>>23979574Picrel is the edition that I got, though it's rather hard to come by. I only found it because I was looking specifically for the Simrock translation.Recent editions are by Reclam (shit translation, but probably the most easily available edition worldwide) and Deutscher Klassiker Verlag (DKV Taschenbuch), the translation seems lackluster, but still okay for a two-column edition where you will mostly be reading the original anyway.Beyond that, search for "Nibelungenlied zweisprachig" and "Nibelungenlied Mittelhochdeutsch" and filter the results that you get for two-column editions.I am currently reading it, and I started without knowing very much about Middle High German. By now, I can read it somewhat fluently, but German is also my native tongue, so it's probably a bit more difficult if it's not. A good introduction to the basics of the grammar is [1], but a lot of that is easy to figure out as you go. I mostly looked up the grammar after I started noticing that there was something weird going on (especially negations were very weird and often ambiguous in MHG).[1] www DOT ds DOT uzh DOT ch SLASH dam SLASH jcr:99ec6638-396b-41b5-af0a-f26753e93766 SLASH 89 DOT pdf

Natural or legitimate magic was, together with all other knowledge, a gift from God to Adam, who by peopling the world handed it down to posterity. This, as Psellus (De Daemonibus) and Proclus (De Magia) have noted, is no more than a more exact knowledge of the secrets of Nature, which by observing the courses and influence of the stars in the heavens, and the sympathies and antipathies subsisting between separate things, compares one thing with another and so effects marvels which to the ignorant seem to be miracles or illusions...Now thaumaturgy and natural magic are in themselves good and lawful, as any art is of itself good. But it may happen to become unlawful: first, when it is done for an evil purpose; second, when it gives rise to scandal, being thought to be done with the help of demons; third, when it involves any spiritual or bodily danger to the conjurer or the spectators. And it must be noted that, for every ten tricks of prestidigital illusion, these men perform one of pure sleight of hand, so as to foster the belief that there is no illusion or sorcery in anything that they do, but that all is done by pure skill and dexterity. Ulricus Molitor states that the devil is able to make one thing seem as if it were another; and Nider tells us that many other tricks are practised by conjurers. For this prestidigital art was thought by the giant demons before the Flood, and from them Ham learned it, and from him the Egyptians, then the Chaldeans and Persians, and so in succession.— Francesco Maria Guazzo, Compendium MaleficarumJoin our discord server, main topics are philosophy, theology and traditional sciences. https://discord.gg/Vvj62DxG

Refute the transcendental ideality of space and time

I'm more of a Indian name and form kind of guy.
>>23979628space and time are required for cognition to happentherefore they are prior to cognitiontherefore they are not ideal (cognitive) kunt btfo.
>>23981540If you can empirically verify this without having to use a representation of space time then you will have refuted Kant and Hume. Of course, your major would be refuted, does this mean you have no argument?
>>23981540>space and time are required for cognition to happen>therefore they are prior to cognition>therefore they are not ideallol you just proved transcendental idealism>It must, therefore, be considered as the condition of the possibility of phenomena, and by no means as a determination dependent on them, and is a representation a priori, which necessarily supplies the basis for external phenomena.
>The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, it has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples.

A lot of the perceived weaknesses or relegtion of Women are actually strengths; the idea of staying home whilst someone else does the labor for instance displays a clear power structure where the Woman is above the Man. Men as kind of 'suicide drones' sent out to kill themselves bringing home food could account for the physical differences and the differences in states of mind from the male to female in our species. A smaller frame for Women, then, could even be theorized as an evolutionary strategy if the goal of the female, at a biological level, was to be considered harmless in the mind of the male; in need of protection so as to arouse his sympathies and desire to protect and feed her - there is etymology which confirms this; the notion and concept of (one) 'Wife' stemming from the germanic 'wif/waif' meaning 'Small Child' and Husband from House-Guard.As evolutionary strategy the difference of our species from most other species, where the female is larger and more physically violent, suggests a radical divergence occurring where Women at some point became content enough with their ability to have Men do what they wanted and fight their battles for them; not needing too these things themselves, so the frame and musculature was lost over time.Even the habit, seemingly, of Men to attack each when a perceived transgression against Women by a Man has take place suggests a deep hardwiring of Men to be completely subservient towards Women. I used to think this was pheromonal perhaps but with the internet e can see it occurs even when the Man is 'white knighting' for a static image of a Woman; i.e. no proximity nessecary for pheromones to account for it.There's no moral judgment being made about this, or anything. Really if Men are hardwired to be suici drones for Women then it only really matters what the goal of one Woman to the next is; whether they have intellect to make use of this position or whether they're stuck in the cave mentality, getting their tribe killed over demands for pretty bits of twig to put in their hair, etc.

I would like to read your opinion about Paul Auster's novels, please !
>>23979142Extremely jewish, and I'm not even anti-semitic.
>>23979234>>23979291Ghosts > Locked Room > City of Glass
>>23980101How is his fiction extremely Jewish? I wouldn't have a problem with someone characterizing an author like Philip Roth as extremely Jewish, since his works actually concern aspects of Jewish culture. But Auster's fiction is much more universal in nature; closer to the philosophical works of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. (And, yes, I'm aware that he was Jewish.) Sure, many of his characters are probably secular Jews, but that isn't really central to his stories; had he written them as cosmopolitan, secular goyim, the stories themselves probably wouldn't have been altered that much.
>>23980490>I wouldn't have a problem with someone characterizing an author like Philip Roth as extremely Jewishright because he mentions jews on literally every page lol a work can be jewish without doing that. auster is a very jewish author get over it it's ok to be a jew

>>23979315lmao
>>23979315what about mandy flores and Mia malkova anon?
>>23979193I think a lot of this comes from the fact that he was both a turbo-autist and extraordinarily well-read. On the turbo-autist side he could appreciate when he saw one thing done brilliantly even if the rest was merely serviceable. Take for example pic related where he basically calls austen a stunted woman-child writer. Yet at the same time he rates her as "great" because of her ability to marry form and content in a way he finds satisfying. So one thing can ruin a writer for him, one thing can elevate a writer for him.On the well-read side, he probably read more than the vast majority of writers he rated, so he's seen most everything before. If any aspect isn't great (without at least one thing being genius), he'll shit on it. And if he finds the story to rely on too much contrived melodrama, pathos, or platitude, then the best he'll rate them is "powerful mediocrity".
>>23979213See >>23981480 for context.
>>23979477>Women in general aren't much different from men in terms of sheer horniness.Yeah, if you just ignore everything that shows they are extremely different.
what are your thoughts on kristeva? i find her psychoanalytic theory fascinating
>>23981378She is fascinating. I recently cited her work for an essay about David Cronenberg's movies I am writing. If you appreciate her, I recommend reading Linda Williams and Barbara Creed too.

Hello anon i'd like a reading list that combines psychology(With a Jungian bent), Esotericism(Neoplatonism and Hermeticism no Jewish Kabbalah soul poison pls), and philosophy/metaphysics.I want to self initiate while avoiding the evil side of esotericism.
