Do you know of any good chuddy tradwifey antifeminist type books for ladies?
>>24982159I'm sold
>>24982296Yes, and so what? It's very much not sexualized. I think you're just getting into hysterics over it because you spend too much time on twitter.
>>24981714you sound upset
>>24982313>In Japan, this is normal! NORMAL!!!
>>24982765Again... so what? There's zero sexual content in the story. The lead couple acts more like a pair of siblings than a husband and wife, ffs. By all means, if you want to get worked up into a fit of moral hysteria and claim this is "borderline CP" then don't let me stop you. It's your blood pressure, not mine.

An actual Guénon thread; it's been a while, no?
>>24976451yeah. some retarded janny actually deleted a good post that was made here for absolutely no reason other than only shit-tier ideological i can imagine. hadn't yet downloaded the snapshot unfortunately.
>>24968950>Rene Guenon>PBUH?No, Abdalwahid Yahia PBUH
Guenon is not a philosopher. He does not genuinely engage Islam. Where is his commentary on the Quran? If he even took any effort for a close reading (not just selective and vibez based) he would notice the incongruousness of the Islamic holy texts and the earlier Abrahamic texts. There is no philosophical inquiry done here. It is a religious delusional state which can only be maintained by him so long he is unreasonable. Any serious inquiry, or even a singular moment of philosophy would break the spell of perennialism. Real thinkers like Leo Strauss and Wittgenstein knew the limits of thought and religion by its didactic role. Consequently, no renunciation of the possibility of Truth in them out right, but no delusions to what follows from the premises stated.
>>24981936From the standpoint of traditional metaphysics, this objection rests upon a category error that Guénon himself repeatedly identified as characteristic of the modern mind. To reproach him for not being a “philosopher” in the academic sense, or for not offering a line-by-line commentary on the Qurʾān, is to mistake the nature of his undertaking. Guénon never claimed to practice philosophy understood as an autonomous, discursive inquiry conducted within the limits of individual reason. His work proceeds from a radically different order, that of metaphysical principles known through intellectual intuition and transmitted by orthodox traditions. In this perspective, the Qurʾān is not an object to be anatomized by historical or philological critique, but a symbolic and doctrinal expression of a supra-formal truth whose coherence cannot be judged by external comparison with earlier scriptural forms. Apparent incongruities between revelations are precisely what one should expect once one understands that each orthodox tradition addresses a determinate humanity under particular conditions, while nevertheless deriving from a single principial source. To deny this possibility in advance, while demanding that it conform to modern criteria of “serious inquiry,” is not critique but prejudice.As for the charge of “perennialist delusion,” it merely inverts the true situation. What Guénon exposed, again and again, was the delusion proper to modern philosophy: the belief that reason, severed from any principial knowledge, can judge the totality of the real. Strauss’s prudential esotericism and Wittgenstein’s therapeutic modesty may acknowledge limits, but they remain confined within the horizontal plane of thought and language. Guénon’s renunciation is of an entirely different kind. It is not a renunciation of truth, but of the pretension that truth can be produced or refuted by discursive ingenuity alone. Metaphysics, in the traditional sense, is not broken by “a moment of philosophy”; rather, philosophy dissolves when confronted with principles that transcend its domain. That this appears unreasonable to those who recognize no higher mode of knowledge than dialectic is neither surprising nor decisive. It simply confirms the gulf separating the traditional intellect from the modern mind, a gulf that no appeal to “real thinkers” can bridge so long as first principles themselves remain unexamined.

English is such a shit language. For me the nail in the coffin for English was when I learned that the problem of ambiguity between argument and explanation, where all you have to disambiguate is context, which they talk about in logic books, is not something which is universal in logic, but rather is a problem of English. Other languages don't have this problem. English is a low IQ language. All it's good for is dumbing down the masses.
>>24979465>simpleDefinitely the word for it.
I bet OP is native in German or some equally shit nigger language t. Finnish master race
>>24973489>Study a dead languageNo thanks
>>24965277English is a language of degrees, which its Europoor neighbours lack. And through these degrees we can be as precise or ambiguous as we want to be, while Germanoids or Mediterranoids are caught in their preset phrasing. An excellent example is modal verbs, where an English speaker has an arsenal of choices for the precise meaning he choses to impart like "should", "must", "ought to", "have to", "might", "could", "have to", while most other languages only have the equivalent of "must" or sometimes "have to". ESLs frequently embarrass themselves by telling colleagues they "MUST" do something when that register is not appropriate. English is an exceedingly diplomatic language that requires thinking before you speak which is alien to most other cultures. You'll quickly understand why Britain ruled half the world as colonial viceroys for like 300 years the moment you speak to a German, Spaniard or Dutchman IRL and see how crude their ability to express demands or desires is.

