Does morality depend on the falsity of nominalism?

[Anonymous No.11257264]

Writing a piece exploring masculinity, am debating around what to do with a certain character.

He's the kind of follower of a ruler who has been forced into his situation by the death of his family members, the ruler was never meant to be in power and viewed himself and was viewed by others as the spare.

The follower like character I've been thinking about making him either a veteran or having an older brother who died in war. Which do you think would give me more range? I'm edging towards the older brother thing because it can echo the journey of the leader and his arch whilst highlighting both how each deals with a similar but still wholly different situation.and the ease of relationship forming based on commonalities.

Plus the whole broken vet trope is a little overdone. Thoughts?

[Anonymous No.11257278]

>>11257225
It's an interesting notion, reading the Greeks would certainly help to understand the roots of certain tropes and character archetypes as well as journeys that are echoed across different pieces of literature.

If you want to write fiction, read Homer, Aeschylus, and at least have an understanding of Platonism. But yeh for creative writing (at least if you're gonna be writing in English) I think the canon is more like,
>Shakes
>Cervantes
>Melville
>Dosto
>Kafka
>Faulkner
>Nabokov
>Borges
>early Pynchon
Also /lit/ doesn't like it but most of the fictitious greatness and creativity these days is actually coming out of fantasy writers such as Gene Wolf and Jack Vance. Good pomo prose stylists don't exist anymore.

I say make him a vet. His is a life of willing self-sacrifice while, on the other hand, a life created by the sacrifice of others is forced upon the ruler character. Their commonality should be less about the experiences they share and more about their common virtues.

Just read them, and pick up some supplementary materials. Lit is obsessed with the idea of being "prepared" for texts before starting them. The reality is that the only way to really get the most out of a text is through rereading it over time and reading supplementary analysis and essays now and then.

I dunno your personal situation but this advice is pretty universal - bring a book to work/school and any time you have a break of at least 20 minutes, read. When your work/school day is done, get into the habit of turning off tv/phone at ~8 and read until you fall asleep. If you are /NEET/ this summer, read when you wake up until the afternoon, then continue with your bohemian lifestyle in the evening. You should aim for 60-80 pages/day if you want to become well read. Prioritize your friends over reading though.

“We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means. I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it's a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it.”

I'm fairly new to serious literature, I've read a lot of history books (The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich- Shirer, FDR- Ted Morgan, the first couple of Caro's LBJ series), so it's not as if I'm someone with a low attention span who can't read, but I feel like I struggle to get into serious fiction books.

I'm looking for the source of this little story, I can't remember or find about it anywhere. It's quite short and vague, I believe it is from the Middle-East, but I'm not sure. As I remember it:

>There was a traveller who found himself at a bifurcation on the road. Between the two paths, he noticed there was a stone with something inscribed on it. He read it: "Turn me over". And so he did, turning over the stone to see that on the other side it was written: "Why do you want to know more when you haven't made any use of what you know already?"

What do you take of this little situation by the way? I think it means a lot of things and I change my mind about it all the time.

So I have a bible question.

IF the Apocrypha is included in the KJV, is there any difference between the number of books included in the KJV and a Catholic bible like the Douay-Rheims?

I know that 3 and 4 Estras and the Prayer of Mannaseh are included in the KJV apocrypha but not in Catholic editions in almost any respect except as an occasional index as it's own 'Apocrypha', so now I'm confused as to whether a KJV+Apocrypha actually has more books than various Catholic editions.

Practice and experience my dude. Keep looking up themes, discuss them with people, think about them. Start to explore your own thoughts before you look to other people's and then compare your outcomes. Look to reputable sources for literary criticism. Immerse yourself in it and trust yourself to learn, it will come to you.

There are lots of great lectures by great professors on classic works of fiction on YT. That's another thing, you need an understanding of some sort of literary canon before you start barfing out ideas. Read some classics, there's a lot more scholarship on them anyways. Get an anthology, you don't have to read all of it.

It will come to you, you just have to practice.

“Rub your eyes, and look again at love, with love.”
— Rumi
What does it mean

[Anonymous No.11276799]

>>11275923
Read Varieties of Religious Experience by William James, one of the best works of phenomenology ever.

Then read Wittgenstein's brief thoughts on religion in "Lectures and Conversations on Aesthetics, Psychology and Religious Belief"

Beliefs aren't atomic things - it's not an issue of "can I, or do I, believe or not that the red object I'm looking at is blue." It's an issue of your total experience of the world, your whole lebenswelt with all its combined assumptions and hunches and hopes and wonders and principles and certainties and uncertainties about truth/purpose/motivation, changing. And since it's all an interconnected whole, changes at one place in the structure affect other parts of the structure. When someone says, "I believe in God," they don't mean "I believe the red object is blue, just to be stubborn," or as a lie. It means that their combined sense of the truth of things, of the world and what it's all for, includes God - or something like God, or a hope that leans "toward" God without being sure of God etc.

