Any good books that refute Zizek's metaphysical system?
>>24716432a non retarded reading of hegel's logic and phenomenology
>>24716432How do people find targeted thorough refutations of any philosophical system?Some one can go>UNREFUTEDto any big name philosopher I can think of and its true because I am not really aware of much systematic works of refutation. Someone who would be interested in doing that would instead make their own system.
>>24716432Its piecemeal but I heard pilleater has done it
>>24716432Fashionable Nonsense though it doesn't refute zizek specifically.
>>24716432YesZizek's
What do we think of "La Comédie humaine"?As a social retard, I need to learn. I got no empathy but I'm too much of a retard to be a machiavellian dude
idk but balzac sounds like ballsack LMAO
>>24717131>La Comédie humaineI don't think there's one anon here that has read through all of it. Maybe that one Balzac anon.One has to applaud the author, truly one of the greats
>>24717226Of course nobody does, but I'm pretty sure lots of people in here read at least part of La Vie Parisienne.I enjoyed Illusions Perdues, as sad as it is.
>>24717230I have only finished Eugenie Grandet and Pere Goriot myself. Both works are greats in their own right, but I feel inclined to prefer the former. I specially like his reflective tone on changing social structures. It makes one think about how much this world has changed since the 18th-19th century bourgeoisie paradigm shift

>>24716246It’s a forgivable misreading, this is exactly why Fichte abandoned the method of the three foundational principles, because it suggests this primitive is/ought dualism. But Hegel didn’t know the lectures and Fichte was too buttblasted by the atheism controversy to publish them. You could read the whole Nova Methodo lectures as a retroactive response to this. Tl;dr - being-for-one is the noumenal self in Nova Methodo, it is not in time, the infinite progress does not exist for it as such. We of course phenomenally experience infinite progress and Hegel does not dispute this.

>>24716232I don't mind having theoretical framework debates but just posting twitter screencaps of Nick Land's insults and Schopenhauer's insults doesn't really constitute buck breaking charlatans. If Land is still sticking with Leotard then he's still within Marxist bounds. If he's departed from Marx but still using it then he basically has to accept he doesn't have any idealistic merit and has to agree with Nietzsche or Schope and has fragged his own truth claims, he still might have a materialistic case but given all I see are insults my guess is he's just citing magic and gnosis. No offense to gnostics. So does he have some sort of proof beyond that he doesn't want to do dialectic and is welcome to believe whatever he wants?

>>24715383Poṭṭhapāda Sutta (DN 9) >“Poṭṭhapāda, it’s as if a man were to say, ‘I’m in love with the most beautiful woman in this country,’ and other people were to say to him, ‘Well, my good man, this most beautiful woman in this country with whom you are in love: do you know if she’s of the warrior caste, the brahman caste, the merchant caste, or the laborer caste?’ and, when asked this, he would say, ‘No.’ Then they would say to him, ‘Well then, do you know her name or clan name? Whether she’s tall, short, or of medium height? Whether she’s dark, fair, or ruddy-skinned? Do you know what village or town or city she’s from?’ When asked this, he would say, ‘No.’ Then they would say to him, ‘So you’ve never known or seen the woman you’re in love with?’ When asked this, he would say, ‘Yes.’>“So what do you think, Poṭṭhapāda? When this is the case, don’t the words of that man turn out to be unconvincing?”

"In the fourth case, owing to what, with reference to what, are some honorable recluses and brahmins eternalists in regard to some things and non-eternalists in regard to other things, proclaiming the self and the world to be partly eternal and partly non-eternal?"Herein, bhikkhus, recluse or a certain brahmin is a rationalist, an investigator. He declares his view — hammered out by reason, deduced from his investigations, following his own flight of thought — thus: 'That which is called "the eye," "the ear," "the nose," "the tongue," and "the body" — that self is impermanent, unstable, non-eternal, subject to change. But that which is called "mind" (citta) or "mentality" (mano) or "consciousness" (viññāṇa) — that self is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change, and it will remain the same just like eternity itself.'"This, bhikkhus, is the fourth case.50. "It is on these four grounds, bhikkhus, that those recluses and brahmins who are partial-eternalists proclaim the self and the world to be partly eternal and partly non-eternal. Whatever recluses and brahmins there may be who proclaim the self and the world to be partly eternal and partly non-eternal, all of them do so on these four grounds or on a certain one of them. Outside of these there is none.51. "This, bhikkhus, the Tathāgata understands. And he understands: 'These standpoints, thus assumed and thus misapprehended, lead to such a future destination, to such a state in the world beyond.' He understands as well what transcends this, yet even that understanding he does not misapprehend. And because he is free from misapprehension, he has realized within himself the state of perfect peace. Having understood as they really are the origin and the passing away of feelings, their satisfaction, their unsatisfactoriness, and the escape from them, the Tathāgata, bhikkhus, is emancipated through non-clinging.
OP thinks he can get there by trying...that's still desireHe doesn't know. lolYou need to give up. Give up what you ask? everything
how do you read the bible?do you just read it in order as if it were a novel? or there are better ways?
>>24716167Obviously I don't read the books in a day. I typically read about 1-3 chapters per day.
>>24711239You read it as a silly, alien, decadent Jewish byproduct.
>>24716831Sad he fell off in his later years
>>24711575They're not long at all. Some of them really do drag on and on about heritage or cubits but each individual book is shorter than most short-novels you've read
>>24711239The way I read it and they way I learned to love it was to read it alongside real archeological studies on the areas and anthropology in the bronze and iron age Canaan, Egypt and Midian. You'll then realized a lot of these stories are historical accounts simplified(and transformed into simple oral traditions. Figuring out these puzzles is the fun here to me.The bible is the ultimate unreliable-author book.

