Anyone else here like Emil Cioran?
I've read A Short History of Decay, On the Heights of Despair, and I just picked this one up today. Love everything I've read so far, and I'm interested in finding some similar stuff besides the obvious Nietzsche/Schopenhauer.
Also how the fuck do you pronounce his name? I've heard "chaw-wren", "chore-ahn", and "see-rahn".

Yes, and he is one of my favorites. His principles will always be ridiculed by posters like >>8279731 because they've been so deluded by their own biology, because humanity "needs" to prosper.

"not everybody loses his innocence: therefore not everybody is unhappy. those who live naively, not out of stupidity - innocence is a pure state which excludes such deficiencies - but out of instinctive and organic love for nature, whose charm innocence is always quick to discover, those are the ones who achieve harmony, an integration with life, much coveted by those who struggle on the heights of despair."

What's your favorite book by him? And who else would you recommend?
>>8279751
The Trouble With Being Born is incredible. His writing is like little aphoristic sound bites of truth that hit you hard and change your views on the world forever.
Of course, I would have to recommend Ligotti's "The Conspiracy Against the Human Race."
>>8279736
Jokes on you I like Cioran. I just take breaks from masturbating to I Have a Special Plan for This World and reading The Last Messiah repeatedly while crying to shitpost.
>>8279771
That's fine. I'm just saying that this thread will only reach 30 posts maximum and many of those posts will be people arguing for a pro-natalist standpoint akin to the first post you created, because that's the way the world works.

I got a copy of On the Heights of Despair, i'm not sure if I should start right away.
Honestly I only got it because I was getting Tragic sense of Life by Unamuno and it was the same publisher for both books here in my country.
I'm still unsure how to approach Cioran, any tips?
Thank you.
These look incredible. Thanks!
how do i pronounce Nietzsche
Someone who is more well-read needs to remake this chart. Preferably with Cioran and Ligotti.

"chore-ahn" is the closest of the three.

He's wickedly funny; if he weren't, he'd be insufferable. But because he's hyperselfaware, he's wickedly funny. Highly recommend All Gall is Divided:
"Perhaps existence is our exile and nothingness our home?"

Trouble with Being Born or
A Short History of Decay. If you want young facist Cioran you start with On the Heights of Despair.

I'm curious. To any anti-natalists are in here: if not being born is preferable to living, why have you not killed yourself yet?
>>8282511
You can read Cioran without labelling yourself anti-natalist. Or sometimes you may want childrens, sometimes not, or not care. Or sometimes say and live some things, and in other times think and live others things, etc. Coherency is merely accessory most of the times.
Anyway, not being born and killing oneself aren't the same thing for Cioran. That's one of the topics of The Trouble with Being born.
>>8282573
Hence why I didn't ask the question of people who had read Cioran, but anti-Natalists.
>>8282600
So if someone doesn't think it's moral to have kids that means they should kill themselves?

I'm brazilian and that book is utter shit.
>>8283285
It's an excellent book, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>8283293
It's generical babble with almost no real good insights, sustaining itselft on a pastiche of brazilian modernists and on a circlejerkingly dull plot.
>>8283307
>generical
brazil pls
>>8282511
It's too late.
>>8283285
The list also has Women & Men, which is only on there due to its obscurity and length.
>>8279771
The Last Messiah is Zapffe, not Cioran
Cioran ideas suck and he is boring as fuck
