1. It's inefficient and pointless. Most philosophers weren't good writers and their ideas are made more lucid by scholars who studied them. For example, Schopenhauer's Critique of the Kantian philosophy is a much better way to get into Kant than reading The Critique of Pure Reason, one of the most jumbled messes in history of written word.
2. No, you are a grown man with a grown penis. You are free to make your own destiny.

I'm going to stand behind Sadler, who says says reading primary is better. Good luck getting through this absolute unit.

Sure it is easier and clearer but then you rely on the interpretation of some one different. Which can be fine as a help. But shouldn't the endgoal be to have an interpretation and view that is truly yours?

>> No.12361928

OP, every piece of scholarship on Nietzsche is neutered in some way, most likely because of the dishonesty inherent in being a state philosopher.

>> No.12361949

>>12361923
Nope. Ideas matter. Who they come from doesn't. Learning latin and reading Principia Mathematica isn't essential to understanding newtonian physics, why should philosophy be treated differently? Risking misinterpretation is also something I would consider unacceptable, life's too short to carry through it with erroneous ideas.

When you read the cliff notes version of a philosophical work, you generally leap to your own ideas of where the summary could lead. Generally speaking, what you think of on your own from summaries tends to be inferior in depth to what the original author himself thought.
Reading specific authors is also a good way to gain sympathy for a movement or tradition you initially balk at, as you are forced to confront the thoughts of an actual human being and not the generalities thrust upon them.

Is philosophy really worth studying at all if its so subjective that its meaning changes with every interpretation?

>> No.12362633

>>12361725
No I'm not sure. Could you elaborate?

>> No.12362706

>>12362623
The questions of philosophy are ones which everyone has to find an answer for, whether reflected in depth or not. You have to have an implict criterion of determing truth, for example, otherwise you can't function in the world.
It's helpful to see what the broad strokes of human thought are in these fundamental questions which have no easy answers.

you are forgetting that there are pleasure in reading the often convoluted, flawed primary texts, and extracting meaning yourself. secondary texts are only to be used to make sure you're not going to embarass yourself in front of an obviously well read person but they should never be your primary font of knowledge.