I've ranged up and down these boards, but when I ask myself what is the most needless thread on 4chan, my mind always recurs to /wg/. There really is no point. All posters know it too. That's why it's so seldom used. There hangs about it the air of dead dreams. It becomes a perverse talisman to all the /lit/ posters who didn't quit their day job. Look at the distasteful silence that howls down these threads. It's only broken by the same two voices batting their word counts back and forth, as though any formless mass of writing is fit to print. Most writers sweat blood to reach 1000 publishable words. Your daily 1000, written to no purpose, would require a gift of unerring judgement to equal theirs. And, let's be honest, if you did possess such a gift, would 4chan be the first place you boast about it?
chatGPT polemics against the /wg/. an unexpected swerve for the board.

In response to the pastoral letter from the Dutch bishops on 26 July 1942, in which they made the treatment of the Jews by the Nazis a central theme, all baptized Catholics of Jewish origin (according to police reports, 244 people) were arrested by the Gestapo on the following Sunday, 2 August 1942.

Is her Alexander trilogy good? I’ve been considering reading it because I’m on a historical fiction set in antiquity kick, but I’m worried it’ll just be purely about Alexander getting dicked down. I’m okay with a little gay shit, but I’m not interested in a full blown gay romance trilogy.

To Kill A Mockingbird should be banned from all public schools.
>>24713240Under the torture of the rack could you not draw that kind of confession out of me. What compels people to tell on themselves like this?
>>24713165And to mock rape victims, to say that white women want to be raped. This is a huge constant in the left. The only equivalent on the right is Ayn Rand.
>>24714341The true story that inspires the book: victim was white with a messed up arm and the people who killed him were black.
>>24714042By "Frank's murder" do you mean "the murder that Frank committed" or do you mean "the murder of Leo Frank"?
>>24713491Anyone who has actually read To Kill A Mockingbird will tell you that it's boring and bland. There's nothing there to criticize or provoke in it. There's barely any artfulness to it at all, same with Fahrenheit 451. The Outsiders has 50x more soul and art than both of those books combined and it's a young adult novel written by a teenage girl.
Who is your favorite writer who did not with the Nobel Prize for Literature?

>>24715190Shakespeare
Sartre
>>24715190Fun question. I think either James or Borges. Just noticed Joyce never won one, so Joyce. Suppose the really interesting modernists didn't start getting nobels until the 1940s Waiting out captcha: Nabokov didn't win either? I'll stick w/ Joyce.

Does anyone else find the works of the Gawain/Pearl poet to be deeply moving? I'm not a Christian but his characters feel very realistic and heartfelt.
I've read Tolkien's translations of those poems plus Sir Orfeo. Pearl is a legitimately beautiful poem, especially once you think about its conceit: a daughter who died as an infant returning to comfort her father by showing him a vision of Heaven, where she is.Not to mention the poetic description of the heavenly Jerusalem is incredible.
>>24714975>>24714998I personally found the prose to be excessive for my taste. I also think I read the Tolkien translation.IMO I much prefer the older french romances of the likes if Chretian de Troyes from the 1100's. Stuff like Yvain and Lancelot. They are more terse but still lively, it struck a more enjoyable balance between plain speak and high words i believe. But to be fair they are not directly comparable, Gawain is much more of a poem while Chretien's work is more of a narrative.
I like sir gawain a lot, haven't read the other works. Have you seen the green knight movie? I find it very interesting
