From a /his/ perspective it's a must read, Hitler's prose isn't anything special really, it usually engages in the same rhetoricap style as his speeches though.

It's a good read, i'd give it a 4/5. It's especially interesting seeing his perspective on the German Empire as an German living under Hapsburg rule and his total contempt for them.

Hi /lit/
I am looking for some books which would develop my english vocabulary since english isn't my native language.
Right now I am rated on a scale of B2. That would the equal of a 14 yo boy borned in UK.
So, I would like some books that would be recommended to a 14 yo boy from UK.

How do I escape nihilism?
don't show me religious ways please

Why would you sell yourself short like that. Yes it's difficult, but he's really unpacking the most basic and obvious of subjects. Sein Und Zeit was written in 23? Niggers had a long time to clarify his topic in simpler terms and prove he was guilty of obfuscation and although great efforts were made, his work and its influence continues to build momentum and I predict we have yet to really confront the the impact of this old German mans studies. What heidegger accomplishes, in terms of clarification, is beyond the scope of any thinker before him (Lao tzu) or after him (Fritz Perls). I always return to heidegger. Even when I go off and study Lacan, or Plato or Hegel, Heidegger and his initial questioning remain looming over thought itself. It's crazy to even think about. I contemplated learning German specifically to read him in the original. His concepts of being and worldhood are being taught now at MIT with engineers trying to construct artificial intelligence. His findings are now the bedrock of the study of what it means to be intelligent itself.

You are literally cutting yourself off from the heroin of the philisophical world. Maybe you need time. Read around. But trust me when I say that it's not just cleverness.
