/lit/ - Literature

Care to elaborate, Augustine?
>Those are refuted, who think the substance of the Father and of the Son to be not the same, because everything predicated of God is, in their opinion, predicated of Him according to substance; and therefore it follows, that to beget and to be begotten, or to be begotten and unbegotten, being diverse, are diverse substances; whereas it is here demonstrated that not everything predicated of God is predicated according to substance, in such manner as He is called good and great according to substance, or anything else that is predicated of Him in respect to Himself; but that some things are also predicated of Him relatively, i.e. not in respect to Himself, but to something not Himself, as He is called Father in respect to the Son, and Lord in respect to the creature that serves Him; in which case, if anything thus predicated relatively, i.e. in respect to something not Himself, is even predicated as happening in time, as e.g. "Lord, you have become our refuge," yet nothing happens to God so as to work a change in Him, but He Himself remains absolutely unchangeable in His own nature or essence.
T-thanks

are there any actual good self-published philosophy books out there?

i'm talking about ground breaking concepts

Any literature on communication through language being fundamentally alienating because it's an unnecesary step in social interactions that precedes action, while not changing the action in itself?

Definetly. I just hate being surrounded by dudebros with who I can’t discuss anything at all besides tits and parties. Though I blame myself for not getting admitted into Oxford and not getting to do Maths and Philosophy.

My biggest failure was unironically not getting to go to Oxford
Sounds petty and stupid, but I worked for almost a year and a half for it. I literally dedicated my life to it after trying to an hero. I still dream of getting to be somewhere I could wish to belong, where I could meet people who were sincerely dedicated to knowing more about the world, people who wished to become better, people I could finally talk to and make friends with.
Nowadays I’m stuck doing MechEng at the best uni in my country, but it’s just not what I wanted. People are ok, but not passionate, nor especially bright. Not that I am passionate Engineering - I applied for Physics and Philosophy - nor am I very smart, but no one interests themselves in anything outside their immediate surroundings, and I’m more lonely than I’ve ever been. I can’t find any friends and I’m just too autistic to find somewhere else to go.

I just really wish I could be anyone else but me.
