I would like to start with the book most susceptible to change the way I see the world.
I have :
- Meditations on First Philosophy, Descartes
- The Prince, Machiavelli
- Republic, Plato
- The Social Contract, Rousseau
- Candid, Voltaire
- Voyage to the end of the night, Céline
- 1984, George Orwell
Thanks !
awful list of books my nig
Wrong board...
If just going by simplicity? 1984 first, Plato last. idk about the other ones though.
The Republic goes first
1984 goes last
Ok thanks a lot !
Historical
Also add big red communist book. It's good to be able to see theveryone world from different perspectives
remember that 1984 is a critic to marxist-leninism, and not to communism as a whole
and the republic is a good book if you want to start with philosophy
you should expand this list with some books about war
art of war-Sūnzĭ
on war-Clausewitz
shitting up an already shitty list
The Quran has to be number 1
Candid and Voyage shouldn't be read unless you read The Stranger first
>to change the way I see the world
skinner beyond freedom and dignity
and can ignore the rest
>1984 is a critic to marxist-leninism
from my perspective it looks like anti-utopia about western society
Start with the greeks
Ok thanks to you all, I will note these advises and recommendations
How boring.
I think Moliere is a pretty cool guy, but I'm not sure there are any good translations.
Start learning french ! You're missing so many wonderful literature
enjoy your reading bookworm
Jesus how old are you? If you're over 18 and just reading these books stop posting
19, I wasn't an avid reader before.
>I wasn't an avid reader
*tips fedora*
heh I knew the French had low IQ
Remidner to only read WASP literature
wrong meme fml but I was just memeing I would unironically recommend starting with the Gr*eks or start with a specific philosophical subject
How dare you and how would you know how I scored at the WAIS-III ? Have you ever passed an IQ test before ?
I'm to intelligent to have my intelligence measured Pierre
*tips back fedora*
Hon hon hon, Impressive shitposting nigel
I tend to come across the translations over the internet eitherway :)
Well, that must be handy.
Though I think you can really only learn the French conjunctions proper through French classes.
Nah, you're just too scared to have the professional diagnose you as a retard.
t. Professional mind-reader
Don't you just hate it when people read novels instead of using the ATM. I think they kind of miss the point there. C'est la vie eh?
I didn't know such peoples exist
