I think this is the thread:

If that's not it, try searching "tiny book" and you should find it.

Okay link to PDF, or preferably EPUB/MOBI (if you expect anyone to read more than the index)? Ain't no one gonna pay to read a self published literally who. If it's good I might consider it, though.

This looks awful. Why would anyone buy this shit?

>>19624188
fifty is decent enough.
what the fuck exactly is the copyright status of conan though?
i know the names are trademarked but i'm pretty sure the original stories and the actual characters themselves are public domain
i know they are in europe
i could be talking out of my ass though

Around the time Faulkner's big ones start to drop. His first novel will be available in 2022.

i'm a retard.
why is it that stuff like HP Lovecraft is public domain but a good chunk of howards works (seemingly) aren't?
what the fuck is this shit?
and is the name conan just trademarked? what is going on with that?

>>19624216
re: Lovecraft, The copyright was not renewed following the Copyright Act of 1978 and expired 70 years after HPL's death.

>Wittgenstein was invited to a meeting of the Vienna circle: When he finally came, instead of answering their questions about his book, he sat facing away from them reading Tagore, the Indian poet, for over an hour and then got up and silently left the room. Afterward Carnap remarked to Schlick, “I guess he is not one of us.”
>Ludwig Wittgenstein, we are told by Ray Monk, shared Tagore's belief that reason and knowledge were irrelevant to ineffable religious experience.

>>19624461
wtf

Any recs for translations of his poems?

>>19624929
He translated his own poems to English.
But it's not really a translation, more like a whole rewriting.
You won't find Bengali versions translated by someone else (I think)

no you can still hate women while having sex with them

Because they were highly intelligent, well read, sensitive and more often than not - despite what many of the pathetic simps in this thread desperately want us to believe - had plenty of experience with women.

>>19627298
But you have to really hate them and fail to score to have time enough to write about it.

>>19624052
Hating women is for retards. The difference between bitter incels and philosophers is that the latter fully acknowledge the unique flaws of women without disparaging them on account of it. Unfortunately, due to the way modern society works, even acknowledging that people are born differently according to regular natural laws is considered "hating" these same people, which explains the vitriol which is directed against philosophers, when it should only really be directed against the legitimate incels.

I believe you will do it.<span class="fortune" style="color:#532dfc">

“They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice; that only a madman could be guilty of it; and other insipidities of the same kind; or else they make the nonsensical remark that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.”

As a slavophile, I can tell that Dosto was right about most . This one among others.

>>19625147
is this because of the overall journey of the book or simply because it's also a tome

>>19625211
It's a story that spans like a decade and it has the same feel as Monte Cristo in the way of storytelling. It's not a revenge story, but it's bunch of characters that get put though the wringer

>>19625233
thanks W&P is on my list of reads for next year. I loved Anna Karenina which was objectively one of the best books i've ever read

Macquet made the outline of the plot and the Dumas did all the dialog and descriptions and all that. Basically Macquet did the storyboard and Dumas made it into a book
>>19625118
>muh meds
God, grow up you fucking pussy

>>19625540
>Macquet spent all his life writing blockbuster plays and novels, but was not in the limelight though he deserved to be. It is over 150 years now, but the genius is just a footnote in the history of literature. He is said to be the brain, especially behind 'The Three Musketeers' and ' The Count Of Monte Cristo'.
>Many scholars are of the opinion that Maquet's efforts were as significant as Dumas's and in fact, the duo required each other. When Maquet split from Dumas, neither of them could come up with something that was extraordinary. Dumas wrote very less after they split, but Maquet continued writing and once he had sufficient money, bought a marvelous chateau in the countryside. He is also known to have a copy of the famous work 'The Three Musketeers' re-titled 'By A Dumas and A Maquet'.
>Despite an apparently equal partnership in their work, you would be astonished to know that at the publisher's insistence, Maquet's name was taken off of each novel before press.
>Even though Dumas admitted that he was helped by Maquet, he insisted that he was the actual creator.
Wasn't Dumas also Jewish, by any chance?

"The Sufis" is too broad do you have any specific figures who held this view?

strangely enough half a world away, in an isolated culture they are having the exact same "problems" we are (and 109 other cultures had throughout the last 300 years).

