would hegel approve of this?
>>25174329no
>>25174329It's an oversimplification of Hegel's dialectics. NO he would not approve.
it's a massive oversimplification of what he said, and the more you read of Hegel, the more you realise that the dialectical method really isn't anything magical or frankly that mind blowing, he never really presents it as such. The fact that he doesn't himself use the terms presented in the diagram isn't really what is at issue, it's that there's a lot more to Hegel's philosophy than this schema. Really the dialectical method is not, in my view, really that different from the sort of method you use in a real life dialectic, like a philosophical conversation or argument.That being said, a sort of meme understanding of Hegel is I guess better than none at all to start from. If you want a really good book on Hegel that you can probably understand without having read Kant, check out Terry Pinkard's 'Hegel's Phenomenology: The Sociality of Reason' Actually pg. 12 of the white Cambridge edition has a really good explanation of the dialectic as it applies to history. There's lots of really clear books written on Hegel besides this. Robert Pippin's 1989 book 'Hegel's Idealism' is also very very good and pretty comprehensible without being an expert.
>>25174378>>25175327its not even Hegel, its Fichte technically.
Man, who cares.
what does the next 10,000 years of writing look like?let's assume that humans don't go extinct or become 100% robots but continue more or less as they are, writing stories, poems, essays, etc.what will happen to all the stories that pile up over time, the trillions and quadrillions of stories, 99.99999% of them generated by AI?
>>25173900based, fuck writers.
>>25173523Bold assumption, OP
>>25175481you don't want to even contemplate the thought experiment because it frightens you more than extinction. you are weak.
>>25175484I can entertain it, just believe its unlikely. What will happen to them? Nothing. Idk what you mean. If the internets storage capacity allows for it, they'll exist online. If not, then many will be lost, deleted. What else would be the case
>>25173523It doesn't matter.
Despite being a tatted up feminist whore, she still had 3 kids.Does lit attract the best people?
>>25171996I agree. BPD is just a fig leaf for bitches being crazy.
>>25171894She's raising a family and you're not.What does that say about YOUR life?
>>25171894Nothing epitomises the decline of western civilisation better than academics with tattoos.
>>25171944Thousand yard cock stare
>>25171894>Despite being a tatted up feminist whore, she still had 3 kids.How are these related? The quality of this board is abysmal. Fuck me, I should find a local book club because there's no substance here. Nothing except banal ragebaiting
What is the endgame? Understanding self and the world? Has it helped you in your life in any way?How do you decide who to read after the obvious candidates, like maybe the Greeks? Is there a point where you can definitely say, before this philosophy was about real knowledge, after this it's been all logic chopping and academic fart sniffing and 'umm akshuallys' by 'philosophers' who just want papers in their name? I want to into philosophy but the sheer volume of philosophy there makes me question whether I can really pick and choose and absorb the good parts of it and whether it is all worth it in the end.

Op, the fact that you're unwilling to even try yourself with a randomly chosen text suggests it might not be for you. Go find something that interests you personally rather than something you think you should be interested in.
>>25164183The only purpose of philosophy is the ability to think in terms of a holistic system of argument, instead of linearly. Instead of, x follows from y; identifying axioms instantly, and seeing the entire network. Past that, its a lot of crap.
I like being right and btfo'ing retards with FACTS and LOGIC

>>25174674If you "read" by transverbalizing into English and understanding that you may never learn to actually understand the Greek text itself.

>>25175105It just means he’s intrinsically eternal in either direction temporally (or above time itself), from eternity backwards to eternity forwards in time. I think.>>25173632This book has one of the things I dislike about a lot of colloquia which is that all the “colloquial” latin is just subordinated to reading Cicero anyways. Like it’s just a big methodological knife-fight over how to get students to end up ultimately just doing grammar-translation on Cicero anyways (which is still absolutely a worthwhile endeavor and all). However much shit people talk about Traupman’s Conversational Latin, at least he had the vision to instruct with oral proficiency itself as the goal rather than just teaching “fake easy latin” solely as some exercise to prep to read the same 3-5 authors.
I recommended reading the Iliad to my girlfriend and she didn't get the message about love compassion forgiveness and letting go of grudges she thinks the message is about how hot Achilles is Why are women like this?
>>25173720Can you name one example?
>>25173716>she didn't get the message about love compassion forgiveness and letting go of grudgesWhat? Where on earth are you getting this reading from?

When I read Gravity's Rainbow, I like to imagine Tyrone Slothrop as a black man (which is easy since his first name is Tyrone). It's pretty funny because then it becomes the story of a jacked black dude from America rampaging around Europe sleeping with their white women. A sort of reverse colonization which I think would make Pynchon proud.
>>25171972At what point is it no long the white man's fault and they have to take responsibility for their situation?
>>25171972I’ve heard these Tarantino/Pynchon comparisons before. Enough that it’s noticeable.
>>25166785weird psyop to discount Pynchon lately. wonder why, i need to read Shadow Ticket and find out what the overlords are mad about now
>>25173752They’re both really good at dialogue.
>>25173757Good idea. I'll do that, too. Let's report back here with what we find.
How men's live are a series of existential horrors while females live in a constant state of bliss and earthly pleasure
>>25174641No traditional women, promised family, home, stability then no worth in being a traditional man.

I'm always going to side with pussy over another dude. Only an unironic fag wouldn't.
>>25175397We know, nigger. It's the way all normalfaggots are. Now for the big question, who the fuck asked you?
>>25175446I'll bet I could whoop your ass in real life, fag.
>>25173307>Dialogue is usually identified by use of quotation marks and a dialogue tag, such as "she said".
>>25173311Don’t come at me
>>25173047No, that's such an unnatural way of reading.
I read "the postman always rings twice" recently and James M. Cain just puts all the dialogue in quotes and lets you figure out who's talking.No "he/she adverbed". It's great. Wish that was the standard.
>>25173047i just read the whole book

So...I finished my last book yesterday, and the one I had ordered to replace it has not even been printed yet (I blame it on the jews).I have 3 unread books in my house. Convince me on which one I should read.>Faust (Goethe)>On the Genealogy of Morality (Nietzsche)>Meditations (Marcus Aurelius)
you know in England, 'can I have one of your cigarettes?' is 'can I bum a fag?'
>>25175345Glad I learned this.>>25175343Why read it last?>>25175344What is BGE?
>>25175351BGE is Nietzsche's other major work, Beyond Good and Evil. Those two books taken together represent the main substance of his philosophy.
>>25175398Nietzsche was not a philosopher.
>>25175351>Why read it last?because you should always save the best for last

>>25174612What’s the most accurate here? Ah, a rhetorical question of course.

How in the hell do you come up with a pen name? This is driving me nuts!

Choose a simple first name and a complex last name. Stephen Daedalus, for example.

Which country/region of Europe has the best modern literature? I think it may be France + Poland.
>>25175252>i can only think of english lit ergo it is bestcome on buddy keep it real. People can name Houellebecq but not a single Brit
>>25175254JRR Tolkien
>>25175282I mean modern in the sense of "contemporary", i.e. 2000+ and still alive
>>25175254>Houellebecq>tedious chudshitPeople can name Nick Land as well. Who gives a fuck?
>>25175300I guess basically just France. Even Limonov has died
I honestly felt betrayed to learn Mishima was a Jap
