/lit/ - Literature

In my relatively small city the public libraries have about 1600 philosophy books in 12 different languages. Desu I'm actually surprised that there's Cicero available in Latin.

henlo, iam from /tv/.
so you guys read books and talk about them rite?
how can i transition from /tv/ to here?

I don't think I can write something that will include a smartphone or a computer. It would be too cringe. Also, reading such books makes me cringe a little. Is this the consequence of reading too many classics, or do you guys feel the same ?

You are so hopelessly beyond help if you think watching a guru on youtube and practicing on your own will allow you to attain moksha. The entire purpose of a guru or spiritual father is to discuss your personal process, not some step by step guide. Spiritual development isn't like following a recipe book. You clearly have not read Guenon's perspectives on itiation and and going down the path of psuedo-initiation that he describes in the Reign of Quantity. If you don't have exoteric supports and are trying to jump right into the highest metaphysical teachings in Hinduism, there is nothing I can say at this point that would come close to even beginning to convey the stupidity in doing such a thing. Humble yourself and begin to process of purification before any metaphysical ventures. "Munda Cor Meum" as it is said in the west.

>reading Plato
>skipping his metaphysical dialogues
That's the only reason you read Plato in the first place

/lit/ likes traditionalism since it is an edgy anti-modern philosophy that doesn't require the same amount of background knowledge to get into it as a typical philosophical school. Most people who read these authors have absolutely no personal spirituality and only like the concept of transcendence as a far off ideal. Don't get me wrong, I think Guenon is a great writer, but he is vastly overrated on this site. We have THREE threads in the catalog pertaining to traditionalism last I checked and regularly have them almost every other day. There are other religious figures that are far more important in the history of esoteric and exoteric thought that aren't brought up simply because they are not en vogue.

>art is affirmation and cannot be conceived of otherwise (— let alone as negation, which finds expression in destruction
Not sure I get it. Dont you need to destroy a rock to make a statue? Even, dont you need to destroy photographies to make a collage? What about performance art? If I destroy something into a pile of rubble to make a statement or purely for aesthetic reason, why wouldnt it be art?
Isnt it overall more logical and explanatory to say that the process of art making isnt in the hand of the creator, but in the eye of the person that categorize it as such?

I went with 5.4.2 and just assumed myself to be a power user, whatever the fuck that is.

Thanks for helping my shit to not be so fucked up, /lit/!
