To be honest English and German Romanticism are far superior to its French sister.

Anyway, first time opening the imagine since I've seen it circulating, but T.S. Eliot has anti-semitic shit? I never spotted that in what little I've read from him.

It's just something to balance out the right-wing /lit/. You're a self-indoctrinating pleb if you purposefully ignore opposing literature. I'm more of a conservative/traditionalist myself, but I do plan on reading both left and right wing lit.

No. The best way to do that is with modern textbooks about logic, where this should be teached.

Philosophy Grad student here. Dilettante meanderings through the works of logicians does not prepare you for logic classes whatsoever, let alone a proper understanding of the work. In fact only the less technical works of those authors listed will be the ones you can easily get a hold of.

The Logic Book by Bergmann, Moor, and Nelson is the go-to standard. An Introduction to Non-Classical Logic by Priest is another good step towards an understanding of Modal Logic. Basically its much more mathematical, boring, and technical than you can anticipate.
