>>11334622
This chart is shit. If your going to include the hadiths in Islam, you should really include some of the writings of the Church Fathers. Add some Augustine, Chrysostom, and Maximus the Confessor. Reading the bible without the Church Fathers is what gave us protestantism.

>>11338976
Any intelligent person with an interest in mathematics would've learned these topics in high school. The books would be a good place to start for someone (beyond children) who has had literally no exposure to or idea of mathematics, but I doubt that hypothetical person would have the spatial reasoning skills to make it halfway through the chart. That being said, I don't doubt that those books could give someone a more thorough understanding of those topics if they wanted to read them.

>>11339068
what should I do if I studied all the topics on the chart in high school and need to be refreshed on them before I go on. what should I do?

>>11339146
Wikipedia is the easiest, but most textbooks do a good job of reviewing what is necessary for the rest of the book within the first chapter or so.

If anyone has any recs of any kind in evolutionary biology I'd be grateful.

I’m talking about that Walras book. You read Walras’ book one time and then the one sentence Keynes devoted to him in his General Theory shows you how deeply he misinterprets the meaning of interest for Walras. Keynes thinks Walras determines the interest from supply and demand, like classical economists.

Walras book really pre-emptively BTFO Keynes General Theory in many different ways, but the interest under their two systems is determined in roughly the same way: through an application of the quantity Theory of Money.

Anyway Walras was objectively one of the best economists.

>>11340962

Are their any ways of making charts for your favourite books similar to the charts used on /mu

Heh

Ok /lit/, I'm looking for a specific type of books. I don't really have a name for them, but mainly they are ones that mix (preferably ancient) history with myth, play with metatextuality, and insert a little philosophy into it. Think of:
>Joseph and His Brothers by Mann
>Borges' entire work
>Our Ancestors by Calvino
>Baudolino by Eco
>The Glory of the Empire by Dormesson
I guess you could call these 'borgesian' or 'magical realist historical' books. Might make a chart, because I've read plenty of stuff like this.

>>11334651
>don't read what i dont like

Well, I was going to read an annotated version of the origin of species, which commented on developments after Darwin and so on but was warned against it because of the lack of focus on genes.
And I've avoided the Dawkins stuff on that goodreads list because it's a name I've been trained to avoid.
I've since read On the Origin of Species and would like some contemporary reading.

What? Varieties does nothing to disprove atheism, it only demonstrates the pragmatic utility of religious feeling. Any intelligent atheist taps into this, embracing religious experience while at the same time dismissing belief in God on an academic, technical level. Generalized faith does not require absolute belief.

The Selfish Gene by Dawkins was a super influential book so it’s worth reading, as well as The Extended Phenotype, which is a far more technical and original treatise.

However it’s by no means the last word on the topic, and I’d also recommend The Genial Gene by Joan Roughgarden, which is a direct response. The Social Conquest of the Earth by EO Wilson is another book which presents an opposing thesis to Dawkins.

A bunch of books by Stephen J Gould are worth checking out. The Structure of Evolutionary Theory is his massive summary of everything, but early books like Ontogeny and Phylogeny are also very good. Not about evolution per se but his book ‘Mismeasurement of Man’ is a powerful rebuttal to books like The Bell Curve.

The Triple Helix by Richard Lewontin is great. It’s basically just affirming that evolution needs to be thought in a way that always keeps in mind the environment an organism lives.

That article is really great by the way.

I'm not really sold on that desu. Pseudohistory brings to mind shit like the 'ancient aliens' meme or deliberate forgeries. The themes of these books are more like enriching the mundane stuff of the past, based on existing myths.

>>11346577
Try with Cultural History movements like Everyday History or authors like Georges Duby, Philippe Ariès, Robert Darnton, Jacques Le Goff (He has a book about heoric figures, legends and marvels during the middle ages. I don't remember the name, though).

>>11347801
What a waste of time imo, I agree with Schopenhauer completely on this.
'Great books' don't only have value compared to crappy books, they have value on their own.
There are also enough 'great books' which are completely different so that you can see the others in a new light after reading one.
