Russian Guenon. World-level philosopher. Every traditionalist and convervative should read at least one of his books.

>>17351687
His ideas are actually common sense, especially if you look above the enforce modernist dogmas.

Although anyone to dare define and publish such works, deserves recognition.

Homer probably existed, Ossian most definitely did not

It's almost like Homer Simpson, haha!

Very unlikely since hundreds of places in the Highlands are named after Ossianic characters and some of Ossian himself.

I might get shat on for this, but Murakami (the Haruki one)

>>17351523
Marcel Schwob.
Wonderful short story write and a major influence on Borges (the most obvious one I can see at least). Very erudite too.
>He makes me curious about the unknown mysteries the world holds and magic secrets, like I’m a kid again.
Not like Borges, but these books might also interest you:
>The adventurous heart - Ernst Jünger
>Species of Spaces - Georges Perec
>Invisible cities - Calvino
And most importantly, read poetry anon.

I'm not gonna argue semantics with you, retard. It is the first military action taken by Muslims in their history, call it a battle or an expedition, I dont care.

>>17351590
i like the argument that the Koran is authentic BECAUSE it's an insane, garbled mess

>>17351641
You fucking imbecile. You actual retard. During the first seven expeditions, no battles took place. This is actually extraordinary. During the first expedition, it says it was aimed at the Quraysh. He didn’t actually encounter them. This is such a classic mistake. During the first seven expeditions, very little interesting stuff actually happens, apart from side activities where no actual blood is spilled.

I seriously thought you were going to say the second one, when the first arrow was shot, or the third one, when the first banner is flown, but you actually went with the prototypical wikipedia scholar answer, and went with the first. Perfect. You’re an idiot

Virginia Woolf comes to mind, and although I haven't read any of his work, I hear that László Krasznahorkai's writing style is in that style too

Dunno why Wagner gets talked about so frequently here. I've not read anything by him and his more prominent works are boring, although I've never taken to opera or romantic anything. Defo nothing like a 10h Sorabji piece that's technically difficult and long.

>>17351553
>Wagner wasn't technically difficult and long

>>17351553
ye I love masturbatory technicality with no musical worth

>>17351487
My point was that it was more than Wagner. The influence of Tristam Shandy on the modernists is obvious and well documented. During the 19th century and you can see its use in literature slowly increasing as the century goes on until the modernists hit and wrote works based around the technique instead of just using it here and there. It was coming regardless of Wagner, he certainly played a role but attributing it to him is a little silly. At most you could call him the tipping point.

>>17351553
>Dunno why Wagner gets talked about so frequently here.
We have a few Wagner autists.

Gtfo my board then you're the only dumbass here tonight.

I disagree. Camus is obviously not the most profound philosopher but I think he's good at what he's aiming, I see him as kind of a first step into philosophy lived in relation to the world. He's not building a very complex system, and he doesn't pretend to. He's trying to tell you that things can be alright and can work out, and I think he succeeds in doing it. He's not the end game, he isn't supposed to be, but his philosophy makes sense and is helpful without being a cope (i.e. pretending things are not the way they are). That's why I like him.
Voltaire now, I would barely call him a philosopher, he's more a polemist and a "thinker". True his system of thoughts is not great, but as a polemist, he is excellent and it's no wonder he was so well-known during his life. As such I would call him "based" even if I don't agree with the man, because it's always enjoyable to read someone shitting on everything he can lays his hands on (in a funny manner).

>Hemingway tries to react, however Rand just starts talking over him loudly
>Hemingway starts beating Rand out of frustration
>Orwell tries to stop Hemingway, gets hit couple times, doesnt achieve anything and walks out with frustration, mumbling something under his nose
>For the whole duration Kafka autistically sits with hands on his knees and watches silently, nodding or smiling occasionally
