I agree, they shouldn't have changed them.

I don't really like covers that are just the authors face, one of the biggest reasons I don't like dover thrift editions despite being very comfy paperbacks

RETVRN TO TRVDITION

B-b-b-based

I was more talking about the format not the particular images

>>16531051
Somewhere in a vault there is a shelf with every wordsworth edition of this type, stowed away for posterity. Someday it may be all left of our civilization

>>16531030
i would trade my shit 80s apple cover of bg&e for this in 3 seconds, every annotation and underlining i ever made gone to get rid of that stupid cover

>>16531099
On the subject of annotations, my copy of Antichrist (pictured) came with a treasure trove of christian seething in the margins

>>16531125
that's pretty funny. kaufmann spares no expense in his translation footnotes to remind you at every turn that nietzsche was WRONg about WOMEN. true white knight.

I love how much any great thinker's writing makes morons seethe. From Aristotle to Nietzche, every prof and every academic introduction will tell you "these ideas are bad lol whyd you buy the book" and think they've won. Talk of them being "obviously wrong" without examination, ect. It gives me hope though:

Even with all of their curation and censorship, these works will always exist as they do (barring absolute catastrophe). It is strange to think that the ideas we take for granted might be wiped off the face of the earth for a time (the coming dark age), but as long as a copy of Aristotle's Politics or N's Zarathustra exists there will be room for re-enlightenment. Already been through it once anyway.

>>16531191
yeah that's kinda how i imagined it

>16531200
Null dubs indicates that God does not agree with my predictions. Or maybe he just thought I could be more concise. Maybe the time I took to add (the coming dark age) is what cost me those sweet double nines. Golden age inbound? Fingers crossed.

>>16531200
sounds like you've identified yourself with favorite authors so as to feel personally offended on their behalf

a bit childish, don't you think? nietzsche was a good writer but he's not a fundamental author to philosophy

>>16531200
There's definitely a possible future where a fallout 3 protagonist finds a bunch of philosophy books in my room along with my skeleton and a [poor condition] AR15 out of ammo

Needs more orange

>>16531223
They'd find the wordsworth classics vault

>>16531219
In my view Nietzche and Aristotle are the same tier. The books I referenced are the only ones I really care about.

>>16531260
>In my view Nietzche and Aristotle are the same tier.

again, that's personal preference. a philosophy teacher would be right to scoff at you over nietzsche; he's less a philosopher and more a phase for young people.

>>16531269
Not that anon but honestly Shut up retard

>>16531279
see? all nietzscheans are going through a phase; and they shit their diapers when nobody takes nietzsche seriously

>>16531260
If you fuse Aristotle abd Nietzsche you literally get pure Platonism.

>>16531287
Is it underground with thiccc concrete walls?

>>16530904
>reading penguin translations

>>16530904
Same. I ordered a few Penguin Classics a while back and not only were some of those the new covers, but the others were the ones I expected. So they don't even match. Will not buy again.

>>16530904
What makes you think there'd be any potential for irony?

>>16532437
Are you being ironic when you ask that?

>>16532401
The penguins aren't the ones doing the translation, they just publish the books lmao

>>16530904
I don't get it, author's name in orange is I C O N I C at this point, is coloured ink that expensive??

Most Dover books have paintings and other images, though.

I didn’t even know there was a film

>>16530904
Tru, they look like some fakish ebook version.

>a philosophy teacher would be right to scoff at you over nietzsche
Maybe Nietzsche wasn't a philosopher, but it's not really an indult/knock against him, rather the opposite. Even without that he was clever enough to largely affect philosophy and become the grandfather postmodernism.
Moreover, it's not hard to imagine that someone who spent a significant part of his life studying western philosophical tradition will often dismiss Nietzsche who dared to criticize it from the ground up.
>it's just a phase
Any philosopher can be. N appeals to edgy faggots who misinterpret him based on School of Life videos but it's far from his fault.

>>16530963
>not the superior edition

>>16531287
holy based concrete cave dweller anon

>giving a shit about the cover
Cry more, roastie.
