Literally what the fuck? Do I really have to go over two millennia worth of text just to get to Nietzsche (my favorite philosopher)?
>>8176945
You do have to cover the Greeks and the Bible.
>>8176945
How do you know he's your favorite if you haven't gotten to him yet?

The fact that religion has failed to prevent violence or prevent itself from promoting violence itself for thousands of years, proves that religion has failed.
>>8176171
The point of religion isn't one thing because religion isn't a single entity.
The point of Christianity also isn't the absence of war and the point of Islam is largely conquest.
>>8176188
"the point of christianity isn't the absence of war and the point of islam is conquest" then they're intentionally divisive and destructive and a failured brainwashing experiment. Yes, when you put it that way they're no less of a failure.

>book has a character in it called Pepe
>Book doesn't have a character in it called Landwolf
I've always thought Woyzeck was close enough to Wojak
I had lunch with my grandma at a restaurang called Pepe last week.
I felt connected.
Okay lit, I am looking for something great, not a romp. Not a work of logical explanation, but a journey descent into paradox and beautiful writing, something that seems to break down logic itself, something that feels as though it came from someone who was living in a door outside of the 2D illusion of 3D that we see when we look at the world around us.
romp

Godel, Escher, Bach?
>>8176270
No, like literature. I watched a lecture on godel just today since you mentioned that though and it was pretty cool.
Do you know some good post apocalyptic books?
I only know these books, although I have not yet read:
- The Road
- The Postman
- Il Cavallo Venduto, by Scerbanenco (I don't know if there is a international version of this book)
- The Shannara Saga
- A Canticle for Leibowitz
- Player One
- The Long Tomorrow
Ask in the /sff/ general. They might help you there.
Ps: don't read ready player one, I dare you.
>>8176046
>Ps: don't read ready player one, I dare you.
You're not the only one who tells me to avoid that book. Is this really so bad?

I read it for the themes.
I'm about to read it for fun. Read Angels & Demons a few weeks ago. Liked it.
Hey!
If you enjoyed that, try out Dostojevsky, he has really good themes.
There's something ironic about read and read being two different words. Both of which are separate from reed and red but unlike these two, the act of utilizing one or the other requires participation of the word itself in order to understand the context.
I can't be the only one that really dislikes Canadian lit.
I love Montgomery but I'm not sure her books count as literature.
Alice Munro gets a little respect
the dykes here seem to like Atwood
and uhhhh.....
I like that Neil Young song about Johnny Rotten
I think Atwood is overrated but still a decent author. Munro is amazing.
Besides Schop's "On Women", are there any other good misogynistic works/chapters in the history of philosophy?
