/lit/ - Literature

Not in the sense of that the arguments were radically new, but the historical context and how his points still have a lot of validity in modern society. It provides a clean thinking framework to deal with moral questions. And as far as I know from earlier philosophers, only Spinoza provides an analogous outlook.

Reading this book was entertaining, and gave me back a lot of my sanity last year.

I'm not even going to say it.

I love all philosophers I've ever read, myself. I see no reason to dislike anyone for a difference of opinion.

Spooked. I do not need to create a moral system, especially if I am to be obligated to it. I do not need an ideal self in the Übermensch, for I am already perfect. I do not need to even care about others, I care only because I do.
All Things are Nothing to me and I base my affairs on Nothing

Is that what Stirner meant with the egoist vs serving-the-egoist dichotomy?

I'm an amateur so take this with a grain of salt, but writing books aren't going to help you that much with writing. If you faithfully follow their guidelines, you're just going to write robotic and boring prose. However, if you're a complete amateur then they can be quite helpful for identifying and eradicating bad habits. What's most important, though, is to read and write a lot. The more you read, the more you'll see what constitutes good writing, and the more you write, the more you'll develop your writing skills.

With that said, I've read Pinker's "Sense of Style" and Garner's "Legal Writing in Plain English" for school and work, respectively. I thought they had good guidelines and I'd recommend them.
