He won his Nobel prize for a number of his books, but none in particular.

Secondly, have you noticed that most Nobel prize winners for literature are usually in a weird, mediocre in-between? Especially in recent years, most winners of the prize aren't regarded as particularly valuable by academics, and plebs barely even know that a Nobel prize for literature even exists.

Also, Principia Mathematica

wolfe writes pretty well but man I forgot how much I detest fantasy

Is that Katy Perry or that British wench from that movie

>>6693609
I translated the title of the collection from Italian, so I'd say that it hasn't been published in the same form in English. The Hitler essay is called "Hitler nach Speer", so try and see if you can find at least that.

>>6693632
thanks anon. Why do you find him interesting?

>>6693625
I think it is Katy because of the tattoo on her arm. I feel feminine because I know this.

>>6693639
His view of Hitler is probably the most interesting I've ever read: he manages to express the Eros/Thanatos, Creation/Desctruction dichotomy of the paranoid while talking about the relationship between Reich architecture, mass and power as a projections of the dictator's body. It's almost mystic.

>>6693660
That sounds like Oswald Spengler. Especially the architecture bit

>>6693685
Haven't read him so I can't say anything on the comparison, but I think Canetti is a bit more on the left side of things, as far as I know.

18

Excession.

>>6693693
Spengler is basically a mystic, he thinks everything in a civilization is an expression of a world-feeling inherent in its people. What you just said about creation/destruction and the projections of power are what a lot of his writing is like. Except that he draws everything from one set of ideas per civilization, rather than a Hitler's projection being of his own, it would typical of all rulers and their architectures.

And yeah he's...bizarre politically, i think 'Determinist' would describe him best. He thought a Rome would occur in Europe, a universal empire. He didn't say much about whether this was good or desirable, he saw it as an inevitable step in a civilization's life. I wouldn't label him as rightwing or reactionary though.

>21
>White Noise/Understanding Media

great combo

>>6693709
Thanks for the explanation. I thought about getting his book, but I was a bit put off by how his ideas are, apparently, used by reactionary thinkers. Might give him another go.

The crux of Canetti's writing about Hitler and Architecture, though, was more about his paranoid personality, his will to be superior to everyone wlse in history than it was about him as a ruler. Still, I get what you're saying. and it's quite interesting.

18
Stoner

>>6693720
>was more about his paranoid personality, his will to be superior to everyone wlse in history than it was about him as a ruler
Ah ok, that sounds interesting. THis guys seems difficult to find online in English but I'm searching about.

And yeah a lot of very Right-wing people have used Spengler, he had no problem with Germany taking over Europe for example he just didn't like the Nazis or Hitler. Reactionaries can't really use him because he doesn't think 'going back' is possible at all, but he does talk about the 'end of art' and other reactionary topics.

His list of people he's influenced is pretty wide though https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Oswald_Spengler#Influence
both Heidegger and Wittgenstein are there for example

>>6693244
It's not the worst, but take it all with a big grain of salt. He is very biased from a time people thought they were on track to solve all of philosophy

>>6693758
As I said, that does sound interesting. Even more so considering I'm reading Being and Time in my spare time, so looking into Spengler may be even more rewarding. Thanks anon!

Aristotle's metaphysics

Gotta start somewhere ;^)

I started with Plato, actually. Aristotle is babby's second philosopher for me, and as I'm on book A right now, I'm sort of regretting my limited knowledge of presocratic thought.

Don't get me wrong though, Aristotle's dialectic use of the prior philosophers is admittedly quite effective (even if I don't get 100% of what each presocratic thinker's position is) and everything he's said about Platonism is brilliant. Ive just finally realized it's wise to pick up a summary of the early greeks, at minimum, before trekking onwards
