Books to rebuild society

[Anonymous No.16531809]

Hey /lit/,
Send some books that would help rebuild society after a complete technical and societal collapse. Architecture, metallurgy, anthropology, sciences, up until the early Industrial or higher if you would. I want to know how this world works at its core. Recommend books that would be useful to make it all again from scratch. Assume I know absolutely nothing about the world. Cost and language is not a hindrance. Any recommendations on general subjects would be appreciated too.
Faggotly yours,
OP

You don't need to know all that, you just need to know how set up the right intial conditions to where people will naturally rediscover it.

The most important thing to bring would be a physics textbook and a calculus textbook.

Kind of shitty but the premise of the book is exactly what you're talking about is The Knowledge: How To Rebuild Our World After An Apocalypse. More of a pop sci overview of basic technology

There is absolutely no knowledge more fundamentally important than Physics with just the information inside a freshman physics book society could build computers, satellites, harness atomic energy. Heck I would go so far as to say that as long as knowledge of physics endures so will advanced human society.

A freshman physics book doesn't cover Turing machines which allow it. You need a good logic background to develop a computer

They also study analytic philosophy. Not the point. You take too many axioms in this physics and calculus that you would confuse everyone until you got to those conclusions, which isn't necessarily going to happen.

someone shilling a faggot e-celeb book. It has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.

[Anonymous No.16533227]

>>16533209
Neither does a general physics book. A Bible allows a good narrative of reality in a developed ethics system, creation narrative etc. You really think giving a physics book to any new culture is what they're going to value or care about?

It'll be deemed esoteric knowledge for millennia

lmfao how bout we start two different societies yours can have the cave people mythology and get stuck in THE DARK AGES while mine will start with a fundamental knowledge of optics, electromagnetism, and mechanical energy.

But they won't and if they don't reach end civilization status quickly it'll be because the book is labeled esoteric and never read. You can't give a physics book to a random uneducated person. I'd recommend singularly Plato which can eventually be supplanted by Christianity when it develops

Also, to add, the dark ages happened in spite of being extremely developed technologically contemporarily. Technology doesn't defend you from a dark age, it's too derivative. Christianity survived in spite of technology's, mostly, blunder.

It was a mathematician who held back the roman army not a chemist.

[Anonymous No.16534632]

History book based on philosophy from ancient to modern

That will give them orders of magnitude, units of measurement like height weight distance etc, theory of the atom, Soul, spirit, justice, intellect, constitutions, republics, democracy’s etc etc it just keeps going

Then you can start adding the subjects that built off the philosophers

So math, English, chemistry, etc

If I could only pick two it’d be the most robust philosophy history book and an encyclopedia
