What are your thoughts on the books, OP? I have read The Stranger recently and I really don't know what to make of it.

I read it as a critique on nihilists (i.e. "don't be this guy") and simultaneously a critique on societys hate for people like Mersault. Just because he did not grieve his mothers death they sent him to die for a crime that could otherwise with a little remorse/defense shown from Mersault and some good lawyer work have been dismissed. I liked it a lot but I think I will have to read it again to understand it more thorougly.

This is only The Stranger I didn't see you asked about all three.

Critique of Pure Reason Immanuel Kant

Thus Spoke Zarathustra Friederich Nietzsche

The Republic Plato

After that it depends where you want to go and what you want to understand. What have you read so far? Are you religious or do you want to understand religion?

Sorry, misread. Novels?

Siddartha and Steppenwolf by Hesse are pretty good, Crime and Punishment, the Bible, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.

If you're interested in little treatments of philosophical ideas, Borges' fictions and Calvino's Invisble Cities would be a recommended place to start.

Why do we read philosophy books?

>>7694737
The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall

>philosophical
>novel

No... please no. Read philosophy for philosopy, literature for literature. I've never read a philosophical novel that didn't end up muddying both the philosophy and the lit.

Unfortunately has been my problem with Borges since I graduated high school.
