>I've read HeraclitusThat's impressive considering none of his books still exist.
>>24942639Okay but have you read Guenon? He makes them all make sense
99% of readers quit just before hitting it big. Just read one more book.
>>24942639erudite frogposter
>>24942639>I've read Socrates
skill issue.
>>24942675I've read Guenon. I've read Evola. I've read Schuon. >>24942745Who do I read for skill?
>>24942639>ThalesYou’ve read the three pages of anecdotes about him? wow Can i suck ur dick?>>24942671Somehow even more retarded
>>24942671He's referring to fragments, obviously.
>>24942639>>24942671Heraclitus is really one of those writers you need to read twice.
>>24942639Not only you claim to have read the presocratics and Soc himself.>I've read CiceroStopped reading right there. Why did you skip Euclid?
>>24942781Thanks for the motivation, I have a book of Pre Socratics sitting around, I should revisit Heraclitus. Love him
>>24942836Heraclitus is really one of those writers you need to read twice.
>>24942753Maybe stop reading
>>24943437Recs for that?
>>24942639...and now it is your turn to write. good luck anon
>>24942639Non shitposting: Out of these I've NOT readSocrates (because he didn't write anything).Ockam.Nicholas of Cusa.Arendt.Agamben.Nagarjuna.Shankara.Ibn sina.Al-Ghaxali.Austen.Balzac. Garcia Marquez.
>>24943070>Heraclitus is really one of those writers you need to read twice.Heraclitus, that brooding impresario of flux, strikes me as the sort of peripatetic mystic who, having misplaced his spectacles in the river, proclaims the current a metaphysical necessity rather than admit his own myopia. His aphorisms—those damp, smoky pellets of oracular pretension—wander about like philosophic fireflies, blinking with a significance one suspects is accidental. He was a prophet of puddles, a riddler intoxicated by the sound of his own riddling, and a melancholy pyrotechnician forever fussing with his little flame of Becoming, convinced that if he squinted hard enough, its flicker might pass for illumination.
>>24944618Yep, Heraclitus is really one of those writers you need to read twice.
>>24942639>no geometry>no mathIts over.
>>24942639read less
>>24944965Since none of those other fuckers picked up on your joke (or they did and they just ignored you for a faggot, rightly so) i will humor you.> No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man> No man ever reads the same book twice for it's not the same book and he's not the same manYeah yeah...
>I've read them all, and I understand nothing.Now you’re ready to become a writer.
>>24942639
>>24942639Bad foid. Read this and understand it, it’s right in front of your facehttp://hoye.de/theo/denistxt.pdf
>>24946093Thanks for explaining the joke anon, "Heraclitus is really one of those writers you need to read twice" is really one of those jokes you need to tell twice.
