Kant's Critique of Judgment (First Part: Critique of Aesthetic Judgment)

What books should i read to BTFO this user?

Stirner is such a faggot. I can't believe people even compare him to Nietzche.

Thank you, user. I'll check them.

LOTR, it's pretty good

OP, you’re much smarter than you let on
Why do you have to BTFO normies?
normie don’t care—look at Singer university scandal

>Politics
>Hobbes' Leviathan (specifically chs. XIII-XV), Locke's Second Treatise on Government
Very based

If you want do seem like a genius to btfo normie opinions, read Aristotles complete works and learn and use his terminology. He covers all of what you asked, especially when it comes to literature and media in his works Poetics and Rhetoric. If you want ethics read the Nicomachean ethics. If you want politics and economy read Aristotle's politics. Granted this is all entry level stuff and these works are debated and somewhat refuted to an extent by future philosophers like Marx, Kant, etc., But that stuff isn't really necessary if all you're looking for is to btfo the uneducated.

chomsky is irrefutable.

Doesn't mean he is right

Why?

Think of Marxists, through their worldview, they can refute every point you bring up to them. Then they try and put their ideals into practice and it fails.

user, have you read Tom Wolfe’s The Kingdom of Speech?
linguistics IS fascinating

where do you see linguistics in this thread?

he is right if he can btfo you but you cant to him

This guy for three out of five

While it may be important to learn about virtue ethics to know about one of the earliest stages in the development of ethics, I believe that deontological and teleological ethics are much more relevant to the 21st century Western world. Locke and Hobbes were much more influential in their conceptions of the social contract on the American Founding Fathers and the French revolutionary leaders than Plato or Aristotle's view of city-states. His Poetics says very little that could be applicable to modern literature or art. Longus or Burke's works on aesthetics have been able to stand up much better in that regard. His Rhetoric was greatly surpassed by Cicero's Rhetoric.
As a matter of fact, the only works by Aristotle that I'd say haven't become mostly irrelevant are his Metaphysics and Organon.

Chomsky

>Smith's The Wealth of Nations
Economist here. Don't.
Smith is a classic, Wealth of Nations is good to understand history and how the Economics field started. But it's tremendously outdated and whatever is still relevant today is part of the basics for anyone with any knowledge in Econ. You can not use that work to BTFO anyone.

>Economist here
lol

What would you suggest instead?

Capital

Gravity's Rainbow isn't boring

That is geniunely more fed up than smith, in what sense the capital is allowed but smith is not

If your goal is to BTFO people with real data you will benefit more by reading economic journals. Books are charged with Politics.

If you want to BTFO people with a specific politically charged Economic school, you should previosuly read books on ethics, History and Politics to decide what school you think deserves your support. Then you pick a book for that school. Human Action if you like the Austrians, General Theory if you like Keynesians, Das Kapital if you like Marxists, etc. Do not base your arguments for 2019 discussions on the old classics (Smith, Malthus, Ricardo...)

thats not the thread topic retard

user said “Chomsky is irrefutable”
Chomsky is a linguist, only field in which he could be irrefutable

I shouldn’t say only linguistics—but if he’s irrefutable...

chomsky is probably wrong in the way he wipes his asshole but thats not what op asked for.

so Chomsky the linguist is irrefutable outside of linguistics and probably the way he wipes his asshole

yes you would of got that if you understood how questions and context work

>would of

leave this place and never come back. t. not that guy

Watch Ben Shapiro to learn how to shut down normies. I doubt he would fare well against non-normies, but you asked how to beat the former.

>What if some normie says free market is actually bad?
This is not a normie opinion.

>Then they try and put their ideals into practice and it fails.
What are you talking about? Every socialist state in history has been successful.

Meant to respond to this

There has never been a state where the workers own the means of production. There have been some dictatorships(a right wing form of government) that had bizarre totalitarian economic policies, which were generally less successful per capita than market economies

Based libertarian socialist

∀x ∈ O. P(x)

I gambled on the Unicode and lost, make that O a {}.

>professing himself to be wise, he became a fool.

He refuted himself.
His criticism of Verbal Behavior was so appallingly bad.

>>Politics
unironically the basic works like pic related
>Economics
Economics in one lesson - Henry Hazlitt
Basic Economics - Thomas Sowell

Haahhahaaahhahha

I always love a good laugh. Thanks, user. :3

What kind of shit is that. Wealth of fucking nations but no Marxists no postmodern analysis no fascist thinkers not even the core of Schmitts thought. GTFO normies scum

The Wealth of Nations is a good read :3

>fascist thinkers
now there's an oxymoron

What if i want to BTFO anons? What books should i read?

I wish I had the normies you do

Just say nothing with pretty words, it should suffice among normies

Iliad, Bible, Bell Curve

Unironically Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality and Neon Genesis Evangelion

>Economics
Free to choose by Milton Friedman

everything is subjective, therefore, me, right

I'd love to crush ur peanut brain if I ever met you

Literally any Macroeconomics textbook. This is shit you have to actually work at to understand. It ain't philosophy.