For me personally, what happened was that I studied phenomenology and deconstruction until I realized we moderns actually have absolutely zero certainty about anything in our scientific researches, and most scientists are imposing reductive metaphysical assumptions on reality and on their explanations of consciousness especially. When I realized that all these experts are applying a VERY arbitrary and closed-minded just-so story to reality, NOT out of epistemic correctness or rigorus, but because in our era it's simply fashionable and emotionally satisfying to be what James calls (in his first lecture on Pragmatism) a "tough-minded" materialist-empiricist, I didn't just go: "Well I'm dogmatically religious now." But I did have this new, fundamentally different sense of wonder at the world, with a radical openness to hearing the other explanations or suggestions that were out there.

From there my belief in God developed into something like: We have not yet surpassed Nietzsche's difference between description and explanation in Gay Science §112. So far, Kant is still essentially right, and we are all Kantians. We seem to have *some* knowledge of material reality, some ability to manipulate it and do interesting things, but we have no true understanding of it from its inside, of its purposes or design or laws for example - and even our concepts, like "purpose" and "design" and "laws," break down when we try to crack the insides. So since we're dealing with (1) radically open lines of questioning, about all these things, and also (2) a world in which we still have to act, experiment, keep being wrong until we're right, why don't we take (again, with James) a "tender-minded" approach to metaphysics and ontology? Why don't we use ideas like God, purpose, soul/consciousness, as placeholders to guide our inquiry?

[Anonymous No.11276803]

>>11276799
>>11275923
James's Varieties is good for combining this epistemological method, of tender-mindedness, with the feeling of hopeful exhilaration that comes from a truly open inquiry. Every single one of these questions - why do I feel joy, why does joy exist, why would random matter develop the feeling of morality, of veneration and worship of divineTruth, why is there something instead of nothing, why would a concept of God exist at all?! etc. - isn't just some kind of annoying "problem" to be be "resolved," but an exciting mystery, so mysterious that even beginning to investigate it literally transforms the investigator and his consciousness out of necessity.

The more I've thought about these things, the more I notice that James' hopefulness is confirmed and not denied. The more I learn about the history of philosophy, science, the more I learn about what thresholds human knowledge REALLY stands at - as opposed to where Redditor scientism thinks it stands - the more I "feel" (with my whole self, intellectually and morally) that something like belief in the divine is justified, that Plato was onto something, that there must be more to the mysteries of Christ than just historical circumstance and delusion. It gives me hunches that I can't articulate in perfectly logical language - like when I see people going against the grain of what would be in their own best interest and convenience, in order to be "unreasonably" loving and self-sacrificing for others. And again, in ways I can't articulate in logical language, I think I see echoes and emanations of those same hunches in other thinkers - e.g. in Nietzsche's drive toward self-destructive excess of virtue in Zarathustra. All of this, I think, is encapsulated in the way Wittgenstein describes religious feeling, only dimly captured in religious statements, as (in the Kantian sense) a regulative principle for one's life. It shapes one's entire lifeworld.

So for me religious feeling is more of an injunction and an internal drive to find God, it makes me want to learn sciences I've never learned and push my mind and ideas to new heights of self-sublation out of good faith, to experiment with my own soul and my own internal mental landscape by de-familiarising myself from the everyday and common ways of viewing the world which come natural to me, to pause and reflect on the strangeness that I feel inside me when I deny myself a cynical pleasure or deny myself the right to inflict "deserved" cruelty toward a person I dislike and I think of Christ's example. It's the feeling I have when I think about Christ's agony in the garden, and I am not only overwhelmed by a feeling of "this is somehow an important metaphysical *thing*," but also by the realisation that when I thought about the garden parable just a few years ago, it didn't make me think any of these thoughts - I passed over it unconsciously, without interest, and drifted back to waking sleep.

Thank you for your replies, it helped me understand what that kind of religious revelation is supposed to be like. I'll look into James' Varieties

Gonna be starting some summer reading thanks to a few infographs I found. I finished The Republic last night and am now on to Nicomachean Ethics, what books are recommended to read (inb4 whole book fuck you)? There's 10 and I'm leaning on reading what is important/prevalent rather than more niche or filler topics.

it is possible to be left/liberal and capitalist. Thomas Jefferson was an example of this.

>It is a moot question whether the origin of any kind of property is derived from nature at all... It is agreed by those who have seriously considered the subject that no individual has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land, for instance. By an universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common is the property for the moment of him who occupies it; but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society.

"left" and "right" are just conventions used to describe a large swath of views. So yeah, it's not unthinkable that if the political climate was radically different "left" and "right" would have radically different meanings.

Where do i start and where do i go afterwards if i want to read on existencialism and phenomenology?
I already have some Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, but i'm not sure this is a good starting point.

It's an online inside joke. Typically surreal, absurd, or just plain ridiculous.

i thought right and left (in regards to politics/political philosophy) were used to define belief systems based around the acceptance or rejection (respectively) of hierachies in society.

I'm obsessed with this question: If you were the only human alive in the world. What would you do? And what would be the most intelligent move?

If, other than your means of perpetuating your own life, your answer to that is any different than what you're already doing now, are you making a mistake with what you're already doing?
