/lit/ - Literature

Whenever i see the ideas of a philospher laid out and explained i ask myself "so what?" and realize that most philosophy is a jerk-off with barelly any implications to anything else (expect for pedantic humanities writers who want to "spice up" their text by referencing a philosopher). Philosophy might be one of the least cost-effective uses of ink ever invented.

Or maybe i'm just another working class quarterwit blinded by objectivism who can't understand how any all these ramblings about terms such as "phenomenology", only used in philosophical texts, can be of any relevance to anything or anyone besides as a sample of someone's supposed inteligence. I wish someone would enlighten me, because whenever i see a philosopher being discussed or referenced in a text from other humanities, i see nothing of real value beig added regarding the subject matter.

Confess, /lit/: What classics did you disliked since the beginning but you put on the effort to finish it just to check that box?
