I really dislike continental and marxist philosophy, so I'm not sure.

Yes, I know little about Derridia and should probably read a bit of everything

Me too.

It would be a sin to have a thread about essays and not mention Michel de Montaigne. You can find a single volume of his collected works at most bookstores, I would imagine.

>> No.3078286

Yeah, Montaigne's essays are cool.

Read Eliot and Coleridge's criticism, too.

You most likely haven't even read any.
