>Women and Men a tier below Finnegan's Wake
honestly, FW can be easily understood with a strong sense of resolve and a thorough companion text. Women and Men cannot. It's painfully long, much more sophisticated and difficult, and is not written about very much.
>>
>>7744552
um, this is pretty terrible

of human bondage was pretty disappointing desu senpai

why do you think so? I liked The Razor's Edge better but I didn't find Of Human Bondage disappointing at all

Post some philosophy infographics
>>
>>7748241
Thank you. A lot of people have been asking for this. There are 11 charts that cover various fields of Philosophy fairly well.
>>
>>7747867
it was pretty predictable for me, it felt like a rather poor bildungsroman with a severely unlikeable character, who i could not for the life of me identify with. i think i probably read it a little too late.

All these lists are forgetting one very important piece of literature.

>>7748682
>important
>transcends the meaning/unmeaning dichotomy
i think you're underselling it, really.
>>
>>7748653
How am I suppose to have the source? The whole point of me being one of the people mentioning them is the off chance that someone else can furnish them for us. I just saw them on a thread a long time ago but never bothered to download them then.

>>7748698

They were actually pretty decent and serve as a good starting off point for some. I just thought the thread would still be alive when I had more time to download images off of it.

If you have them just upload them already ffs.
>>
>>7748725
It starts with the greeks
Its all you need to know
>>
>>7748743
"it". Philosophy isn't a monolithic structure and I doubt they can tell you anything about every subfield and modern philosophy.

I didn't mean its all you need to know about philo, I mean its all you need to know about the chart.

>>7752892

save yourself the trouble. they weren't worth the time picking them up.
>>
>>7752900
What do you mean? There is no difference between the previous posts and my own.
>>
>>7752892
If you cut the last three categories this list is actually good

But move the Kybalion up to Core Texts

A tl;dr: Grab the "Corpus Hermeticum" and the "Kybalion" then call it a day.

That modern ritualistic "Hermetics" like Golden Dawn has next to nothing to do with the core stuff and will honestly just get in the way.

Is there a guide to entry level poetry? Feel like getting into it, but no idea where to start, there's a stupid amount out there.

Yes guide me! show me the way! without you i will be lost !
hysterical yes it's quite funny what you "/lit/izens" get up to on this board. what you fools call "guides". hilarious. no no these aren't guides these are tools which enable their creators to gain a sense of pride when they are lauded by other fools.
"oh you made this guide. it's quite lovely i applaud you in it's creation. read these books? no i won't read them i will just save this image and never look at it again. i don't quite know what i'm looking at but yes yes it looks quite professional"
terrible nonsense. absolutely trite.
