Greetings. I am looking for books of ironclad philosophy, books that do not deny life, but praise it, that man is to sort what he can from the chaos, and cast all else away. Books that emphasise the dictator who must rule to allow humanity its full potential. Books that remind of tbe true utopian state of war. I have heard of Schmitt and Nietzsche but require more specific recommendations on these authors.
>>25274588you make this thread every week, mister. may i suggest you seek professional help?
>>25274589I don't need professional help, I just want book recommendations. I have seen what professional help can give you, it's fucking nothing, and it's why I have come to the views I hold now. Going to the job centre only to get a print out from indeed or linkedin. Going to the therapist only to be told they can't deal with problems I have and the waiting list is 7 fucking years. I've tried to use stoicism to deal with my life (so don't recommend the Meditations). There could be a better society, a stronger society and that is why I need these recommendations. Because we need a new world.
>>25274588You're a faggot.
>>25274610Stfu and recommend a book of philosophy.
>>25274588Just read faggot, like a man would do.Start with Plato and end with Plato
>>25274645Is the Laws a good starting point? It seems the most practical of his works, the most applicable.
>>25274668You should read in chronological order, you can get practical things from all of them
>>25274588Read the Illiad and Odyssey (Richmond Lattimore translation) then read the Lattimore and Grene editions of the tragedies (at least read the Oresteian trilogy of Aeschylus, the Oedipus plays of Sophocles and The Bacchae, Hippolytus, Medea of Euripides). Next pickup the Penguin classics volume titled "Early Greek Philosophy" this will give you a good overview of the pre-Socratics. You'd probably do well if you're particularly interested in Nietzsche to read Charles Kahn's The Art and Thought of Heraclitus. Then read the five dialogues of Plato: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo (often found in a volume titled 'The Last Days of Socrates'). The translations you choose of the philosophical works are not as important as with the poetry/plays, as the poetry/plays both needs to be beautiful enough to read, and also be accurate to the original text; whereas the philosophy just needs to be accurate and clear. Both the tragedies and these works by Plato are very short. Next read The Republic. If you're not in love with the Greek world by now and just want to read some Nietzsche and at least understand some of it, watch an old performance of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde on YouTube and read Wagner's Wikipedia page. Then you can read Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy. Your background in the tragedies will help a lot and so will your cursory view of Wagner. This is a nice little primer on Nietzsche, and you could just proceed into his other works, I'd say Ecce Homo and then BGE next while reading some commentaries, secondary information, online discussion etc. But, you'd get more out of it if you now with your newfound appreciation for actually reading philosophy and your foundation in the Greeks, go back to Aristotle. Read The Nicomachean Ethics and Metaphysics at least, Poetics too if you're enjoying him. Then on to reading at the very least The New Testament of the Bible, but would benefit from Genesis and Exodus. Then read St Augustine's Confessions and Aquinas' On Being and Essence. Next on to Descarte's Meditations on First Philosophy. Then Spinoza's Ethics, Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. Now the big boy Immanuel Kant. You must read Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics, and then at least some sections from Critique of Pure Reason. Look for some guidance online if you struggle with Kant, as everybody does. Onwards to Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, would benefit from some of his Lectures on the Philosophy of History. Now it's time for maybe the most important pre-requisite for Nietzsche, Arthur Schopenhauer. Read The World as Will and Representation and On the Suffering of the World. Now you're fully prepared for Nietzsche and you're very well read.
The entire justification of the Führerprinzip and the friend-enemy distinction in Schmitt is the horror of war and the need to avoid it. You'd know that if you'd ever read anything by Schmitt, but you didn't, you just saw some fat zoomer squawk the phrase "friend-enemy distinction" at Medhi Hasan and thought it sounded cool.
