Very interesting, thanks for posting.

I'm really interested in the whole universe of the Great Old Ones Lovecraft created, but I really don't know where to start. He has a lot of (short) stories and supposedly a lot of them aren't all that great, either.
Do anyone have experience with pic related or general tips for a newbie?
Here you go, old boy!
I have that edition and it's great.
>>7885647
Oh, I guess this is what I was looking for. My google search was more than lacking, it seems. Thanks a lot!
Any tips on abandoning your ego whilst reading? Being able to read and absorb literature semi-objectively, not thinking of things in relation to yourself.

>abandoning your ego
>Stirner.jpg
>>7885602
Abandon all hope of objetivity. Everything else is also tainted by your perception, reality itself is not safe from your ego. Even what doesn't exist goes through your lens.
Why would you want to abandon me :(
>tfw you work for minimum wage at a grocery store in some shitty Canadian city and will never hang out at Cornell in April :.(
why even live?
>>7885528
That's a good question. I always supposed that proles lived for the sake of children, superstition and cheap liquor. Have you tried those yet, little fellow?
>tfw at Cornell in April
It actually sucks though, why would you wish this upon yourself
>>7885546
oh sure i drink, and my superstition is marxist teleology, but still. it just doesn't feel that good.
What you think about it? Are a guide or a true?
You want to be in any way. after all, many people regret playing nobel prize book all the time.
As some people say, "high" to implement a chemical film, and may be the same, but the refugees.
Optional air cargo vessel for non-life and satisfaction is the loss development. It really is a hedonist you your life will be considered. About his health. If as seriously as they credit you can buy heroin hook blood as chair and start playing a video, listen to music, eating pizza.
Sorry for bad English.
>>7885530
Hmm. Agreed for the most part. Im not sure 'buy' is really the correct verb for the 'heroin hook blood as chair.' Perhaps 'ascertain'?
>>7885530
Air cargo vessel was mandatory in my day
Maybe it was made optional in lieu of chinese horsse to rescue us from empty dismal cave in unceasingly lusterless gray ocean?

St. Augustine is great if you like theology, spirituality and philosophy.

Just finished Wizard of the Crow and it was pretty great. Achebe is a go to. And Obioma's The Fishermen was shortlisted last year for Man Booker and it was really excellent about blood feud.
>>7885142
Also Bitter Harvest by Ian Smith and Disgrace by Coatzee if you like the other side of the coin.

How does what someone reads affect their personality
Are sensitive Nancy boys that way because they read poetry or do they read poetry because they are sensitive Nancy boys?
Are logical people that way because they read logical stuff or is it because they have autism?

>Although these notes, in conformity with custom, come after the poem, the reader is advised to consult them first and then study the poem with their help, rereading them of course as he goes through the text, and perhaps, after having done with the poem, consulting them a third time so as to complete the picture.
Should I take the hint or just read the poem first?

I'm writing a book on the relationship among religion, evolutionary psychology, sociology, society, culture, politics, and well-being. It probably won't get finished or released, but it really should. It would radically change the way that people understand and treat religion, challenge current ideas about psychology and sociology, and make seemingly bizzare human antics such as love for music and the acts of ISIS totally relatable and comprehensible. But I probably won't finish it because doing theosophy and taking is seriously gives you a mindset that is terribly alienating and disatisfactory.
>>7884596
What makes this debate so boring is that it lacks any relevance outside of philosophy - and inside philosophy I would add, if that discipline didn't consist of angry circlejerking since 200 years or so.
Selected works?
What should I read first?
Ethics interests me most out of the several fields of philosophy
