I recently finished The Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Next up comes A Theory of Monads, a lovely first edition from 1922 on Liebniz's theory of monadology. I think monads are but part of philosophy is knowing what's and why so you can know what's not .

we've got all these philosophers out here, these philosophy aficionado's applying all their philosophical knowledge to use right here, out here, on epicmafia
I'm currently on The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson; and I absolutely recommend it to everyone reading this post. Lighthearted feel-good philosophy
lol just lol like firts 3 chapters of das kapital marx talks about C-M-C, wich is non profitable exchange of commodities that was described by mainstream economists at the time, what the hell r u saying
"Socialist" books are awful. Try "The Theory of Industrial Organization" by Tirole. Hegel is fun to read, but everything that spawned from him has been pure garbage. The number one misconception that socialist "philosophers" are driven by is the claim that mainstream economics can't model socialism or non-profit driven behavior.
Socialism is interesting (and many economists have thought so) - but Marxism is pure intellectual cancer. It ranks with post-structuralism as the worst intellectual traditions to ever exist.
to be fair he wasnt just critizing max but german idealism as a whole, but u do have a point, i think he just loved writing and i think thats cool the funny thing is engels and max stirner were close, i wonder how was their relationship after engels's best mate wrote the book
i think u should read capitalist literature even being anti capitalist or intervetionist literature even being anti intervention, i agree, but i want to read some essential socialist books rn and nothing more current than bookchin's book or something more iconic than das kapital
Sometimes its good to read material from opposite perspectives.
Anyway I just finished Iberia then after also reading conquers, brides and concubines; The story of Goths, and Basque History of The World. I'm a little exhausted on Spain for right now even though its opened me up onto wanting to read more about Catholicism lore and history.
I have some celt books lined up but I'm probably going to skip to reading some stuff about keynes.
