1. There are 4 main types of hellenistic philosophy- stoic, cynic, epicurean, and skeptic (the rest is insignificant drivel).
2. Nietzsche is boring.
3. Kierkgaard is confused (how can you be existentialist and Christian at the same time!?!?!).
4. Don’t try reading Principia Mathematica- it’s impossible.
This is an account of what I have gathered from my recent conversations with Mr. Chue, the devourer of philosophy books. He enlightened me on his book-buying sprees, and I quote, “Basically I go into the shop, and give myself a time limit for the time spent there, say an hour. Then I’ll head to the philosophy section and look at every title. I have a rule that I will only give myself 10 seconds to decide whether to buy it or not. After 10 seconds if I haven’t decided, I will move on anyway.”
Hardcore sia.
