>Also is there someone that is German that wants to correspond with me in letters? I want to practice my German
Sure, pitch me an email. You delete it a minute later if you like

120€ for each of those Quantum Field Theory textbooks

He's writing at a time where formal logic is developed (the mathematical logicism project in Emgland/Austria in particular) and everything was ideosynchratic.
Working through a 200 page book about formal logic sure would be helpful.

desu I don't get how anybody who didn'y do mathematical logic or analytic philosophy can take anythung away from it (except then reading the last page and smaking sense of it for oneself and agreeig with it)

I'm speaking about the Tractatus here btw., the secind book is less formal but harder to get

I'm Austrian and when I read the last pages of Stirners Einzige und sein Eigentum I was kinda shocked that he does some funny things with the German language that just get lost in the translations.
Like Hegels "sublimation", 'Aufhebung,' has many meaning (amusignly somewhat going in opposite directions, from 'lifting' to 'keeping')
Stirner starts with, and soon repeats several times
"All things are nothing to me" (in the translation)
Which in the German version really is
'Ich hab mein Sach auf Nichts gestellt', or like some wiuld translate
"I put my cause ti nothing"
Here in the introduction he introduces his egoist and expresses that he discards all causes that are actually the causes of others - he cleaned up and put his cause to nothing.
However, "Etwas auf Etwas stellen" means to put something on something (like a glass on a table) and so at the end he comes back to the beginning,
"Ich hab mein Sach auf nichts gestellt"
but now uses the same words with different santics:
The ego, his "creative nothing" is Nichts (nothing) and, free from spooks, arrived at only working towards his own cause.
He says that others causes are like a weight on ones shoulders, and in "putting your cause on/to nothing", he makes a point about the creative nothing again, the nothing he puts his cause on (like a weight) is the strange self.
Probably explained this badly, but my point is that his end is his beginning in another reading of the words, and this is completely lost in the translations

Austrian reporting in.


The cover title translates to
>91 Years
>In Faith, Fight and Victory
but I don't think it has been translated

Here someone is selling it too

Must be a biography of this guy

Also, for people interested, this week some guy uploaded an Englisch translation of Grothendiecks baby, posted it here

Good night.

I don't know what it has to do with me sleeping well.
I'm actually a physics PhD and I'm always in working mode. If I were on the team to develop touchscreen technology, I'd accept the 40h payment or the 25h one. In the second case, I'd come up with the same thing, but I'd probably do more private physics theory in my spare time and finish more slowly.

Univalence teaches that everything you would get out of sex, you can achieve autonomous, if only you go deep inside yourself. i.e. it's okay if you just fap the pain away.

On a very related note, I also read what (>>6622012) read.

Finishing my PhD at the German Aerospace center. Officially I'm doing aerospace engineering, practically it's computational plasma chemistry, but I'm really a theoretical physicist.
I'm really into (quantum) field theories from the perspective of modern (intuitionistic) type theories, but that's not job-able and so I do that research in my spare time. What I'll job after might be just to get some money on the side. I'm disillusion from both academia and industry - tbh in the next few years I'll be mostly interested in fucking young chicks.
