Anybody read any good philosophy lately?

Barthes was a Postmodern philosopher before it was cool.

This is a good little book.|||"The struggle between happiness and unhappiness is the story of human existence. The struggle between peace and war is the history of the human race. The power that leads us to eternal victory amid these struggles is the power of good within us."

You need to catch up.





Too much sot weed factor.|||Try GEB.





Fabulous book.





Every person who reads this book will learn something.|||Yes:





Consolation of Philosophy-Boethius


Antichrist-Neitzche


The happy Life-St. Augustine


The method of reasoning-Descartes


Apology, Meno, Republic-Plato|||Quine's Two Dogmas and Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations are a couple interesting ones I've recently read.|||Actually I just waded through the Apology of Socrates and found it to be something you might just as well hear today - sorry I exposed all the politicians and others as being full of shiit - so kill me.|||A really good book ...and it is very clearly written on a very difficult subject is "Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology" by Ayn Rand. Epistemology being the branch of philosophy which is concerned with how we know what we know--or what constitutes the basis or essence of knowledge.
