in london It is one of his more straightforward books like anon said, and there's a 60s movie adaptation which is good but not wholly accurate, it's definitely worth reading because written down the two POVs are like every incel/arthoe meme condensed into a British novel.
i spend more time organizing my books than reading them, how do i stop being autistic

I don't give a shit. I work 70 hours a week for nothing after expenses. What I would give to have such nothingburger problems like playing heckin house with organizing bookerinos and then bitching about having the luxury of having the time to have done that instead of read. Guess what? I haven't read a book in 10 years or more. I won't read ever again either.
ereader has a "sort by" function.
>>24143974>70 hours a week for nothing after expensesThat's your problem
And what does this say of our nature? The louder it is, the more natural you ride the wave of sound as it comes in our ears. If our ears weren't so primitive we'd seemingly be riding the real live sequence of onezenzeroes right as each switch is flicked. I paddle up to the wave head on to practice for this style of surf. And then I remember AI's ability to incrementally increase the volume played into our ears without our awareness of its increasing, and how loud can it really before our surfing becomes part of the wave itself, or has this already happened, long ago? A thought popped in my mind earlier which hinted that I should keep in my mind what I value so that I won’t forget. And so I keep in mind AI with hopes to exist in the future as memory, unknowing of what else that’s left to hope. 33
>Insults Zeus>Punished in Christian hell for blasphemy??What did Dante mean by this?
>>24143881Don't be arrogant, bellicose, or imprudent. While it's technically a pagan deity that he blasphemed directly, it still has the vicious quality that separated Capaneus from the Good.
never read it and not religious but maybe the idea is that his intention to spite the true god and had he known the christian god he would have insulted him, too.
>>24143881Dante was literally pagan. many of his "poems" are literal prayers to gods.
>>24144423Only when the tradcaths of /lit/ realize this will they begin to heal.
>spend teenage years reading memes about how Kant is a crypto-atheist and Hegel is, like, some kind of evil german wizard >actually read them as an adult>mfw realizing Kant was a crypto-sorcerer and Hegel was a realist and pragmatist all alongWhat the fuck. Can we have a thread to discuss the relationship between these two and their thought?
>>24140431>>24140193>>24140139Have you read any Peirce?
>>24142136Not yet, I have a friend who’s really into him though. Why, what’s the relevance here? Spoon feed me I have enough to read right now.
>>24138793Can’t pirate that, recommend me something else.
>>24142822The whole I and not-I thing from Fichte parallels really well with Peirce's categories. Summarizing it would probably not do it justice so just take a note somewhere and read him when you're ready.

Could it be that the interested in the US elections at the stake of winning a political government employee position have been doing more than just sneaky unjust or unfair TV work for it? If the people's interest in the foreign policies of non constituent governments are discussed and seen in the light of metropolitan courts then the 19th, 20th, and recent 21st century years would show that the Obstruction to the works of labor practices have been A result of malign Worldy interests. I believe that the literature of not just academic history but also literary fiction and Science fiction and comparable works such as popular horror fiction novels can be used to Quickly explain the correspondence and certainly show that the logic of the power relationships to reality and Society; such as elections, therefore have a nonmediated aspect and nature that has resulted in unfiltered Nonliterary traditions and "self-help" books corrupt the economic landscape for thousands of years worldwide.
