/lit/ - Literature

i'd argue that there isn't one and that it's very unlikely that there'll ever be one.

FW was the final boss of literature in that the kind of literature this refers to lives from utilising and portraying something (language, culture, characters, events) already established in a refreshing way. that's why there's such a thing as a somewhat clearly defined lit narrative across the ages that most great writers will have studied to some extent and which they pick up on in their writing - unlike a lot of philosophers, who are often more particular and more concerned with a particular branch of view of philosophy. FW was supposedly the work that stretched this literary-narrative-coherence to a degree and included so much "established information" with the end of portraying the entirety of human-ness at that point where out-doing it would be pointless both because it becomes utterly incomprehensible and the task gets harder as over time wordviews and narratives become more and more fractured.

philosophy on the other hand has always been much more fractured and, if anything, lives from the kind of abstract navel gazing that 21st century cultural phenomena lend themselves to so well. philosophies is about abstract particularities, mind you over history a lot philosophers have also been mathematicians, physicists, etc. literature is about sharing your personal experience on a more direct, intuitive, emotional level.
