it's still a slow board, my phoneposting friend. just in another way now

Chinese philosophy lacks the rigor of their Greek contemporaries. In a handful of Plato's dialogues there is more wisdom than can be found in all one hundred schools of China.

Faggot. I would argue most 1750+ """intellectuals""" aren't worth reading, but those whose works have stood the test of time, are.

>Thinking about video games on any deeper level than fun can be annoying.

Fun is a pathetic buzzword used by filthy plebeians who participate in artistic mediums as a form of entertainment instead of trying to learn or become enlightened. The same people play Call of Duty, watch Transformers 4, and read Fifty Shades of Grey.

You should not associate with those people, but you should be aware of their existence, because you have to work and socialize with them every day, and take advantage of their abilities and talents outside of art in order to be efficient in society.

I wanna get into philosophy, all the way from Plato to Zizek. What should I read and in what order?
