/lit/ - Literature

My layers may be covering loads of pain, but at least it is not a selfinflicted sickness, and my lungs & larynx are hovering sane.

>Is there any good romance literature written for men?

1. Romance, being a concrete form of love, which is universal, is not speciated by, or for, either of the two sexes, but, rather, it is typified by the quality of relation between them.

2. Read Vladimir Nabokov's more romantic works, such as "Mary", and "The Gift", and/or listen to Elmo's more romantic works:

Et cetera.

1. Love is simple & easy in its universality/famility, not sophisticated; what is sophisticated is the bondage that disgregates, and distorts, love.

2. There is no such thing as: "Greek love"; there may be phillic love for Greek/Hellenic things though: this type of love is particular; there are three cordiologically distinct species of concrete love: (I) comradeship/fellowship, (II) friendship, (III) romance.

>Performing virtuous acts consist in indulging other people's lack of virtue.

1. You mean: "(act of the virtue of) charity", in particular.

2. This does not necessarily entail that the recipients of charity lack virtue.


>E.g. giving alms to the poor means indulging their avarice and preoccupation with material wealth.

The ethicotechnical aspect of charity, which is governed by prudence, consists in the cordiological commission of love in general, and of alms in particular, not in imprudent distribution of wealth.

1. The ethicotechnical aspect of morality is governed by prudence, not by egoism.

2. Egoism leads to selfimplosion, not to cordiological charity.

Not necessarily, but being aspired in philosophy makes one more sensitive to love; more intellective to wisdom; more affective to fellows; philosophy provides a glimpse into how God sees, knows, loves, one.

How do I understand philosphy?
By loving Sofia; philosophy is a human science that reconciles bios(ophy) with theos(ophy).

>>18377245
More like: "essential rock odiosophers"; philosophy reconciles bios(ophy) with theos(ophy) —the perspired artbubble precipitates upon, and transcends, the world; sophists like the one in the image attached to your post do not love Sofia, nor themselves, because their soul sinks into the world.

>What are some philosophers that base their philosophy on nature?
>What I mean is something like Lao Tzu, he came to a lot of philosophical conclusions by just observing water.

1. You mean: "bios", not: "nature".

2. The Presocratics.

>Does this sort of philosophy hold more merit than philosophy that doesn't relate to nature?
All genuine philosophy regards nature, and the world, since philosophy is a human science; the best philosophers discern the reality of bios within nature as they realize theos within Sofia, and within themselves.

Truth is the substance that spins, and the current that flows; beauty is the trace that sparkles, and the form that rolls; the latter serves as the defining conduit to its source in nobility; the former serves as the radical & revolutional cord that facilitates this conduction.
