/lit/ - Literature

I understand Nietzsche. I dismiss him and walk my own path, not concerned with what Nietzsche would've liked me to do. Thereby i have fulfilled him.

In aesthetics, and especially in architecture, beauty has taken a back seat in favor of utilitarianism or social critique. In some cases, people even find a focus on beauty to be vulgar, or pseudo-fascist (as is the case for some feminists).
Why has beauty fallen out of favor as something so important? Are there any books that deal with this? The only one i can think of is Roger Scruton.

I only know of that eco-fascist who wants to depopulate the earth

Looks like the Kali Yuga is entering its conclusive states, lads.

ITT: Unpopular literary/philosophical opinions.
>I think Dostoeyvsky is better than Tolstoy
>I like Death on Credit more than Journey, mostly because of the latter's second half.

Who or what exactly is Nietzsche's Ubermensch supposed to be? I hear it's often misunderstood, but no one can really explain it to me.

>tfw considering going into grad school for philosophy and literature
Is it really as horrible and cult-like as they say, or am i being meme'd?

>author/philosopher calls someone 'bourgeoise'
>this is supposed to be bad
why?
