@DreamRedo@jimineuropa As a topic, it’s really fascinating. But I mostly read it like a set of instructions, as if I’m watching a walkthrough of a game so I can play it myself afterward. 😄😄😄😄
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa You know, I feel like they’re a little scared of their fans. They’re probably thinking, “Who the hell is this person who actually likes my work?” 😂
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa Ah, that’s so funny. The fact that you’re interested in things that even the library probably doesn’t quite understand is hilarious. 😂
I think you should email Ligotti himself too, if he’s still alive. 😄

@DreamRedo@jimineuropa The fact that you email cultural institutions reminds me of the letters in The Shawshank Redemption where he keeps writing to get books for the prison library. :)))
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa No unfortunately I only have the files on my tablet, and there are quite a lot of them.
Where do you think I should make a list so I can talk about them and get people’s opinions? I’m not familiar with book platforms.
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa Thanks. Yeah, his work is pretty close to Campbell’s. He has a really interesting perspective. You know, I actually discovered all of these people because they had some works on totalitarianism, and then I went on to explore the rest of their work. :))
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa True. I really love this academic tradition of writing simply;make so many difficult ideas accessible.I remember how much I struggled with Kant. Then I read Scruton’s book, and the way opened up for me. I’ve really enjoyed Scruton’s work in general; fresh, original and brilliant
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa I looked up Janion, the way she had books stacked on the shelves was beautiful. I think the best place to stack books is on the stairs between floors. The most beautiful sight.
I don’t know whether it’s a good thing that they haven’t replied to the email or not +
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa This is my humble library. I have quite a few books by Proust, Cassirer, and Berlin. I read the rest of the English ones as ebooks
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa I like it. It somehow reminds me of Leopardi and the question of how to live well. A good illusion and a bit of human solidarity. It’s lovely.
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa I don’t know if they’re related (they are not 😁), but we can imagine that they are and try to bargain a little with existence and life. :))))))
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa Ah, I actually like that. I’d be curious to know too. Recently, while reading about anti rationalist movements, I found it fascinating that some people believed in something so deeply without becoming dogmatic. I haven’t been able to do that, at least not so far. 😄
“The World, men find, is not just out of joint but tumbling away into the nothingness of absurdity. Nietzsche, who from his supreme peak saw far ahead of it all… had for it the simple, because thoughtful, words ‘The wasteland grows’.”
Martin Heidegger
@DreamRedo@jimineuropa Okay, then we won’t fight fate, but we’re not going on a diet or going to the gym either. It has to be a deal. we’ll make some concessions, and existence has to make some concessions too. :)))))
@Bjmgd8 نفهمیدن مقصود منفیای پشتش نیست، تمایزه.
مثلا احتمالأ چیزی که در آن دوران از روان میفهمیدند رو ما الان نفهمیم یا لااقل با تفاوت بزرگی بفهمیم. مثل اینه که یک نفر Transcendental رو ترجمه کنه به متعالی؛ متعالی در جهان ایرانی یک دنیای مفهومی متمایزی داره حتی اگر ترجمهاش درست باشه
