philosophers that refuted "free" will?
>>17640318Free will was proven right by Luis de Molina in the 1500shttps://iep.utm.edu/middlekn/
>>17641550only at the request of some deeper desire
>>17641526We don't. Baby torture is legal. The only reason to have laws is for some to own slaves. Laws are completely useless beyond that.
>>17644244>self-generated motion of the subject is always contingent on non-self generated characteristics and conditionsNot really, there is no object without the subject, they're inseparable. You can't say the subject is contingent on reality's properties, since subject itself is a necessary property of reality. Although it's not exactly like the object is contingent on the subject either.Existance is essentially choosing to exist, since reality has to choose itself to be what it can be, out of that which it cannot be. Therefore what it can be is not truly up to a choice - despite the term "choose" - but the will of the subject to make the choice - to exist or not - is.

I scan old ship logs into digital. most of it is largely just busness work, but often times pasted in the very front and back cover the logger put newspaper clipings and other writings they found worthwhile.just thought it was neat, here you go.
Make an archive with annotations.Hell, make the annotations vague enough and you could sell it as a book.
>>17647109Nice. Do you have a place where you collect them online?
>>17647109>logs
Just finished this, and I don’t know why but I’m addicted. It’s as if Donna Tartte put a group of /lit/ psueds in a class together, the characters are absolute dumbasses about the real world. For some reason it’s far less emotional than I would have expected based on the premise, it’s actually rather bleak. General discussion, feed me your thoughts.tldr; Bunny did literally nothing wrong
OFFICIAL DONNA TARTT BOOK POWER RANKINGS:1. The Secret History2. The Little Friend (I don't know why nobody talks about this one)3. The Goldfinch
>>17646117>She's a Catholic herself though.Had Donna Tartt converted to Catholicism before The Secret History was published?
>>17646991>I don't know why nobody talks about this oneBecause they've never read it.
>>17644217So which dumbass did you see yourself as?
>>17646311For self-perservation. He simply could not keep quiet. It would have led to trouble sooner or later.
A lot of you guys keep asking how to appeal to lit chicks, art hoes, etc.Here's a good example of what you have to do:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHp6nf-HqIQ
>>17647257Step 1: be good lookingStep 2: have moneyStep 3: climb social hierarchy Alternatively and ancientpilledStep 1: kill all the menStep 2: enslave and rape
Will romanticism ever make a comeback?
Romanticism has never left us and it's outlook on life is so ingrained in us that few even notice. Think about how we talk about education/learning, it's about "finding your own voice" or "helping you become the best version of yourself."This is pure romanticism, the notion that a person innately is good and knows their own best course in life and that they need no shaping by other people or institutions to help them flourish. And this is taken to its extreme conclusion with the postmodern "personal truth." And culturally look at any action movie to take the easiest example, how often is the hero somebody who follows his "own code" which breaks the laws? I shouldn't even need to talk about popular music which has absolutely no standards whatsoever, proportion, measure, harmony are all secondary to visceral emotion. And in politics think of the many progressives talk. What is the idea behind defund the police or abolish prisons? That people are innately good and that it's the system that treats people unfairly and unjustly, this is pure Rousseau. Likewise with poverty, that it isn't the natural condition of mankind but the result of society (Ayanna Pressley, a Democratic congresswoman literally said this last week). And on the opposite side of the political spectrum the basic tenet of libertarians is that individuals allowed to do whatever they each personally think is best will create the best society. Romanticism is a fucking blight and the poetry of Keats, Byron, Wordsworth et al Is not enough to justify even the fraction of the havoc it has wreaked these last two hundred years.
>>17643153Include me in the screenshot
>>17647064Was gonna post this, romanticism never ended

Whom do I read after Plato
>>17638394>Explanation: The traditional rule is that the case after variants of 'to be' agrees with the case before.I don’t know for sure, but this is not the case in German, so Im pretty sure you’re wrong. Maybe you got the idea from Latin or Greek where this rule holds (and is mostly apparenta in infinitive propositions)

Now that the dust has settled, is there any rival?
>>17647154The ESV is a better translation.
>>17647174I know you haven't read it.

What does /lit/ think of Latin American literature? Who are your favorites?

Hey, bros.Recently replayed this old gem and now I have an itch for similar stories.Any suggestions on stories about fucked up families that explores their perversions and supernatural angle.Think Brothers Karamazov and, well, Clive Barker (who wrote this game's plot)Thanks in advance

Why was the literary art yielded to women? Why isn't the modern male reading anymore?
>>17646115Hey big boy, the smart word you wanted to use is spelled *casuistry
>>17645375Do you think aristocratic men sat around an read fiction? It has always been a female domain
HOT
Videogames changed a lot
>>17647091Verne was popular among aristocrats, as was Sherlock Holmes. Mythology was more their thing, with stories of heroism and such being common. Some even wrote fiction. Though it's a different matter if they ever published them.

>First one to define art in a holistic manner that can include all works accepted by the art world as art (up to the present time), but does not allow everything to be called art, gets to stay on my aircraftWhat literature would help you in this situation?