Ah, each day I see the sun rise more weimarian than the last. Basedjaks appreciating the constant reduction of their collective freedoms as they associate it with motherly care. The /pol/ side of the spectrum seems to still be stubbornly looking for a father instead (try Evola?). How anyone could enjoy Mein Kampf unironically is way beyond me, I'm not sure about the English translation, but the german version is pathetic prose, I hope for your sake that it was a "struggle" to get through, OP. I've seen a thread mention that the current editions are full of annotations which I imagine are also annoying in their own right. I would definitely read through some of the philosophical concepts Adolf kindly misappropriated to give context to his ramblings, so on that front, read Zarathustra, or the homo science.

>>19623788
ah yes the book in which Adolf sucks England's perceived germanic cock for uncomfortably long periods (though it is admittedly more readable than MK). Good recommendation.

I'd also advise reading Das Kapital, since it can't hurt to know your enemy, or whatever. Same reason I'm ordering CCRU drivel as soon as my paycheck arrives. Godspeed, anon.

Marxism has failed as a science and a political system.<span class="fortune" style="color:#2dfc53">

Your fortune: Your heart grew three sizes![/spoiler]

>>19624154
Yes it has, and I'm happy I'm no marxist. It's just as easy to dismiss fascism as a mistake of nature, as it has failed just as spectacularly. If one reads to be a better ideologue, sure, he can of course ignore literature that does not correspond with his predetermined path. I despise the left, especially the self-proclaimed marxist kind, who only fetishize revolution. I despise the basement-dwelling resentful fascists who only fetishize conquest. I despise liberals even more than those. But we are talking about books.

I recommend Kapital because it is genuinely a much nicer read than Mein Kampf, it is probably outside OP's comfort zone, and despite the author, the propaganda driven undertones of the commie manifesto are not to be found in there. However, I found its critique of the system we inhabit rather insightful.

If you're really interested in science and not "ThE ScIeNcE", a good calculus book is the place to start. Stewart's is good, at least it was back in the early 2000s, not sure if it's been Jewed since then, anyway it's not like math changes so just get an edition from around that time and you'll be good

There isn't one, just as all of those books that you suggested aren't identical in function within their various traditions.

Broadly speaking "science" is a tool of empiricism ("gathering sensory data to understand things"). Science doesn't flow out of one given study, but is rather a collection of various endeavors at understanding the universe. Biology, chemistry, and physics are closely related, but all three come out of different historical disciplines. Every branch of "science" thus has its own history, its own jargon, and its own systems. This makes cross-disciplinary ventures rewarding, but also hard to pull off. Attempts at trying to unify these branches in some kind of hierarchy or order are pointless and fruitless, and just lead to "my discipline is the best :)". This is a genealogical point, not merely a philosophical one. Chemistry has a different heredity than physics.

Each branch then has sub-branches. Chemistry has inorganic, physical, analytical, organic, and biochemical, but all of these themselves have subdisciplines. Organic chemistry BROADLY speaking can be broken up into the study of plastics, explosives, and drugs, but this is just the end product. An actual scientist is someone who gets very, very good at studying very, very specific things, and uses that to craft broader theories. If you look at historical scientists like Antoine Lavoisier, Hooke, Boyl, Mendeleev, these men all studied very niche things that yielded theories that could be made very broad in scope by later generations. The Periodic Table, for example, was created by Dmitri Mendeleev while he was attempting to create a general table of elemental properties in accordance with various patterns that, up until this point, were listed in a multitude of other tables.

A consequence of this is, as science is about using empiricism to craft theories to explain phenomena, "science" is thus a constant process of self-correction. If you look into the history of any given phenomena, you WILL find many, many, many old, abandoned theories.This is intentional, as the point of science is to craft ever more explanatory theories. This leads to some being confused when they try to pick some figure, such as Darwin, and argue that he's the chief thinker of some discipline that all practitioners of the discipline take their thought from. The confusion arises when they see that this person is usually the one most criticized by practitioners of the discipline. A peculiar thing then happens: in order to advance the discipline and gain fame, you must set yourself on fire and be destroyed by your peers.

Pic related: Mendeleev's original Periodic Table and a simplified one used today.

>>19623959
So to tl;dr all of that, you're going to need to be a lot more specific. I'll throw one out there: If you want to learn Organic Chemistry, get Solomons textbook (his name is "T. W. Graham Solomons"). Be sure to get the solutions manual!

If you want to get into Inorganic Chemistry, which is COMPLETELY FUCKING UNRELATED to organic chemistry, I'd recommend Inorganic Chemistry by Meissler and Inorganic Chemistry by Huheey.

And, of course, as always, never pay for a textbook without checking if it's on libgen first.
