/lit/ - Literature

Any sort of book counts

Do you think people exaggerate the difficulty of this book? It seems like it would be difficult for people without any knowledge in philosophy let alone idealism, but he wrote this as a (not greatly written) introductory book for laymen. Compared to many of his successors and even some of his predecessors it’s not mind numbingly hard

Which philosophy book in your opinion has the most literary value?

Which piece of nonfiction should we as a modern society take the most seriously?

Is this the most difficult book ever written? I’ve never read it but that’s all I hear

What is the least escapist book ever written?

I’ve read what you fags told me to read building up to this guy, I read the Greeks, the bible, Aquinas, Augustine, Boehme, the idealists such as Kant, Schelling, Fichte, even Schopenhauer. I also read post-hegel philosophy like Stirner, Nietzsche, Marx, Heidegger, I haven’t went beyond Heidegger chronologically. I also read some of the most difficult fiction out there, I even got through a fair bit of finnegans wake (granted I was lost most of the time but it was entertaining and fun to work it out) but I can’t for the life of me understand what the fuck is going on here bar a few sentences at most, this book is filtering me hard /lit/ I’m really fucking trying, it’s killing my brain
