from LARP to LARP, what will come next?

His taxonomy of the human emotions is insanely autistic but at the same time hard to disagree with. I feel like if you memorized all the propositions and definitions and so forth you could use this knowledge to your advantage in life, for better or worse.

What does Spinoza make of consciousness?

I read a book that was basically a condensed version of the Ethics with selections from his other work as well. It's the only time my outlook on life has improved after reading a philosopher.

>>17390398
Why do you state it so in such a larpish fashion then?

>>17390501
They weren't autistic enough to question self-evidence yet.

>>17390398
KDM u write dis?

Based

this but complemented with Aristotles theory of emotions and you´ll become a mind reader

This is what I remember from the history of phil lectures I've attended
He calls consciousness "mind", and he thinks it's the idea of a body. When a body x is that body x, then it has also a representation (or "idea", to use Cartesian lingo) of the idea of the body x.
Every body that has a conatus also has a mind (this is a potential solution to the problem of other minds).
I don't remember exactly what the conatus is, but it had something to do with striving and self-preservation. If a body can self-preserve itself in time (if it can mantains its structures), then it has a conatus. This means that even rocks have minds, while gaseous and liquid bodies don't have one, although their components (i.e. their electrons) do, they just don't "add up" to a mind

Pretty based ngl

>>17392952
this. spinoza's autism magic literally taught me how to read normies minds. you should see the look on their faces when i predict what they're going to say every time. /lit/ needs to get it on this

>>17393149
Now go actually talk to people. Not write about talking to people while being severely autistic and reading shit like spinoza.

>>17393193
COPE

>>17393088
Being-in-the-wrong should've been Heidegger's central concept, which would end up as a self-help book for all autists like him

>>17393203
Says the guy making autistic calculations in his head about simple social interaction.

>>17393149
I mean the purpose of it is more to understand yourself, it really isnt that hard to understand other peoples emotions lmao
But yeah, Spinozas autism is god tier and /lit/ should pay more attention to it

>>17393270

>>17393281
>I mean

>>17393351
>lawlzz
kys brah

>>17393396
yawn. try again.

every opinion or view you adopt from a book is a larp. And I don't mean by definition. I mean it is in your nature, yes YOUR nature, to be inauthentic.

>>17393215
>authenticity
>a moral imperative
