What does /lit/ think of Deleuze?
I have been working through his corpus and think that, like Nietzsche, it is going to take quite some time for society to catch up to his work.
Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus are both amazing. Starting with Bergsonism and Difference and Repetition is advised though

I'm not well-versed enough to really understand his work on philosophy. His work with the other arts is pretty easy to read and often interesting, though you can feel him reaching hard to deviate from what was previously believed about certain writers. Sometimes it works, other times not.

Don't forget Spinoza.
Spinoza-Nietzsche-Bergson (and later Kant) are Deleuze's homeboys.
Spinoza especially to the extent that Deleuze is rectifying Nietzsche's gross misrepresentation of Spinoza.
In fact, I'd say Spinoza is much more central to Deleuze than Nietzsche. He wrote his secondary thesis on Spinoza and lectured on him extensively.
Heyyyyyy /lit/....so uh, I heard you like, uh, booktubers, so I uh....
HNG!

She also deleted her tumblr post telling us to fuck off, but when we start buying her books, well then, she's just a peach ain't she?
Gift her Infinite Jest so that she feels obligated to read it all and review it. Also she'll probably identify with his wishy-washy sincerity bullshit anyway.
Just finished Plato's Republic. Please ask me questions about it. Answering questions of things I've just read helps me jog my memory. Also, I read about the Presocratics, the Theban plays, and most of the Histories by Herodotus last year, so I'll answer some questions on those as well.
I think I'll reread Homer's epics and maybe the Metaphysics by Aristotle, and that's going to be wrap up my Greek readings for now. I want to move on to the Romans soon. I'm going to begin with the Aeneid. After that, what else should I read? Do you think I should tackle Livy's history of Rome or should I just read the Periochae?
was it all a dream?
Does ist have a happy ending?
One bump before I go to bed in hopes I'll get some questions by tomorrow morning
Any recommended books for people getting over depression and starting to look forward again?

I was like thinking of writing a Künstlerroman about Hegel in a postmodern tradition focusing on his life leading up to Phenomenology with the climax being the collision of two historical forces in Jena the day he mailed his final manuscript.
What's the best anti-SJW literature?
>>5903706
lol what a virgin.
Adorno
>>5903706
Friedrich Nietzsche - The Gay Science
Judith Butler - Gender Trouble
Franz Fanon - Black Skin, White Masks
A few people have recommended me Guns, Germs, and Steel and I admit it does seem very interesting, but I've seen a bunch of people say it's just SJW bullshit about how whites are all bad guys and how Europeans are responsible for other countries being third-world hellholes.
Is any of that present in the book?
For anyone who has read it, what was your experience?
I read a good lump of it and the arguments/observations were fascinating. Didn't get to anything SJW, just it took a lump out of the whole "Africans inherently inferior" bit.
people are gonna tag anything "SJW" to pejorativize it.
there is a difference between socially-minded history and political history; this work is in the former category as opposed to the latter, which we are all more accustomed to.
nevermind the autists

le bump. In the same boat as OP. Was real interested in reading it, but had heard it's a bunch of anti-white rhetoric
Hi /lit/.
Now that the Christmas season has arrived I have been looking for presents, especially one that my grandmother would like. She is a devout Catholic and is not too keen on tech, so I am considering buying her a good book she can read as I know she can get lonely.
I was thinking of buying the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola but I am having second thoughts as I am sure there are several other books that are certainly more interesting. And so I have come to you, /lit/, for recommendations.
Can you recommend me any good books regarding to Catholicism, perhaps Catholic theology?
Anyways, thank you so much, for those who reply.
>>5885186

Thanks for the bump anon
I am interested in this as well. Hopefully it comes to something.
So a couple days ago I made a post in a thread about Middle Earth about /lit/ making a mythopoeia. If you don’t know what a mythopoeia is, it’s basically a made up fantastical land typically used in the fantasy genre, like Middle-Earth. Basically the goal is to create the most in-depth world as we can. Use our creativity to write out a fantastical world that we could all find interesting. There isn’t a goal to get anything published, this would all just be for fun. We would decide things democratically by voting for things that we create via something like Survey Monkey. Basically, in a similar method to /vp/ makes a pokemon game.
This first thread is to see if there are people actually interested. If not, I’ll leave it at that and won’t make another thread. Anyway, here are people we need:
>Writers
In order to write up fictional history, short stories that take place within the fantastical realm, creation of the fictional mythos, descriptions of prominent figures or creatures, etc. This /lit/ so of course writing will be a big factor.
>Artists
Art for the world we build will kind of have to be needed. I’m sure this place isn’t completely devoid of drawfags.
>General Idea makers and Surveyors
Everything that is put into our fictional world will be what we discuss in the threads and are finalized by taking surveys.
>Wiki helpers/Archivers
I will end up building a wiki if we’re interested, and/or a forum, if people are interested in this. I’ll try to stay on it and organize everything we do, but I’ll need help with that. We need a place to keep track of images and ideas, and threads should be archived.
Here are things we would need to work on in order to build it. If there are things I’m missing please say so:
>Geography
We need to decide what kind of geological features we have. An island? A continent? An entire planet? We need maps made and towns created.
>Culture
We need to figure out the culture, society, and government. Are they all European-like or could they be something like oriental?
>Religion
We need a detailed mythos, a fictional religion that could be real or myth in-world, depending on our choice.
>History
A detailed history would be needed for historical events and prominent figures like Kings and Queens.
>Ecosystem
Are there fantastical beings in this world like trolls or Kangaroo-turtles? We could go conventional or make up our own species. We can do our own spin on conventional fantasy creatures or keep them the same. Do we have normal animals?
So, anyone in?
I propose fantasstical beings be all themed around the idea of the Butt
