Reading: Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzche
I feel dumb reading the Nietzche book. I can grasp some ideas and themes but i feel like i'm missing out on 75% of it. Definitely an exhausting read.

Currently reading Carl Schmitt's Theory of the Partisan. Pretty prophetical of 21st century warfare considering when it was released.

Let me guess: you've never read any philosophy before, and have an extremely limited knowledge of philosophy in general. You want to start with a book, so you start with Nietzsche, and not only Nietzsche, but Beyond Good and Evil. You are starting philosophy with Nietzsche, who was building on concepts discussed for centuries before his time, and one of his last books at that, building on ideas he already talked about. People like you are the reason that so many misinterpret his work. Hint: you are missing out on 75% of it, and that last 25% that you think you are understanding? You are probably interpreting over half of it wrong. If you are gonna start with Nietzsche, at least start with his aesthetic theories, or genealogy of morality. Or, better yet, start with an earlier philosopher.

Dylan White
His ideas were in direct contrast to Schopenhauer, but it's not like you would know that because you haven't read a full work of either, and think of philosophers as "overrated" and "underrated".

I would just quit it if I were you, the ending is shit and revealed to me that the only thing that Pynchon is good at is constructing prose. With that being said, I'll probably end up still reading, or trying to read, Gravity's Rainbow.

Im not listening or reading in the current moment but the thing ive read the most as of late is my calc textbook, currently on the section of gradient vectors of functions of multiple variables. I like to listen to head hunters while doing it because its easy, fun, digestable instrumental music.

Kayden Gray
just finished the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime (would rec if you want a good light read, its nothing super intelligent or ~deep and philosophical~ but some parts of the story got me good anyway)
and rn i’m listening to this russian band, тe дни пpoшли. u guys should check them out they’re pretty underrated
Christian Green
Cool off. books made to be read
Aaron White
That’s as good a use for theology as any (and probably better than most).
Levi Bailey
I believe it's a particularly easy read, the ideas are well defined without any serious mind-fuckery (but that doesn't make it of any less value).
I read this a long time ago but if I recall correctly it's kind of the sequel to 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra', you can understand it with reading THZ but it kind of makes a complete set with THZ. Don't listen to the hipsters, it's a good book if you're starting with philosophy but it would have been better to start with Plato.

>You can't just say a philosopher is overrated or underrated unless you're a pleb
No, I can unequivocally state that Nietzche is overated as fuck. Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a heaping dumpster fire, and his work in philology is terrible. You might as well never read Geneaology of Morals or Beyond Good and Evil.
>inb4 Th-thats just because you didn't read Rousseau or Schopenhauer and can't understand the finer details of Nietzche
Why would I waste my time trying to interest myself in the finer details of someone whose thought I thoroughly don't care for?

Yeah that's fairly accurate since it's my first actual philosophy book (i've read books by philosophers before that werent really that philosophical.
I tried to start with some random Plato book but the unnatural conversations threw me off from them. Never knew Nietzsche was a common starting philosopher, i wanted to begin with Kierkegaard but since my small local library didn't have anything by him i chose Nietzsche at random because i recognized the author :D.
You are probably right about how i much interpret from it maybe philosophy isn't really my thing, BGaE is exhausting. :D

kek, interpretation by definition implies there's more than one way of taking a look at things, eliminating the "right" or "wrong", nobody even holds the authority on a "right" of something, it's all up to the reader anyways
Owen Anderson
Pirate a textbook on philosophy in general and/or start reading philosophy (primary sources) books chronologically, this is the sure fire way of understanding anything in philosophy. This works for any topic really, if you do the same for fiction (classics) you'll notice trends come and go, how something like the novel evolved, etc.
