Philosophy: 100 Essential Thinkers | Philip Stokes

#sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern

Philosophy, poetry, plays, essays, nonfiction that isn't history-based - which is why I've requested this on my #auldlangspine2026 form. I realise @monalyisha that this may be hard to match for so if some of the fiction genres I've listed/ticked have to be included, that's fine by me! 🤣🤣🤣

ChasingOm Here are some philosophy books I read for a class on Moral Leadership earlier this year! 1d

Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist | Friedrich Nietzsche

#ARichLife #Twilight

My teen has been talking to me about Nietzsche, so I'm dusting off my Twilight of the Idols and The Anti-Christ from college. I made notes in it, so I know I read it, but I remember nothing from this book except that it wasn't what I'd expected when I was 19 years old.

@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs I‘ve not read a whole Nietzsche book yet, just excerpts… 4w

Physics: Books I and II | Aristotle

#two4tuesday
Yes I was. I was such a reader that by the time I left elementary school I had read everything in the library, even the encyclopedia. In high school I struggled with certain aspects of math.

The Problems of Philosophy | Bertrand Russell

I've been studying epistemology in my class this semester and I've been looking for books to help me understand it better. I added this book to my ThriftBooks cart two days ago, and then I surreptitiously found it at the library book sale yesterday! It's annotated and I'm enjoying not only reading Russell's writings, but also the scribblings of the previous owner who was also trying to make sense of it all.

Schwifty I don‘t know if you‘re into graphic novels, but there‘s one I particularly enjoy called Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth which is the story of Russell‘s early years, courtship of his wife and struggle to formulate his analytical philosophy. I majored in philosophy in college and read a ton of his work. He was particularly accessible when others, especially non-English philosophers, were not so much to the layman. Anyway, happy reading. 9mo

Rachel.Rencher @Schwifty Thank you for the recommendation! I love graphic novels & that one is now added to my ThriftBooks cart. 👍 9mo

Key Philosophical Writings | Rene Descartes

Anyone else gets annoyed by these? ://

Almost always can‘t get my focus back

kspenmoll Yes! 9mo

AlaSkaat @kspenmoll it reminded me of the ‘can you find the the mistake? 123‘ so I kept going back and forth thinking I‘m reading it wrong ! There‘s so many punctuation mistakes in books though. Especially older ones. 9mo

The Dawn of Day | Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

“The free man is immoral, because it is his will to depend upon himself and not upon tradition: in all the primitive states of humanity 'evil' is equivalent to 'individual,' 'free,' 'arbitrary,' 'unaccustomed,' 'unforeseen,' 'incalculable.'“ ~Friedrich Nietzsche, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒂𝒚

Immanuel Kant's Kritik der reinen Vernunft | Immanuel Kant

Sent to me by a friend I am not sure the source

Box has a box set of Kant 🤣😂🤣

CatLass007 I have never read Kant. Are you someone who has read him, liked it or at least learned from? If so, do you have any thoughts on an entry-level book for the uninitiated? I‘m always on the lookout for new authors to teach me new things. 10mo

CatLass007 Oh, and it‘s great that your books made it to you anyway. It‘s too bad that the gift card was lost and you don‘t know who sent it. I hope it was a generous Litten who will speak up. 10mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Clearly an uncultured thief 😉 10mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @CatLass007 I dabbled in philosophy in college and lets just say that we had a super rude rhyme for Kant he is tough, and a bit boring (he probably isn't as bad as I remember, or we pretended, I do believe in his founding belief). I think if you are interested in the philosophy of ethics and reasoning I would start with this one -

Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals

10mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage clearly. No dragons, no shirtless men on the cover. Can't be good - ohhh maybe the “thief“ already has these books? 😂 10mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Lol! Then they should have left a note with their review… 🤣 10mo

CatLass007 Thanks! 10mo

Twilight of the Idols | Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

“Let unholy hands keep aloof from inspired writings, let the laity believe in their old religions and their new philosophies, and let Nietzsche be the philosopher for those only who have to stand alone, but who for this very reason need an example and perhaps a guide more than any other.“ ~Oscar Levy

UnderworldAmusements This booklet contains a sketch of the figures that introduced and often propagandized the German philosopher's work to the Anglosphere. SA1095 of the Union of Egoists' 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆 journal series. Limited Edition of 66.
