I thought that was a joke, for a moment, but realized that there are thousands of pianists I don't know about, and assumed you meant another person entirely.

Yeah pretty much. Spengler's thesis is, historically speaking, crackpot-tier.
>>8025820
"Decline of the West" just has such a sound to it, even if it's not true I like the concept of a decaying society. Is Spengler worth reading?
>>8025808
Holy fuck, the guy lists "Baudrillard and Deleuze" as his favorite philosophers, yet you chose to go after Chomsky and Spengler with the words "charlatan" and "not a real description of things"? Christ on a bike, get your priorities in order. At least Chomsky and Spengler wrote clearly.

music and artist fuckin slayed me, thanks for this
>>8026034
No, I enjoy them for what they are. I don't believe philosophy can accurately provide a noumenal description of the world, and exists only to prepare new lenses through which to view it. Incidentally, rigor doesn't mean much to me, and I am perfectly satisfied with using philosophy as a unique framing device to view the world

It's the same reason you listed Plato and Homer. You don't really have a preference, so you just put down a "classic" choice that no one could disagree with.
>>8026090
It sounds to me like you don't really know what you're talking about, and you're trying to adopt an elitist, admonishing tone to convince yourself of something without actually doing the work of reading. If it makes you feel better to call 20th century french continentals 'spouters of nonsense,' I won't try to argue with you.
>>8026091
You're trying to call out others on posting Bach and Beethoven then you post Brian Eno?? This has to be bait..
Seriously, fucking Eno is damn near every answer in the music threads on here. Marx and Plato too?? Fucking tryhard.
>>8026106
I've read all sorts of philosophy (I got my degree in philosophy) and Plato is genuinely my favorite. As for Homer- yes, my exposure to poetry is admittedly very limited but he's extremely readable and entertaining (depending on translation I guess). Definitely not a deliberate highbrow choice.
>You don't really have a preference

Bouguereau, Whistler, Ivanov
do you all listen exclusively to classical or are you just namedropping to act cultured.
not that there's anything wrong with either contemporary or art music but if you put Mozart and/or Bob Dylan there you should probably try expanding your taste a bit.

bob dylan and mozart are goat though.
sometimes you can listen to everything in the world and come back to the "most" heard people.
No one listens to bob dylan anymore in a mainstream context, and mozart at best for the majority is seen in coffee house youtube pleb shit playlists.
it's not bad.

Poet: not really into but off the top of my head I would say maybe Yukio Mishimas poetry (even though I disagree with him politically)
Do I, then, belong to the heavens?
Why, if not so, should the heavens
Fix me thus with their ceaseless blue stare,
Luring me on, and my mind, higher
Ever higher, up into the sky,
Drawing me ceaselessly up
To heights far, far above the human?
Why, when balance has been strictly studied
And flight calculated with the best of reason
Till no aberrant element should, by rights, remain-
Why, still, should the lust for ascension
Seem, in itself, so close to madness?
Nothing is that can satify me;
Earthly novelty is too soon dulled;
I am drawn higher and higher, more unstable,
Closer and closer to the sun's effulgence.
Why do these rays of reason destroy me?
Villages below and meandering streams
Grow tolerable as our distance grows.
Why do they plead, approve, lure me
With promise that I may love the human
If only it is seen, thus, from afar-
Although the goal could never have been love,
Nor, had it been, could I ever have
Belonged to the heavens?
I have not envied the bird its freedom
Nor have I longed for the ease of Nature,
Driven by naught save this strange yearning
For the higher, and the closer, to plunge myself
Into the deep sky's blue, so contrary
To all organic joys, so far
From pleasures of superiority
But higher, and higher,
Dazzled, perhaps, by the dizzy incandescence
Of waxen wings.
>>8036505
Or do I then
Belong, after all, to the earth?
Why, if not so, should the earth
Show such swiftness to encompass my fall?
Granting no space to think or feel,
Why did the soft, indolent earth thus
Greet me with the shock of steel plate?
Did the soft earth thus turn to steel
Only to show me my own softness?
That Nature might bring home to me
That to fall, not to fly, is in the order of things,
More natural by far than that improbable passion?
Is the blue of the sky then a dream?
Was it devised by the earth, to which I belonged,
On account of the fleeting, white-hot intoxication
Achieved for a moment by waxen wings?
And did the heavens abet the plan to punish me?
To punish me for not believing in myself
Or for believing too much;
Too earger to know where lay my allegiance
Or vainly assuming that already I knew all;
For wanting to fly off
To the unknown
Or the known:
Both of them a single, blue speck of an idea?

Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein is the only reasonable combo, Kierkegaard only for style points tho and Spinoza sprinkles
everything else is mumbo jumbo

Believe it or not, people like things you don't like.
To everyone here:
How much do you guys care about music? I like listening to it and I have music that I prefer, but I don't really care all that much.
There are some pieces that feel amazing to hear, but I don't really like my favorite pieces that much more than a pop album I like and I don't like a pop album I like that much more than a pop album I don't like.
To me the difference between how much I like my favorite music and how much I like my least favorite music is just not that great.
>inb4 you just don't listen to enough stuff
I use to be an obsessed elitist and have listened to so much different music.

don't really know a lot about art other than surrealist stuff so I don't feel informed enough to make a statement on this

I care a great deal about music. My favorite stuff is borderline sacred to me, and large portions of music act as memory banks.

I hate the fucking world, to many god damn fuckers in it. to many thoughts about societies all wrapped up together in this place called AMERICA. everyone has their own god damn opinions on every damn thing and you may be saying "well what makes you so different?". because I have something only me and V have, SELF AWARENESS, Call it exortenstiolism or whatever the fuck u want. we know what are to this world and what everyone else is. we learn more than what caused the civil war and how to simplify quadratics in school. we have been watching you people. we know what you think and how you act, all talk and no actions. people who are said to be brave or couragous are usually just STUPID then they say later that they did it on purpose cause they are brave when they did on fucking accident. GOD everything is so corrupt and so filled with little opinions and points of view and peoples' own little agendas and shedules. this isnt a world anymore, its H.O.E. and [no]one knows it. self awareness is a wonderful thing.

i went to sleep listening to an audiobook of Phenomenology Of Spirit the other day and i woke about five hours later and I was like "this is literally some of stupidest shit i have ever heard in my life" it's amazing when u listen to it as an audiobook it helps u see how fucking stupid it actually is, i just can't take this "philosophy" farce seriously
