well some of the titles are vertical (most horizontal) so either way it would appear skewed. i literally spent about 5 minutes having to type out the titles for you, so what are you complaining about?? your books are nice but not enough to excuse your rudeness, mister.

yeah but not a re-read. i certainly wouldnt prioritise it over much better books. my copy includes the bravo of venice though i havent read that yet. (i know some people love this book so dont crucify me)

its a collection of essays about the love, marriage, contraception, abortion, conceptions of sex, pornography and censorship, homosexuality, and pedophilla with a couple case studies at the end. pretty arbitary choice of essays - seems like it was based on which they could get rather than the most seminal works.

its certainly not an exhaustive sumasion of sex in philosophy - and doesnt go into pre-modern views which is a bit shite tbqhuf. wouldnt recommend, you can probably find the essays online (the important ones at least)

>Also, nice language books.
cheers. i really like the concept of bilingual books. you normally dont need the translated side but if you dont know a word/phrase/idiom its easy to glance rather than get out a dictionary. also they normally include notes for things we might not have in our country.

>You seem like a relatively experienced language learner judging from your choice of materials.
naah i can only read german and italian (and english ofc). im trying to learn french atm.

>Could you tell me some about etymologyicon as well?
its a collection of interesting eytymological stories/connections. each chapter is somehow connected to something in the last so it loops around that way. its more of a coffee table book in my opinion. i wouldnt sit down and read it cover to cover but if im waiting for 10 minutes i might read a chapter (though you can get lost in it and read for a while).

>I really like to break words down and understand them.
you probably need an etymological dictionary, instead. there are some great ones out there.

>>8507005
at least stack them by a wall

if you mean they are shit books then you are objectively wrong fäm. if you mean they are worn then thats because i dont keep books unless im planning to read and refer to them often. if you mean they are shit pictures then i concur.

>the most marxist friendly board is also the most elitist

Explain this.

It was actually court jester, not exactly clown. I involuntarily mixed his words with those of Zizek who repeatedly said that he does not care if people see him as a clown because it nonetheless spreads a message (pic related). Court jester is a more precise term than clown since jesters played an important role for Nietzsche as well.

So here's the quote:
> It wasn’t just Deleuze’s brilliance that attracted students. Because Deleuze felt that philosophy teachers were “looked upon as court jesters,” he decided to play the part. “When he felt tired, he played the musical saw for his students.”Deleuze’s over-the-top style caused one student to yell “fag!” during class, to which Deleuze responded, “Yes, and so?”

I realize it's from a critical-theory article, but the articles are based on the book Intersecting Lives by Francois Dosse. I've yet to read the whole thing though.

As for Deleuze's point, I'm not sure where you can read about it exactly, but he frequently talks about comic, humor, irony and laughter in his books.
