If one were to *sniff* want to get into Zizek and his *sniff* ouevre, so on and so forth, then where should *sniff* one start?

>when the moment sublates just right

>the foreword is a decently written historical introduction to the author's aims and influences, without pleb commentary on the arguments

>And [Mishima] despised aged writers, to whom he devoted improprieties such as “the face of the intellectual whose youth is history horrifies me: it’s ugly and uncivil”.

Has your mom made dinner yet?

God exists as a social category independent of whether your belief is a first-person belief. The specific Judeo-Christian position that one needs to have a firm set of propositions in mind (I believe in One God...) for your belief to count, is just how it historically formed inside our tradition, but it's not the case for post-modern religiosity.

Can I study Lacan through him?

I hope to fuck it's Bell's Palsy. It's pretty much confirmed not a stroke, you don't get over strokes so easy.

the narratives are very clearly stated in what we do, not in what we say we do

yes, there's dissolution in the modern world, doesn't mean there aren't several narratives underlying that dissolution, even some of them celebrating the dissolution as something positive that we should embrace

I get your point, but what if the opposite were true?

so basically start with the gods and who they are, so I don't miss the point going over my head? No?
Are the story of the gods, and the general history of Greece, intertwined, or can I just read it separately?
Otherwise thanks

>*sniff*What is postmodernity? It reminds me of joke I hear in yugoslavia. A Serbian man is having sexual intercourse with a chicken, when a Croat walks buy and says "Where is the cow?" *sniff* and the man says "I have sold cow to a German man" and the croat says "I was speaking to chicken" and Serbian man says, "Oh, he does not understand. He is Polish" *sniff* like the cow, capitalist society is sold to the German when we are not looking, but the Polish is Marxist who do not speak this language, and therefore, *sniff* cannot understand language of capitalist system which is why they are fucked!

I'm legitimately afraid that he'll get #MeToo'd.

>can't deconstruct a children's book to find its inner meaning

how do you handle adult novels?

>ideology is at its most insidious when people aren't even aware they're consuming ideological propaganda. It works in them and through them, not merely just on them *sniff*

If you really want to know, just enroll in your local university and take a few philosophy classes. I'm not going to sit here and explain to you what philosophy is and why this cuckchad isn't doing it.

How do Into German Idealism?
I've read Descartes, Spinoza, Berkeley and a little bit of Leibniz. Locke made me fall asleep so I stopped. Is this enough background to start with the Germans?

What you're describing as ''taking sides'' is what they call, in critical theory, ideology. And if there's anything these guys teaching is that being in the middle doesn't exclude you from ideology, as you can never truly escape ideology, but you can critique it and, through dialectical discourse, be lucid in spite of it.

So my recommendations are: Zizek, Althusser and Adorno. They might seem too marxist for you, but trust me, they're what you're looking for.
