What cured me was returning to the Greeks after finishing the main works of German Idealism

German Idealism fucked my my entire worldview but when all ideas posit themselves and you return to the Greeks you will realize they're the ones you should listen to

Does German Idealism really fuck you up that bad?
I thought it was just the drugs and Deleuze that did it for Nick Land.

Their conceptions, especially Kant's, are firmly rooted in a Newtonian understanding of the world and consciousness

>> No.16196044

>>16195969
Not even close. Your science can't even give an adequate explanation on the most fundamental things like consciousness and being. And it probably never will.

The way you study it without going insane is by understanding it. If you flip through pages of a book without understanding what you're reading, but force yourself to run your eyes over the text for 1,000 pages, I think that is mental illness already.

To understand it, just read what you need to beforehand (chronologically) to understand what the words and concepts they're employing refer to
