Yup I'm currently reading it but a translation of such a work is often hard to understand...
I didn't get the idea of Dasein only being authentic "in rare instances", if you have any quote that would be really appreciated.

Well, I see philosophy as a way of understanding how one must or should live, I arrived at the conclusion that I would find the answer in Heidegger's idea of "authenticity" but I'm a bit lost in B&T so I wanted to know if someone here was knew more about that.

Yup, I know, but man I'm not strong enough for the moment.

Niaaaaa, but you therefore won't be able to theorize them both in a system of thought ?

To put this in a meme : is this the ultimate "spook" ?

Mhh, when you read the Tractatus you understand how Wittgenstein became so religious.
As I see it I understood that the idea he wanted to convey is that the language in inhenrelty flawed and the conclusion to that is the famous 7th proposition : "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent". (as I understood it for example it is for a human being impossible to describe the beauty of a landscape and useless to try to desribe it).
He understood that there is a new real beyond language that is the realm of the toughts, much purer but also egoist since you cannot 'show' it. Thus his 'religious' view (btw I would rather say that he is a mystic).
As for me I think that this 'realm of thoughts' can be expressed through art (music, poetry or painting etc.) thus making it more 'objective' so that people can interact with it.
Then to go back to mysticism that's why I read Cioran after Wittgenstein, it's because he takes Wittgenstein's quietism further and, I think, proves that the only state of mind a human being could want to obtain is melancholy (which is totally different from depression).

Those dudes are for me the guys that mostly 'finished' philosophy, which amazes me everyday.

what are some books that have a lot of wisdom on them?

Which Canadian university would be the best for a tiny hardcore literature program where I can read and do w/e I want?

Anyon tiny obscure Canadian universities outside of the 'good cities' do a sweet unpretentious serious lit program?

Doesnt matter who started it, presence of tripfags derailed the thread.

Once again.

Isn't it time we stopped this and tried to understood one and other?

People have the option to not be religious, yet they choose to be. Why is this so?
