I can't not see Obama when I look at that face. Like second-term Obama, once the face has longed and he knows the backup nuclear codes and knows that the aliens are real and there's nothing he can really do and all the rest of it.

In principle I would like to read Arendt at some point but let's be honest, it's a woman and I have too many other important things on my plate.

This is an awesome book.

Has anyone read this? Particularly the chapter on education? Looking for someone to chat about that with.

Her erudition in ancient greek history and philosophy is incredible. I guess it makes sense for the student of Heidegger and Jaspers, ffs. Imagine having them as your mentors.

Women make great helpmeets and scholars to history when they apply themselves, and thus prepare companion works. I think of Freeman's books on the Presocratics, and other women's treatments of classical subjects which I won't name so as not to identify myself too closely.

The entirety of Wittgenstein's work is only made available to us English speakers through a woman.

One of my mates, who is a bit misogynistic and loves Wittgenstein, did not know that the translator, Anscombe, was female, hahahahaha, and was even in denial over it.

You should do the tack I took above and see translation, historical analysis etc as "women's work". Think of Constance Garnett. That will be helpful to you both to enjoy the fruits of women's writing labor while maintaining a misogyny, minus any cognitive dissonance. I am not being sarcastic, it's a healthy attitude with which to make sense of culture.

in school. generally speaking we're taught either German or Russian as a 2nd foreign language after English. other languages like French Spanish or Italian are non-existent here.

yes. I'm hoping to acquire Russian and French or Italian in the future after I'm finished with my studies.
>And you're writing great english, too. Are your friends like this, too, or are you just good at acquiring languages?
thank you but it's really nothing special. I come from an upper-middle class family. when I was a kid my parents would send me to extra-curricular English classes to make sure I was better prepared than other kids. I guess I should be thankful but I didn't like the competitive atmosphere of it. my friends come from similar backgrounds but I wouldn't say that's very common. I guess most people have an intermediate knowledge of English and forget their second foreign language

How do you generally learn languages? Do you study from a textbook or immerse yourself in some other way? And isn't polish supposed to be incredibly difficult to acquire?

>And isn't polish supposed to be incredibly difficult to acquire?
For a foreigner I guess so. I wouldn't recommend learning it to a foreigner from outside of the Slavic circle. The learning process is tedious and all things considered it's not that rewarding as only Polish people use it (unless you desperately want to have a Polish wife lol). Russian is a much better option. It's the biggest Slavic language and is widely used even outside of Russia in former Soviet republics. Once you've learned Russian Polish and any other Slavic language will be grammatically easy because they all share the same grammatical base but it has vastly different vocabulary and phonetic patterns which make it still challenging
