Why does it have to be Being and Time? Why can it not be Being, Time and Love?

>> No.13839566

no. you need to define the next trend in names. if another author uses your name schema, then you know you've made it.

>> No.13839568

You just got trips so I think that's a sign you should break the mold and write a book with three names

these are still two names. Something is just being denoted.

Finally a place I can post these two useless observations

As someone who studies philosophy and who has worked in a library I feel so bad for every fucker who tried to be part of the Twentieth-Century Trope of "Something and Something"--style Titles Gang but ended up a complete nobody. Even the lower rungs of the "somebodies" of the twentieth century at least had a handful of readers to justify their pretentious titles, like Gabriel Marcel (who?) with his Being and Having, or his Presence and Immortality. Marcel is a literally who but at least he has a goddamn Wikipedia page. But if you go through the library stacks for long enough you will find dozens of books with titles with this format, all the PhD theses or mediocre unread late-career books of total fucking nobodies who who taught at state schools, and were never anything more than derivative emanations of totally dead zeitgeists.

The other observation is how many people try to ape famous book titles. Go search "Varieties of ... Experience," or just "Varieties of," in your university library catalog and count the billions of who gives a shit books using the title structure of James' original Varieties of Religious Experience. "... and its Discontents" is another obvious one. "The Dialectic of..." is another one. I hate these fucking people.

I just searched and found this:
>Time and Timelessness, or, The varieties of Temporal Experience: A Psychoanalytic Inquiry
>by Hartocollis, Peter
>1983
