Books that just weren’t for you. Don’t be ashamed. The premise of this one sounded great, and I enjoyed some of the backpacking and hostel stay stories but it’s so dry and full of architecture descriptions and references to other high brow European shit that its a slog for me. I’m like 90 pages from the end but I most likely won’t be reading the rest of the series. Not a fault of the book at all, not afraid to say that I’m probably not worldly or intelligent enough to fully appreciate this book as a non-college educated blue collar/middle class genuine mutt American. What are your’s?
I got 3 pages in
G K Chesterton I got through The Man Who Knew Too Much fine without hating itThen I read The Man Who Was Thursday and by the end I was hating it but managed to finish because it is pretty shortThen I gave him one more chance with Manalive but dropped it in the first chapter and never read Chesterton again.
>>25385984I wouldn't say it "filtered" me in the sense that I struggled to understand it or the deeper meaning and context, but I thought picrel was a nasty, pointless book about horrible people, with dubious literary value. Didn't enjoy reading it at any point. Big E did some good writing, but not in The Sun Also Rises.
>>25385984For me, it's War & Peace. I'm all for dense, difficult books, Gravity's Rainbow is my favourite prose work, but something about having to remember dozens of characters, their relations and nicknames, all from a foreign country, just fucks me up. And it doesn't help that I find the prose style dull. I had the same problem with Dreams of the Red Chamber, though at least I enjoyed the writing in this one.

>>25386162I think it essentially just boils down to verifying things, and asking yourself if there might be other explanations. Most people who have incorrect opinions, left or right, have them because they accepted what they were told without really looking into it. Yeah the sources can lie too, but it gets harder to keep a lie together the more sources you need to draw on because the origin of them gets broader. Look for sources that are rooted in reality rather than opinion.Learn some typical biases as well. I don't mean racial, sexual, other identity biases or whatever. More general ones that don't have a political position, like confirmation bias. Every political side does that all the time.I guess understanding as well that reality may not fit into neat polar ideologies. Also, that recent events are not the be all end all of who "wins". There's local variance rather than a continuous one way stream of who is "in the right".

See you tomorrow.>pic>There is no quality content here you cannot get more quickly and efficiently elsewhere.I wish this were true, but as far as I know, it is not.Did the poster in your image ever specify where this better "elsewhere" is?

Post and discussion about any type of history book.>Vengeance: The Last Stands of Custer, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull by Tom Clavin>On June 25–26, 1876, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand, was fought between combined forces of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. Along the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory, the battle resulted in the devastating defeat of U.S. forces and was the most significant action of the Great Sioux War of 1876.https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/240019835-vengeancehttps://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-the-Little-Bighornhttps://www.worldhistory.org/George_Armstrong_CusterPrevious thread: >>25234505

its kinda *the* book on reconstruction, the writing is really well done so the ~600 pages just breeze by. i recommend it to anyone and everyone interested in the topic. some of his other books are also great, like 'The Second Founding' which is about the legal transformations of the reconstruction amendments
The Color of Law is another great book if you're interested in the functions of local governments and lower level policy, the history of modern segregation, the housing crisis, and racism in america. very interesting companion to reading on reconstruction and for just understanding how modern american society came to be

Black silk of crow feathers cloaks her pale brow.Like rain-soaked ravens upon fallen snow.Through the tangled thick brush of her fallen hair,Gleams a single wild eye like a wolf in its lair.A rare emerald spark in a valley of stone,Fixing its gaze till you find you're alone.But winter took root where her lone eye would gleam,Where the lace kissed her cheek as all color was lost.Her fingers are roots of a ghost-white birch tree.Weathered by seasons the sun never knew.They curl like the claws of a slumbering hawk.Tightening softly lest petals should break.Comment too long.

