/lit/ - Literature

This thread regards the coming (or already present) (post-)post-modern philosophy. I would like to hear the thoughts of my fellow literati.

Some questions to start:
>my thoughts in green

Who are the most relevant contemporary philosophers?
>Personally, I’d say Lacan, Deleuze, Zizek, Girard, Sloterdjik, Delanda, Land, Habermas, Kripke, Chomsky, and Peterson. If anyone could synthesize all that you could become pretty famous.

What is the new canon? Do we have to contend with a world canon?
>I think there are a lot of insights to be had from the East. Especially when viewed comparatively alongside contemporaneous Western sources. These bring to light a lot of things that have been seemingly lost or overlooked. I think McEvilley, Kingsley, Hadot, and Uzdavinys are all interesting in their "shamanic" or “mystical” interpretation of the Greeks. And, contrary to popular belief, not all Easterners are anti-rational or illogical.

Do we need a new philosophy for the contemporary era?
>In my opinion, whether or not we take philosophy to be a historical enterprise or an ahistorical enterprise then there is nevertheless a need to either create new ideas and better questions or rediscover old ideas and remember questions. But it is both. Thus the techniques stay the same but the outcome changes. Praxis and theory.

What is the future of philosophy?
>I am a capitalist and a schizophrenic so I love Deleuze. He is inspiring to read, especially insofar as the possibility of a left accelerationism is concerned. Gives me nostalgic feels of Walter Benjamin's esoteric Marxism. The dialectical spirals are happening faster now. I also wonder if new age and occultism becoming more popular will end up influencing philosophy :^)


Anyway, please share philosophical literature and discuss.
