/lit/ - Literature

What do atheists believe reality is like if they don't have a God? What is their philosophy and metaphysics? Or do they just not think about this and just stay in their bubbles and keep their ears shut?

Was private property a mistake?

What classes are we taking frens?

Well of course not. You should feel free to disregard the Bible altogether if you're not reading it for religious reasons. What are you going to find but a few Shakespeare quotations?

Should I major in English, History, or Philosophy?

Are notions of enlightenment and transcendence all hubris?

i read this thoroughly half a year ago and i even took notes but i forgot everything
should i just end it?

Philosophy is fucking gay. i can't believe I wasted 3 years studying the thoughts of literal autists.

I only this week started systemic study of writing style of best-sellers and comparing it to how complete flops write. Writing book that isn't best-seller material is waste of time. So many books published every year it's actually cringe to say you are author if it isn't known work.

Starting this thread again. What are some good secondary and supplementary texts on philosophical topics? I think they would be a great help for those of us that lack the time, skill or tools for doing philosophy entirely on our own. Recommendations on any topic is welcome, but I am personally interested in books Kantian thought and its relations to his immediate predecessors and contemporaries.

I've been told that creative writing courses in the USA would teach you to write fast food literature in the cheapest most effective way possible so as to become a professional hack. And that, essentially, people with talent would not need courses on writing so long as they practice on their own.

Is it true?

Can you recommend any supplemental material that will help me understand the Greeks better? I'm afraid to make my way through the Greeks without comprehending their points

Or do I just go search for editions with extensive annotations and base my understanding off of that and what I get from my reading?

FUCKING STOP

The important aspect about academia is that you learn to do methodological research, are able to critically analyse other people's work and your own and build/critique for the advancement of your field.

Reading wikipedia articles might expand your knowledge regarding topics on the field but it won't develop aforementioned skills or contribute to it as a whole.

the sound of laughter disgusts me. When it's not an obnoxious halfwit braying right in my fucking ear or a clutch of loathsome roastwhores fake-surpressed-laughing at outgroupers it's the shameful sound of me, the parts of me I hate most, faking it. It would be one thing if I was doing it for a good reason, or had some hope of succeeding. Why do I shuck and jive for the pleasure of people I can't stand? For their approval? I know damn well that's worthless to me. So why?