I've been reading historic and heterodox economists for a while out of curiosity and I've finished recently Marx's Capital. I was expecting to find some sort of philosophy, whether about labor or materialism, but all there was was sociology, historical analysis and (flawed) economics.Hence, what exactly is Marx's philosophy ? There's no mention of dialectical materialism in the Capital and the only mentions I could find of it online coming from direct sources are Engel's "dialectics of nature", which is just an unfinished work. Is it even proper to speak of "philosophy" when there's so little ?
>>25386546marx makes a lot more sense as a confucian than as a hegelian or a calvinist or whatever
>>25385034>I've skimmed a bit through it and it seems like it's reconstituting some materialist ontology to argue marxism from ? It explains dialectical materialism but I don't see how it extracts this system from Marx himself. It looks more like an ad-hoc attempt at systematizing a broader framework to argue from.It's a soviet textbook, not an argument. Marxist philosophy mostly comes from his earlier work like The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, and Engels work after his death based on his unpublished writing. Althusser actually argues against this "humanist" element of Marx and sees it as something Marx ultimate discarded as not rigorous enough, although most Marxist-Leninists emphasize it enormously to the extent that Lenin believed one could not understand the phenomenology in Capital without reading Hegel's Science of Logic first
>>25378706>what exactly is Marx's philosophy ?Marx's philosophy is bastardized Hegel's philosophy, where "spirit" was crudely replaced with "relationship of production" and such, hence all the "dialectics"-shit was henceforth called "materialist".To understand what Hegel was ranting about, you need to understand what Hermetism was.Check 'Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition' (2001):"To make clear the parallels between these doctrines and Hegel's, here is a preview of what I will be arguing in the rest of this book:1. Hegel holds that God's being involves "creation," the subject matter of his *Philosophy of Nature*. Nature is a moment of God's being.2. Hegel holds that God is in some sense "completed" or actualized through the intellectual activity of mankind: "Philosophy" is the final stage in the actualization of Absolute Spirit. Hegel holds the "circular" conception of God and of the cosmos I referred to earlier, involving God "returning to Himself" and truly becoming God through man.3. Hegel's philosophy is *encyclopedic*: he aims to end philosophy, for all intents and purposes, by capturing the whole of reality in a complete, circular speech.4. Hegel believes that we rise above nature and become masters of our own destiny through the profound gnosis provided by his system.5. Hegel's *Logic* is an attempt to know the aspects or "moments" of God as a system of ideas. In a famous passage of the *Science of Logic*, Hegel states that the Logic "is to be understood as the system of pure reason, as the realm of pure thought. This realm is truth as it is without veil and in its own absolute nature. It can therefore be said that this content is the exposition of God as He is in his eternal essence before the creation of nature and a finite Spirit" (Miller, 50; WL 1, 33-34).6. Hegel's *Phenomenology of Spirit* represents, in the Hegelian system, an initial stage of purification in which the would-be philosopher is purged of false intellectual standpoints so that he might receive the true doctrine of Absolute Knowing (Logic-Nature-Spirit).7. Hegel's account of nature rejects the philosophy of mechanism. He upholds what the followers of Bradley would later call a doctrine of "internal relations," as against the typical, modern mechanistic understanding of things in terms of "external relations."

>>25386546>>25385094>>25385103Maybe my reading of the capital is wrong but Marx's usage of immanent critique within his work seems more like a method of exposition to reconstitute the system rather than a Hegelian move where the immanent critique actually leads to the next negation.For instance, he shows how there are different values within a commodity, how surplus value is extracted etc but it doesn't lead to the negation of capitalism, it just shows how the inner workings function. I know that he treats the falling rate of profit and the recurring crisis of capital as the element that overcomes capitalism, but it lacks the actual element to bridge the event to the emergence of a new system. Think of it this way : in Hegel's work, Reason manifests itself through the cunning of reason and because individuals are described as withholding certain qualities that ensure the negation. The contingency is evacuated early on. In my reading of the capital however, I found no such things. Marx doesn't explain why crisis must entail the next qualitative change, it just shows how the system shits itself every now and then. This is why I was curious as to how he grounded his philosophy, because to me there is a gap from the socio-economic work to the historicist move that each mode of production leads to the next one through stages.

Verum de his desiste; nam audio equidem deos etiam ab amore victos fuisse, et non ignoro qualia ab amore iis etiam hominibus, qui prudentissimi admodum viderentur, acciderint. Atque etiam ipse de me ipso animadverti, ita me continentem non esse, ut si cum formosis una sim, mihi neglectui sint. Quin huius ego tibi rei sum auctor; quippe qui te cum illa re inexpugnabili concluserim.” Et Araspas sermonem suscipiens, “Enimvero tu,” inquit, “Cyre, in his etiam sic te geris, ut in aliis, qui et clemens sis et delictis humanis ignoscas. Me vero ceteri homines moerore obruunt. Nam ex quo rumor de calamitate mea vulgatus est, inimici mihi insultant…”This translation of Xenophon seems way easier to follow in terms of sentence structure than Golden Age Latin. Is this because Greek’s structure tends to be more straightforward? Were Latin translations of Greek the ideal secret intermediate reader set all along?
