/lit/ - Literature

That depends. Are you going to read them?

Could've been better spent.

>>18498845
I've read 20 pages of the Frankl book. I want to devour it now.
I've read a bit of the Sartre book, seems interesting.
Have to read the Fanon book for my thesis.
Nietzsche has always been interesting for me.

So, probably yes.

>>18498844
That's a lot of money for four thin paperbacks.

>>18498851
>Have to read the Fanon book for my thesis.
Of course, like a proper eurocuck you have to read african stuff.

>>18498863
I chose it myself.

>>18498853
It was 16€ per book, and there was a buy 3 get 4 deal.
Finland is extortionate.

>>18498867
Nice one, cuck. Are you looking for applause now?

>>18498893
Fuck off racist
There's a lot of good African literature like Things Fall Apart and Half of a Yellow Sun

>>18499040
>two decent books from the longest inhabited continent

>a lot

Teaching black Africans to read and write was the greatest accomplishment of the European race.

>>18499063
who hurt you lol. And it's not like you are so much more intelligent than them or that it was you who taught them the knowledge.

Purebred cuckold, enjoy being a schizo for the rest of your life

Nigga, order from Bookdepository with a British IP.

>another pseud who is going to attempt Nietzsche without starting with the Greeks
Sad. Many such cases.

And yes, I know for a fact you didn't read the Greeks. Don't ask me how I know, I just do.

OP googled "books that will make me look smart" and bought the top results.

>>18499230
Will it make me look smart though??

>>18499216
Okay.

>>18499274
Honestly no. You goofed with the Nietzsche. Should have gotten Birth of Tragedy or Beyond Good and Evil.
And the other ones are just CIA psyop Marxist indoctrination books.

>>18498844
these are all bangers

>>18498844
no way books are that expensive in yurop

>>18498844
You could have got those for less than half the price used

Stfu faggot, stop gatekeeping.
This board is full of people who barely read and when someone does don't demotivate him by saying he has to read the whole phil history before he can read what he really wants.

>>18499350
I'm clearly shitposting with that post, but there is some level of truth to it. There is no point in attempting late stage philosophy if you have literally no background in it.
Hell, even read a book that does the history, like Russell or Strauss. But diving right into the deep end without getting your feet wet in the kiddie pool first is only asking for trouble and OP will get to page 20 and ragequit because he will have no fucking clue what Nietzsche is talking about.

Whats that fanon book about?

>>18498844
Turbo normie stuff, did you buy them new from a Waterstones? Anyway, the Sartre trilogy is good, or at least it was when i was a teenager.

>>18499374
Bro I know Nietzsche's ideas and I've been reading them in bite-sized pieces though analysis, discussion and podcasts for about a year now. Not just Nietzsche. I finally now want to read the source material of where all these interpretations and analyses came from.
Quite presumptuous of you to assume that I have no clue about any preexisting philosophy.

>>18499396
how will OP ever recover?

>>18499378
The phenomenon of black people have been thrown into civilization by whites, on whites' terms. Knowledge is produced on whites' languages, on whites' epistemology. The black elite becomes so using whites' oppression tools, and their rule benefit white interests.

I actually have never read the book.

>>18499314
Maybe but so do Marxists and niggerlovers.

>>18499412

>>18499040
>you can read all of Africa's best lit in an afternoon
Really makes ya think.

>>18499374
Then you could recommend earlier works from Nietzsche to get familiar with his ideas instead of talking about completely different writers from completely different ages. If he would be interested in that he would have read it, but he is interested in Nietzsche.

>>18499400
I can tell by that book selection and how you came to pick those books that yes you have no preexisting knowledge. It's literally a "I want to graduate to serious literature" starter pack. I know because you picked Zarathustra. Might as well have bought Sophie's World too while you were at it.
And on top of that these books will sit on your shelf for months in pristine unread condition because you have no intention of attaining knowledge, but just want the status of having hip Nietzsche and Sartre books on your shelf because you were told in PHIL 101 that these are smart guys.
This whole thread reeks of massive faggotry and the fact you felt it was worthy of its own thread proves that people are right and correct for mercilessly making fun of you.

>>18499440
If I'm interested in quantum physics should I not first understand everything that led up to it?

>>18499412
So isolationism good when not done by white people?

>>18499440
Reading Nietzsche without at least having some background of the German Idealists and Schopenhauer is like attempting a Terence Tao book when you're still on precalculus.
You can't cut corners.

>>18499453
When the author explains it in his own words you don't have to read every physicist separately.

>>18499454
Yes. It's not your burden to civilize the natives.

>>18499447
lol
I bought a book because I want to read it.
You seem to be overly obsessed with status, instead of concerning yourself with actual ideas that are to be presented.

>>18499518
They never argue how things should have been, only that the way things turned out to be is bad.
And nobody is talking about global revolution here

>>18499400
There's a Nietzsche chart and it recommends reading Zarathustra as the absolute last one in all his stuff, that anon is right. That's a bit overkill but it should at least never be read first.

>>18499518

I'm studying at a university in western Europe too, it's not like I haven't seen dozens of students just like you or haven't gotten to interact with people of different races.
There's nothing hateful or obtuse in simply pointing out that black Africa has yet to produce anything close to the value and worth of Chinese, Indian or European civilization. And taking a look at today's Africans (wherever they might live) I see no evidence they ever will.
Africa will become richer because the whole Earth (according to the same people who predicted that India will be a superpower by 2020) will become much richer, supposedly by 2100 the average Bangladeshi will have the same standard of living as an average dutch citizen today.
I don't personally believe in these utopian claims myself. You sound like you think Africa will transform into some kind of Wakanda when most likely it will remain the poorest continent on Earth.

this is definitely the starterpack for a young conservative leaning black guy who got into this pseud philosophy side of youtube watching peterson videos on what it means to be le existentialist Einzelgänger archetype who takes up responsibility etc etc. You're checking all the boxes of someone who doesn't have a proper historical account on philosophy and just reads Nietzsche in a vacuum as a cope.

You're also obviously not a reader, if you were then you wouldn't have wasted 50 fucking euros on 4 slim paperbacks. Don't be surprised for being made fun of.

This is the funniest thread on /lit/ in months. My sides are obliterated.

I hear you. However, by trade I'm not necessarily referring to trade to Africa's benefit. More like extraction of resources. Neocolonialism under the guise of development of the EU-Africa strategy.
The EU has a full draft of it now, Spain & Portugal are making their plans, Germany slowly creeping on Namibia, France controls most of West African currencies. The possibility for "cooperation" is immense.

Wrong, what you're advocating is white flight on a global scale and it is as racist as racism gets. The simple truth is that whites should not be allowed to exist period. Whether they colonize or isolate they are in the moral wrong. The only way we as a species can properly progress is if whites are bred out of existence.
