Welcome to Litsy!

Preferably hot. Save your ice for your Coke.

Sometimes I can't get a thought out of my head. Friday it was, “wait are we a greek Chorus on Taylor Swift's new album?“ And here we are. https://youtu.be/_wWM3xuShR4

If you find philosophy boring I encourage you to read about Peter Abelard's steamy love affair and the tragic conclusion. It's pretty wild. #nonfiction #history #philosophy

Aristotle‘s Nicomachean Ethics was something I reread and cannot recommend highly enough.

One of the earliest examples of literary and aesthetic theory. Short and accessible and lucidly translated by Anthony Kenny. This edition also has some supplementary material at the end, of which Dorothy Sayers' "Aristotle on Detective Fiction" is the most fun: "But what, in his heart of hearts, he desired was a good detective story" she says of Aristotle, and it's hard to disagree with her, reading his theories on plot and action and catharsis.

I really like the Very Short Introduction series, this one is about ancient Greek philosophy. I think it gives a good overview of the main themes and challenges of this field, as well as why ancient Greek philosophy is still relevant to modern readers. Would have liked a bit more discussion about cultural influences on the development of philosophy, but this book does have to be concise! Good intro book 🤔👍
7.5/10

This YA/coming of age/LGBT series-starter wasn‘t bad, but it didn‘t wow me (like it seems to for most people). Read my full review here https://debbybrauer.org/#aristotle-and-dante-discover-the-sec...
