Good finds Lorenzo

Have any of you read Republic by Plato? I'm thinking about getting a copy from the library.

@Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips#6115 I have it, but I've never read it. If you're going for the classics, I would advise Aristotle.

thanks

@Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips#6115 If you want aristotle, I recommend The Great Books of The Western World, Volume's 8 and 9

you can find copies for like 8-10 bucks

I second reading aristotle, alot of his works can be found for free on the internet too.

Finished reading Animal Farm. It's not a long book and kind of amusing. I would suggest you read it, shouldn't take long.

Thanks for the link @P14#2043

my book on the finnish winter war is so fucking lit and really motivates me

made me (continuing in /sig/ general)

I meant our own channel, selfimprovement general 😅

Just started listening to Fash the Nation, it's pretty good. We'll informed on current politics but from a right wind perspective https://therightstuff.biz/category/fash-the-nation/

Yeah, it‘s pretty good

Fash the Nation and The Daily Shoah are both fantastic

Yeah, listening to FTN right now xD

The Latter Day Pamphlets, by Thomas Carlyle

Finished Spengler's Decline of the West a few weeks ago. I discussed the book with some old students too. I'm not too experienced in Philosophy of History at the moment, so I'm working on it right now.

@P14 Animal farm is one of the greatest satirical books I've read. I suppose you're familiar with 1984 as well?

Id be surprised if anyone here hasnt read 1984

I've recently been studying Philosophy of History, and I've found that supplements to such works are invaluable. On a similar note, there are few works that summate philosophy and its history to the degree that is possible to sufficiently understand both. For this I recommend Kenny's A New History of Western Philosophy. It was thoroughly useful. It is a good introduction to general philosophy and is relatively new, and I've got a digital (PDF) file if anyone is interested -- it is in four volumes.

I want to compile a list of essential reading on various topics, including Philosophy (metaphysics, logic, etc.), Politics (specifically right wing), homesteading, survival, etc. If you have an idea of a book that is a good read to get into a topic, @ me in this channel and I will throw it into a list. Eventually, we will have a list with essential readings and then books to delve deeper into the topics.

@Polak before you read anything to do with history i would reccomend first going over the book "The Decline of The West" by oswald spengler. very good philosophical book on history.

@Belisarius noted. Will add under History/Philospophy. Thank you for the suggestion.

@Polak A plan to add books one-by-one over time? Is there a base of books you have collected already in this list?

I've got a great many books to share.

you can post them all here anytime

@User Not really, I‘ve only read the first chapter. I hope I‘m going to have time to read all of it soon.

1984 is definitely also necessary to read. I also read Animal Farm first. mostly because of its slim size, though I've had to reread it many times because of that same reason.

@P14 Have you read Spengler's Decline of the West yet?

I was discussing it earlier, and am hoping to find those who have already read it here.

@User No, I haven‘t.

Don't have a list made up at the moment. This channel has a lot of reccomendations, but I want to organize them under topics.
