Actually I've read a decent amount of those.

Dont care about Camus and Sartre, Camus specifically seems to exist to appeal to some part of the normgroid brain that doesnt care about investigation of the world, but an affirmation of their biases in just comfortable enough of a way that it doesnt seem like a circular appeal to themselves.

I need to get on Focault and Heidegger asap though, have a feeling they'll help me with understanding Wittgenstein in a new way.

Coles has a 3 books for $10 deal lately. These editions aren't the best in terms of cover artwork or spine quality, but I'm poor and could not resist. This is 3 separate purchases stacked together.

Wow you must be preparing for something very serious and important reading those particular books

>>25339760
Memes aside, is Decline of the West actually worth reading?
>>
>>25339631
To be fair you should at least go into why you bought your stack and what you hope to get from it
>>
>>25339763
Yet to read it, but people I know who have say it's worthwhile. At least if you're into the esoteric side of history and civilisations and whatnot. I heard the abridged edition is best for a first time read if you're unsure you can digest the full two volumes first time round, so that's what I went with. It was also a lot cheaper.
>>
>>25339102
Paperbacks that huge give me the ick. If it's not available in hardcover at that size I would avoid buying. But each to their own.

I think you're dumb and that person is also dumb for thinking ever, that an analogy without context is sufficient. You are stupid dumb motherfucker that doesn't understand language or truth and communication
>>
>>25341875
I think you need to be quicker on the uptake and thats a flaw on your part. Its abrupt and spontaneous but I didn't experience any of the stumbling you seem to have trouble with.

Posting pictures is quite possibly the most retarded way to accomplish that. As evidenced by the thread and the fact that nobody is talking about them.

>posting images on an imageboard is LE BAD
