Nice one anon. This board is too full of nonliterature related threads. Sorry I have nothing to contribute.

>>17753190
WTF. Get that charlatan Hitchens off here. And where is Hume, hmm?? Or Johnson? Or the great Tory poets?

>>17753190
Extremely based

This is quite a mix - I hope some of the books explain the difference between actual Toryism, and the crypto-whiggery that the "Conservative" party has embodied for 2 centuries odd.

>the other side has an actual ideology at the back of their beliefs even if it’s a crap ideology
>shit we need one too
>quick let’s create a posthoc ideology out of the many incompatible aspects of our worldview including neoliberal capitalism, Anglican “Christianity” and the enlightenment
“Conservatives” are nearly as cringe as communists.

I don't think that's a very fair criticism. Conservatism, liberalism and the labour movement are all rather fluid traditions rather than static ideologies like Marxism. Plus OP's chart is not very representative. Notice the oversaturation of two recent, very visible "public intellectuals", and the hastily assembled collection of older texts probably taken from the Wikipedia page on conservatism.

High Toryism was a coherent ideology, but was put to death as a political entity in the 18th century.
It makes more sense to see the current "Conservative" party as successors to the Whigs, who have made peace with the monarchy and aristocracy after the latter have been so entirely gutted of any true functional power as to render them harmless.

Oh fuck off

Don't like it? Make your own.

>>17753217
>Anglican “Christianity”

>dissing on a school of thought that goes back 1600 years and goes back 500 years as an institution because its's not "conservative"

That’s fair, I was mostly referring specifically to Scruton and his associates (including Thatcher) who specifically decided they needed to formulate an ideology

o único problema com livros em português é que todos os autores que li até agora com exceção do Assis tendem se levar a sério demais. Parece que a arte da ironia e da sutileza foi totalmente esquecida. Me sinto um autista lendo Pesssoa entre outros.

Can someone post a philosophy one? For a grug who has only read fiction

These two are the only ones I have

>>17754263
Does someone have a similar chart for the Romans? like 8-10 essential books?

>>17754286
This is really good

I can't believe there still isn't a Kierkegaard chart.

Here is a shitty screenshot because the actual image resolution is too big for /lit/. I created this chart for /his/ and is a compilation of different lit rec threads and of other sources for World War I books.

Shit list

O Eça e o Camilo Castelo Branco são 2 autores portugueses que fazem um excelente uso da ironia nas suas obras.

>>17753190
What do you use to make these charts? I'd like to make one.

>>17755612
Why would that be included

>>17755643
Microsoft Paint.

Conservatism as you know it has always had a liberal root. Specially the Anglo brand of conservatism, which was exported together with Westminsterism.

Does anyone have a monarchist chart. I have one (pic related) but it's pretty bad. Doesn't have to be OC

>>17753190
Daily reminder to not hear a word uttered by chinlets like Hitchens.

>>17756000
*?

>>17756000
you won't find any good "monarchist" books, because the foundation of monarchism isn't political

I'm not proud about it, although it's not bad

>>17756015
He's a terrible article writer, but he's a great author imo

>>17756086

>>17756327
No need to be rude.

>>17755728

>>17756327
sorry :(

>>17756327
which is the best? no need to be original

>>17756875
if you want it to be more /lit/ and less pop, add this, remove Lovecraft, Orwell, Clarke, Asimov, Gibson and Cixin Liu

>>17753190
>Conservatism
