What is your profession? How do you have so much time to address me? The amount of utter love I feel from you is a little overwhelming- to invest so much of yourself to-what?-prove me wrong?

>>9340672

Dude you're literally taking my name at this point. Am I such a god to you that you can't even carve out your own name?

This is truly something inhuman...

some people are just born worse than others. one would hope that life and education would undo what nature had originally fucked up--but society can only offer so much.

there is nothing left with them save for ash and dust.

ok, i've engaged you, i've asked you questions, i've tried to figure out what is it the base of your incredible insecurity. you have no answers (surprise!) beyond just more immature lashing out. you will forever hate me for no good reason--so be it. i am done, and will ignore you from here on out.

holy shit this is incredible...atop your anger and insecurity there is now delusion.

explain to me the basis of your insane and persistent anger or just fucking drop the subject entirely. there is no human reason to act like you do beyond insecurity and jealousy. you have been unable to express yourself in any meaningful way up until this point. this is truly becoming a thing to behold...

>>9340385

check the fucking IP addresses, you fucking idiot. you realize there are digital ways to disprove you? i love how, by definition, any defense of me is of course me samefagging. sure.

fantastic. i'm actually writing a chapter on arendt for my dissertation--particularly how her ideas of judgment play out against 50s/60s american politics, and further how her idea of "the lie" interacts with vietnam.

did you like the human condition? what do you make of her notion of "action"?

i'd really love to hear more about what you think of her thought--it seems to me that you aren't the biggest fan? but you've also read a great deal, so i can't imagine that you've written her off entirely...

i really don't know what else to say at this point. it is so painfully obvious that your jealously over my material prosperity has led to just a flagrant gnashing; you have made no attempt to address any intellectual or academic point--which many other posters have. it is clear that you have nothing and are nothing in this world. read eric hoffer's "the true believer"--i think you will find a lot of what you are in that book.

truly my heartfelt sympathy extends to you. may you find peace from the abject worthlessness that is your life.

nah. keep meaning to, but you know...

>>9339585

which book by arendt? on violence?

>>9339592

you're so sad and i deeply pity you :(

>>9339599

for sure

oldest actual physical copy--or oldest in terms of the information it covers?

this is an important question. my introduction to eastern religion came mainly through schopenhauer--i began to study buddhism/toaism and some of the more esoteric aspects of eastern religions more seriously in the last couple of years. i have a lot to say here--i will post more in a bit. what is your opinion/religious worldview?

>>9338664

either way, your presence is welcome, and you will find a new type of intellectual home in DC if you should ever choose

>>9338678

heraclitus is one of the first to posit the otherworldiness of things; the socratic project--particular phaedrus and timaeus, as well as some aspects of republic--is really the place to begin.
arthur lovejoy has a truly masterful volume on the topic: i cannot tell you how highly i would recommend "the great chain of being"

>>9338724

i commend this project--but i would have never skipped over the romans or scholastics--reading ALL of augustine and aquinas, let alone calvin and luther and various other early christian mystics, i think is imperative.
why focus on original works of science, out of curiosity? i could maybe buy that with the greeks, who laced their math with philosophy, but a lot of the science of the 16th/17th/18th centuries has naturally evolved--Kuhn's work, as well as Collins (sociology of philosophies), are great overviews of the history of science. see also the images i posted in that vein--will happily scan in anything that will save you time.

could you post a more thorough list of what you have covered/intend to cover? i can give more insight upon review.

>>9338824

i've been working on it. simply copying down the data from each book into a word format is a lengthy pain in the ass, though; it'll take me a while.

>>9339482

dude...just stop. it's sad at this point, and i'm beginning to pity you. please, pause a moment, step back from your life and reasses.

i cannot have children. chemotherapy sterilized me permanently.

>>9337895

absolutely not. baudrillard's idea of the simulacrum is just a minor modern trill to the overall socratic notion of the eidos: it was the greeks who first posited the "otherworldliness" of things--that this world is an illusion, that something real lies behind it. baudrillard's "lights and sounds" merely pushes this into a registrar of jargon, and cuts the notion of the reigning eidos that would make any form of transcendental "out" possible. follow baudrillard and you arrive at the type of immature nihilism nietzsche found utterly decadent (and i agree).

>>9338199

i went through a silly militant atheist phase when i was 14. at 27, and having survived cancer, im catholic--simpy because i see suffering as a way to truth

>>9338333

i got you--i have everything but the la cruz. will scan when i can.

>>9337855

are you going to argue against wikipedia as well?

jesus christ, man. nobody is this insecure and just fucking wrong about the world without being seriously deranged. do you have to wear water wings when you eat soup?

we both also know that you will never answer an of my points of questions directly--mainly because you cant. i get your game; i feed the troll because i like the attention. why you keep sending me back some food is a little confusing to me, but whatever, it satisfies.
