>>23816221«A PHILOSOPHY»?PHILOSOPHY IS AN ACT, NOT A THING IN ITSELF.PHILOSOPHY IS THE ACT OF COGITATION IN PRO OF LEARNING THE NATURE OF THINGS.YOU ARE CONFLATING PHILOSOPHY WITH IDEOLOGY.IDEOLOGY IS NOT PERSONAL, BUT COLLECTIVE.IT SEEMS, RATHER, THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM OF IDENTITY.CULTIVATE YOUR PERSONALITY, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BECOME AN IDEOLOGICAL AVTOMATON, OR A SOPHIST.

>>23816221why do you need a "personal philosophy"?>>23816255the best way to go about that is to start writing stories, try to sell them, and iterate repeatedly. you don't have the same publishing environment available to you that those authors did (and note that lovecraft was never a financial success and went almost entirely unrecognized during his own lifetime), but there are still opportunities if you look.

>>23818169Don't do this, it's a recipe for becoming a pseud. You read some rinky dink fragments, then Plato, then skip Aristotle because he's le boring and not an epick mystick, then become a Guenonist or a Hindoo or a Thelemite or some other bullshit. Do not do this. Start with the Categories.
