Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition
>>25007396I get my copy with Anna
>>25007469That's on my to buy list. I'm currently reading this.
>>25007304A new age talking monke changed your life how exactly?
Read this when I was a lot younger, and I can say that it had a noticeable impact on my life.
>>25007469Finding out that Hegel was a literal occult practitioner will change your perspective on the entirety of the last 200 years.
This made me realize this world is and was always ran by criminals
>>25007371you have destroyed your cognitive abilities
>>25007304Damn. Literally thought this was a modern approach towards Moby Dick in the style that is currently popular. Thought on it some more and realized I read this book 12 years ago. The entire thing is a man going to a zoo and talking to a monkey. I thought it was good back then, but can tell you nothing about its weight now other than it's a vaguely encouraging piece about environmentalism. Do still kind of enjoy the concept.
>>25007911nothing to do with new age, illiterate mong.
>>25007396>>25007391>>25007389>>25007372These 20th century turborefined and autistic books are fvking kino...I wish I had a library of nothing but this stuff, I feel like they were inventing a new way to see the world every other dayWhat the hell happened to us anons, what the hell happened...
>>25007396whats this i cant find it anywhere
>>25008232Of course it’s new age you dumbfuck. A wise talking monkey condemns civilization as the “takers” while the bumfuck natives are “leavers” and have a heart of gold. Evil takers are ruining nature with their civilization! Some tortured biblical analogies later we figure out agriculture is to blame and mommy nature’s laws must not be broken. All that’s missing is some telepathic dolphins on the cover. >>25008358Ah here we go.
>>25007372That title is intriguing. QRD?
>>25008484it's a critique of husserl (phenomenology as epistemology), but also of all western philosophy, since he thinks they are all driven by the same impulses, and have the same problems, the problem of the concept of a first or something on which epistemology could be based, which actually presupposes the identity of thought and being, and thus was latent in parmenides. it's basically an inverted hegelian view of the history of philosophy, where western philosophy is all developments of the same starting point, but in adorno, it's a bad thing. >>25007466the sutra itself is some kind of hyperphantasic cosmic vision, the main effect of reading it comes from its endless repetitions and variations, I can't describe the effect of reading the sutra itself, but the introduction written by Thomas Clearly changed the way I think permanently. He describes how huayan buddhism overcomes all previous schools of buddhism by surpassing one-sided views. people typically look at nagarjuna's philosophy of emptiness as the most profound statement of buddhism, but there are actually several stages higher than that.
>>25008103For me the side effect was more so taking occultist influence more seriously, I was never much of a Hegel fan and the first time I read Goethe's criticism of him I immediately agreed with it. The more interesting part was looking for religious motivations in everyone else, a lot of times thinkers would just repeat their religion's ideas with some make up on top as if it was completely new. Nietzsche also helped with that given the whole genealogy thing.As for what to get out of all of this I would say a lot of ideas have been repeated for at least 1000 years, just go to the source. A lot of the supposedly Christian mysticism many philosophers dabbled with is just kabbalah, for example. For an example in politics: there were "globalists" in Rome as well. And when you read about the origin of things there tends to be less bells and whistles.
Reverend Insanity
>>25007304Kind of prepared me for this day and age
>>25008484Foucault said if he had known about this before he was an established philosophers he probably wouldn't have needed to write is works
>>25009826God, if only, but we're stuck in the timeline where Foucault wrote books
>>25007469>>25008103>200 pages of Magee deliberately misquoting Hegel to push his crackpot theoriesc'mon, you can do better
>changed you or your perception of the world
>>25010437I’m really intrigued by this novel. It’s calling to me. I opened up a copy in my local bookstore to chapter sixteen and I found it quite gripping because of the characters alone, Jane and the Medium, having their witty banter.
