My mom only reads new age/gnostic/esoteric and conspiracy theory bs

>>"no, user, philosophy is just about god"
I fail to see the issue. Stop being so full of yourself.

I managed to get my mother and grandmother to read Mishima, funnily enough it was by complete accident too

based

you contrarian tradlarpers are so goddamn stupid. what do you think theology is?

Theology is usually concerned with religious beliefs, and metaphysics (the single most important branch of philosophy) for the vast majority of time concerned about immaterial substances i.e. God under its various forms and interpretations.

exactly. the study of god is theology, not philosophy.

You didn't understand the post you replied to. Your grandma is probably ashamed of how dumb you turned out.

No, she's ashamed of how low-class I am.

this much midwittery should be lethal to the brain

That's a consequence of your stupidity.

alright, how about this. Explain to me what I said that was wrong.

But I already did here . You just don't know what words mean, so maybe you should try to read a book once.

>>constantly name drops seneca
holy based literally me
>of the main problems of philosophy.
Which philosophy, retard. Poor babushka

I think most women have an easier time grasping God than men because they're usually less arrogant

Who is Descartes

Is that why they always turn to astrology and crazy mysticism instead of Christianity?

show me an actual modern Christian man and not a tradlarper and you'd have a point

My mom reads the bible every morning along with some protestant spirituality book about "having God thoughts." Bible is based, not amped about the faggy new age-y spiritualism with a Christian veneer. The other books that she reads are about selling techniques. Business lady.

introduce your mom to guenon

Go to the church? You're just obsessed with larping because you're a teenager.

Just want to add in, I love my mom!

>You're just obsessed with larping because you're a teenager.
What?

My mom doesn't read, only watches TV. She's dumb like an animal.

I know this isn't the time and place to discuss this but I just started Symbols of Sacred Science and it's really neat. Viewing being as a manifestation of the divine has helped me not be a miserable faggot. At the same time I'm doing Being and Time, and I'm floored by how much my mood has improved. I never would have guessed philosophy book being able to immediately improve my life. I'm thankful to be alive again!

Being a 4channer is worse

Nah

that's a triple based from me senpai

Usually whatever she finds interesting on the buzz books table at the library.

tbqh I can see how wahmen might enjoy something like Spring Snow or The Sound of Waves.

spring snow was the book they read, and they both loved it, so you're probably right
my grandmother is reading runaway horses atm, curious to see how she likes it

My mom really likes most of whatever I read so I send her most books after I finished them. Last thing was The Plague by Camus, next one will be Nausea by Sartre

She reads country christian books alongside "real" ghost stories.

Usually thrillers and horror books. I gave her a Raymond Carver collection once and she loved it. I may give her Madame Bovary to read as she expressed interest in it.

>I nearly passed out. I don't know how she did it, but somehow she'd manage to engage in sensible discussion by pure coincidence. Like some kind of freakish convergent evolution. But that tore the wool from my eyes. I haven't had a philosophical discussion with her since, and now that I know she's an idiot, I can't believe I didn't see it before. It doesn't help that I have to buy all her books for her now, and now I know that she's into new age spiritualism, and random people from the 70s that had weird theories on things.

Poor grandma, a shame that her progeny did not inherit her intellect.

Danielle Steele and the Bible mostly

certified r/atheism moment

My mom reads dense theological texts since she's working on a degree and makes me feel like a brainlet when I talk to her. Feels good man.

Dangerously based

I'm disrespectful towards my parents because they truly are idiots who shouldn't have had children and they disrespect their children. This notion that you should never disrespect your parents is dumb because it does not put into consideration that you get (back) what you give.

t.14 years old

You need to be 18 to post on Yea Forums.

I'm glad you have healthy relationships with your parents, but I'm probably older than both of you combined, and nothing I said isn't untrue. I forgave them a long time ago because they don't know much better, but they truly are idiots.

where to buy the token sir?

Ontological questions only matter because of will to life. E.g God.

Based grandma.

t. retard

You're the idiot, not her. All philosophical issues can be reduced to some fundamental beginning. Without that axiom you can't have the rest of the philosophy. That means the proving or disproving of God is, for those who focus on God as the prospective beginning rather say Material or whatever Schopenhauer believed, the entire point of philosophy. Once you do that you can engage with less important questions like that of morality or the person.

seethe and cope midwit

You must be trolling now
