Christopher Baker
Xavier Williams
uh bro i am posting a parisian must read as requested
Jonathan Ross
Levi Morris
Care to elaborate?
I've been reading it after being suggested in the nonfiction thread and found it deeply insightful
Luis Baker
>tfw you find out the voice of god was us all along
Jackson Nelson
Nicholas Anderson
Elijah Davis
Max Tegmark - Our Mathematical Universe
Isaiah Reyes
It's a crock, OK.
Phone-posting right now, so no details, but consider this: the implausibility of distinct populations with distinct cultures, mythos, consciousnesses, whatever you wanna call it all, basically simultaneously, attaining this radical shift in nit just 'self-understanding' but actual brain function. Consider that he focuses on a relatively small region's history to support his thesis. What happens when we look at the contemporaneous accounts of, say, the 'Chinese'? or Meso-Americans? Or South Asians?

Jackson Richardson
Different user.
After reading this became excited to read Jaynes' book on general psychology only to learn that he died while putting it together. I'm wondering now if any of his later stuff has been published as it's been almost ten years since I've read pictured. Don't think theses like Jaynes' ever go out of date btw lsb. Insightful, well written, and suggestive on levels other than the merely informational.
Justin Jenkins
his paper online is shorter btw, recommend that over the book
Nathan Sanchez
If you think you've studied biology without reading these guys then you're just a technician.
Jeremiah Walker
Charles Jackson
On Growth and Form
Henry Anderson
Was this some cold war literature or something?
>duck and cover
Jason Wright
not much patrician literature in this thread so far, honestly
Joshua Edwards
Philo+art history+Power of emotions= book
Brody Peterson
Noah Jenkins
Daniel Taylor
Eliade is great.
Julian Hall
This book makes the patriciate accessible, though it is not the only means.
Nolan Sullivan
Interesting, but probably wrong
By far the stupidest thing I've heard today
never mind this is
Warmer
Connor Adams
5 random
Johnson's Nine Worthies
DeRetz' Memoirs
Ficino's Platonic Theology
Walton's Compleat Angler
Coleridge's Biographia..
Pater's Appreciations
Hudson Hernandez
Patricians consult the Oracle, and this book is the most patrician method for well-read Westerners.
William Mitchell
If only to disagree with him
Thomas Rogers
It was inevitable with the development of a spoken and written language. And not all evolved at the same time. If you read it you'd know this.
Joshua Butler
This is one of the most technical, in-depth analyses of economic activity I've ever seen in my life.
This is a patrician read for anyone interested in marginal utility/economics.
Jace Baker
>It was inevitable with the development of a spoken and written language
begging the question
>And not all evolved at the same time
the hypothesis is one of a nearly--in evolutionary terms--instantaneous development that somehow manifested serially, and independently in every human population
Nicholas Baker
it sounds like gibberish
Jose Jenkins
t. technician
Nathan Ortiz
Pareto's a God
why would a technician be interested in Kierkegaard
Colton Long
Pretty interested in it after Man in the High Castle
Bentley Sullivan
>why would a technician be interested in Kierkegaard
Because said technician is a brainlet.
Isaac Parker
The French Revolution: A history - Thomas Carlyle
Ryder Martin
MUNDUS MILLENNIALIS
Jayden Rivera
holy... I want more!
Jose Thompson
I always find it insane when people say shit like this, you can't be satisfied with that answer, why would you silence yourself to the mysteries of heaven?
Alexander Sanders
You're like a little kid, watch this.
Shut up
Dylan Nelson
Where to begin with Eliade?
Eternal Return and Sacred & Profane right?
Xavier White
The latter and Myth and Dreams. Youre working your way up to the tomes on Shamanism and Yoga (believe it or not).
Nicholas Garcia
The PKD book? That's exactly why I first got into it.
I promise you that there is no substitute for this text: instead of a literal (or approximately so) translation of the Chinese, each line of the hexagrams has the direct Chinese translation coupled with 2-3 examples from world literature and philosophy. Honestly, it's incredible.
Alexander Richardson
Why?
