Your sentences are very short, and you rely heavily on sentence fragments, though all I read was the image. Substitute some proportion of your periods for commas, please.

Stupidly simplify the contents of a book and others try to guess which book it is.

>>Yeah philosophy certainly never addressed that question until Marx and Nietzsche
Exactly correct. Genealogical inquiry's disillusionment with the image of thought as truth (philosophy as the will to truth) overturns this naive perspective which was held by philosophy up until this point. Before Marx and Nietzsche, thinking presupposes that if it can justify itself, then it is truth which it has found. But Marx and Nietzsche ask the question "what are you justifying yourself for?" Any more questions?

Very left brained opinion. I would argue that some ideas in “philosophy” can’t be properly expressed except through literature. Confining ideas to the extremely restricting form of a treatise and words may stop them from ever being expressed properly, which could be done through visual medium or a story. I would say philosophy is a system to understand the ideas, aesthetics, consequences humans put forth in life and by therefore by extension literature. Philosophy doesn’t make literature redundant, but rather philosophy wouldn’t be needed if literature didn’t exist

I just finished the penguin collection of his plays and this wasn't in it. I suppose it's not considered "essential" for understanding

I don't hate him, but I hate that he's become the Jesus for 20-something shitheads who drink red wine, listen to Serge Gainsbourg and larp as deep and bohemian individuals when they're just pretentious fags.

I'm just not proud of it man, not in the slightest. It's true that nobody saw me but I didn't really need to do that bro, it was just so wrong.

Then how come you have never had sex with one?

This cat looks like Guenon.

I'm 400 pages into Ulysses and I have to say it's pretty boring. Gravity's Rainbow was a LOTR more interesting.

Have I been filtered?

I'm just getting into Christianity and I have a question that I think some anons can answer:
Isn't it a sin to kill another person?
Why does it say on the Bible, for example, that the woman that is cheating on his man should be killed for her acts?
It also mentions that the guy that was with her should be killed too.
Please explain, Christibros.

I think Benatar does more to discredit antinatalism than anyone. Nevertheless I am still a fervent antinatalist but for entirely different reasons than most.

> How he doubted something, set it as a question and solved it by dialectical arguments.

That's not enough to make someone a philosopher. Otherwise market analysts and pundits would be philosophers as well. To be a philosopher proper, one must create or adapt a view of reality from first-principles, starting from an ontology, moving to a metaphysics and then an epistemology and finally an ethical system. And even depending on how convincingly he does this, he could still be categorized as a mere sophist.
