/lit/ - Literature

I'd recommend the Analects of Confucius and the Mencius

I should also note that for me philosophy plays a very big role in works of literature being able to pull off their themes, especially one like Mono No Aware.

It wouldnt be enough to make me experience the feeling of mono no aware when it is apparent and moving

That might just be me though. And just reading a book that made me feel it but not think would still be a wonder.

/lit/, who and what do I study to prepare for analytic philosophy?

Specifically which Greeks and onward

Slight digression.

Anyone here read his short stories Good Old Neon, Oblivion, and The Soul is Not A Smithy?

What did you think of it? I honestly was disappointed. All those gymnastics and nothing to show for it.

>Rebirth is in fact a central concept in Buddhism

That would depend entirely on the Buddhist sect we are dealing with. Most of Zen completely dismisses bhava.

>I'd say it's more or less clearly defined in the Sutta Pitaka or the Agamas.
I meant as a problem for our dear OP.

I personally don't have a problem with anything I listed in the above, though I know it can be very troublesome for someone to try and understand Buddhism when their practice of philosophy can be very different from the western approach.

what's the appeal of poetry and novels when painting and cinema exist?

Lolita or The Trial

Any advice?