Brandon Phillips
Nathan Cooper
Extremely relevant, particularly on certain boards of this site.
Benjamin Harris
Peter Brown's 'patrician' across the board from this all the way back to The Cult of the Saints and his bio of Augustine. As is Anthony Grafton (Cardano's Cosmos comes to mind). My rec however along these lines is Huizinga's Autumn of the Middle Ages.
Levi Richardson
Christian Hill
Oops, didn't see it was already posted.
Aaron Torres

What's this about?
Nolan Price
It's an anthropological study into the belief systems of a various aboriginal cultures. Super neat stuff
Nicholas Taylor
this shit is hilarious
Hunter Bennett
Grayson Mitchell
found an original copy of this at a library sale not too long ago. my interest was recently piqued after finding out NYRB re-released it (I had assumed it was a minor scholarly work)
Andrew Richardson
thanks seems cool
Chase Phillips
If you had met any sub-saharan Africans you'd accept that they are not really conscious in the way we use the term
Ryan Young
The stand
Julian Mitchell
>from fire to Freud
>tfw your species peaked early
William Gray
I'd rather not read some half baked horseshit that only sounds vaguely compelling if you don't think about it for more than a few minutes and start to see all the myriad flaws with the core hypothesis.
Grayson Morgan
Yes. His "The Name of the Rose" is also patrician.
Cameron Robinson
Camden Hernandez
>Freud in the title
gross and discouraging.
David Sanchez
a top top book
Bentley Smith
Juan Rivera
THis book sounds fucking dope. I've been making my way from Ryan Holiday to excitation transfer theory over the course of a couple of years - would like to know more about this motherfuxking book, yo!
Zachary Green
"Patrician" has never meant "weak attempts at philosophy by failed academics" and it never will.
Grayson Hill
this
Jose Walker
LMAO
Kevin Brooks
Oh, good. At least one person hasn't forgotten that this is Veeky Forums. Morons....
Ryan Stewart
Nicholas Richardson
The Italian Montaigne.
Don't understand the lack of reference here, or everywhere.
Lucas Lopez
Excellent.
Cooper Gomez
I have this but it just seems like an enormous mess. Is there a particular extract from it that you enjoyed?
Angel Jones
This. The entire thread is just personal book recs.
Alexander Martinez
Montaigne/Nietzsche/Cioran hybrid. What it is is very lit in a Veeky Forums way so yeah, understand your perplexity. There's only one Montaigne, however.
Juan Morgan
i dare you faggot know-nothing fucks to actually read this and still talk shit
'failed academics'
professor emeritus at penn state, a fucking public ivy
who the fuck are you?
Xavier Thomas
please
Matthew Davis
>there's only one Montaigne
Totally agree, I hope my analogy didn't imply otherwise.
It's like saying, for instance, that Venice is *like* New York (it probably isn't, but let's say for the sake of argument that it is). It would be absurd, however, to claim that New York is at all like Venice. Metaphors are almost entirely unidirectional. Thus, Leopardi is *like* Montaigne, but Montaigne is not at all like Leopardi—!
Landon Gray
Everyone else in this thread is clearly middle class, probably typing from red lobster with an open Michael chabon at their side.
Adam Brooks
>the bourgeoisie says to the aristocrat
Owen Ramirez
Patricians only.
Ian Ramirez
Matthew Johnson
Loren Eisley passim.
Ryder Brown
Agreed
Sebastian Bailey
To you it might.
Hunter Nguyen
No problem, and youre right (fruit may be described- and often is- as 'nature's candy' but to call candy man's fruit reads absurd, even if true in an off beat thoroughly arguable way). Still (you) left that bit open to be qualified further which based on my reading is what I sought to do. ..That Nietzsche aspect's perhaps most interesting as Nietzsche loathed Leopardi (who was not only a far better poet, but is every bit as interestingly readable).
Chase Jones
Puts me in mind of Joubert's Notebooks, and the political essays of the great Lord Acton.. for whatever reason
Kayden Gutierrez
>everyone posting their book lists from their humanities courses
How embarrassing.