>>24981978Since when does a Wagner fan bemoan hyper-pacifist Christianity? Wagner and Dostoevsky are mirrored spirits, if you like one and not the other it is because you lack the reading comprehension to meaningfully engage with eitherWagner is 1A to Debussy's 1B in music, but Scriabin and Chopin aren't far behind. Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky are obviously not the pinnacles of slavic music>>24981669You are right>>24981949I cannot comprehend why people attempt to judge races on their inability to submit to the structures of other cultures. Spite, sin, virtue, and genius are everywhere and spread across humanity equally. Blacks have never struck me as particularly sadistic, orientals and westerners never as particularly lacking in it, its just white and oriental sadism has institutional support and backing because our society has Eurasian feudal institutions. It is in the white and the asians specific institutional success that we can observe an exemplary capacity for subservience (to their own ugly machines), not virtue or genius or creativity (which we can observe only in the beautiful aspects of their cultures and virtues of their individuals, as it is for the other races). White America - from conception designed to take Rome and Britains helm as the imperial arbiter of world markets - was entirely incapable of producing culture outside of its interactions with Black art. Black Americans, out of their lack of mobility up meaningless American hierarchies, engage primarily with the eternal human actions: cannibalism, religious community, and/or art. Slavs are very similar, no one can deny slavic genius; slavs are clearly the most linguistically talented race and all aspects of their prose and logic have inextricably influenced global culture, the only structure as universalized to human language as slavic logos is English allegory and irony. Slavs are also the only group who have been influential in theoretical (i.e legitimate) science besides the Jew. And yet, they are incapable of economy, incapable of industry, incapable of participating in civic society, and whenever they recreate these Eurasian systems they crumble in a few generations out of neglect. It is because like the Blacks, they haven't evolved their cultures for millennia to subsume the ambitions of a slave class into cog transmogrification for industry, they were thrust in recently to this Eurasian nonsense, and have not had the time to adapt or build and maintain a legitimate sovereignty from it. The machine has moved so fast in fact, that white people can no longer keep up with the subservience and maleability of the Indian and Chinese (their Eurasian structures have been around the longest so no surprise they adapt to its evolution the quickest), why else do they compose all of the skilled positions in the new technologies? Because markets now demand a specialization too bizarrely contorted and narrow sighted for even the lowest European stock.

Hello.I'm the guy who had a few Guénon related servers sometime around 2021 and 2022, period in which I was also making a lot of Guénon threads on /lit/.Does anyone from that period still remember me from /lit/ or from my server? It would be nice if we could get in touch again. My current discord username is luke041654.Anyways, this can be another Guénon thread I guess so post something about his work. :)

László Krasznahorkai, who won this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature, writes in the most asinine way imaginable: without indentations or paragraphs breaks—making every chapter of his novels these bizarre, concrete blocks of text that are intentionally difficult to parse.Why would any author do this except as a way to punish his imagined reader(s)?

What works are similar to his? I’ve already read DOTW and Man and Technics. I’ve heard of Yockey and his Imperium, and of course Toynbee’s A Study of HistoryI’m not even concerned about whether any similar books are correct in their theories. I’m just autistically obsessed with the morphology of history.

>>24982314Ortega y Gasset has some essays that espouse some kind of morphology of history.

I remember 2-3 years ago there was a journal essay on 4chan on the subject of South Korea being a social experiment subject of the US and the Western world. Do any of you guys recall the essay title. Im trying to do some research on the South Korea and its absence of unique arts culture and it obession of getting validated by the west. I am mainly interested on how this type of korean mindset will play out in the future. What should I read?

>>24982644>1 thread>14 (now 15) postsbut that being said, there are far more posts about japan or china
>>24982664this thread is basically >insert random seething about south korea with "what should i read?" added at the end. if you look at other boards like /tv/ and /a/ you can see similar seetheposts.japan and china do get mentioned, but rarely with so much seething. it's pretty funny.
>>24978287South Korea was late to democratization which is the likeliest reason. Hegelian and Confucian influences are common. Master signifier is highly fluid, night of the world is default sceptic position. Elected assembly rejected martial law imposition quickly recently and the state boasts some of the highest suicide rates in the world. Consistent failure to bribe residents to procreate, not as intrusive as Taiwan. Political polarization is equitable or near equitable with western countries. Chosen period was the high point for cultural uniqueness.
