Is there any explicitly life affirming Russian literature?
While authors like Dostoevsky do have uplifting meanings behind the depressing scenery I’m wondering if there is any Russian literature that carries the kind of deeply passionate life affirmation like Nietzsche the gay science?
Nietzscheans are insufferable. You don’t get literature or culture AT ALL. No offense but it has to be said.
You sound like a gay.
Right. We know. Everyone who isn’t a professing Nietzschean life affirming pagan warrior is just le gay. We’ve heard it before.
>We
You even type like a woman. Go be a homosexual somewhere else.
Don’t you have an Asatru gathering to get to and Uberboyo videos to catch up on? Why are you here? This board is for people who read books.
>Don’t you have an Asatru gathering to get to and Uberboyo videos to catch up on?
I don't know what those things are.
>Why are you here?
To call you a homosexual.
>This board is for people who read books.
Then why are you here, homosexual?
Said the homosexual asking for "deeply passionate life affirmation" like in some gay book or something
LMAO
>everyone in the thread is OP
lurk moar newhomosexual
Are you genuinely moronic? The point of my post was not praising Nietzsche as a whole but his explicitly life affirming disposition in for example the gay science.
Did I say I agreed with everything Nietzsche ever said? No? Then why bother highlighting my example as if it was the crux of the post?
Maybe you should practice basic critical thinking in which you can separate concepts from each other before spewing moronic comments like this.
Not me and also if you don’t even understand what life affirming/life-denying means and why I want to avoid books that fall into Consensus sapientium then what are you discussing Nietzsche for?
You don't know what life-affirming even means, homosexual.
You’re obviously baiting. Shove a razor blade up your ass it’s as intellectually simulating as having a conversation with you.
Oddly specific but a Nietzschean would know about shoving shit up his ass. It's your specialty.
Go back to debating on /misc/ or some shit. You engage with litterateur in the most black and white way imaginable so that board is more your speed.
I appreciate that idea separately from many of his other ideas. Being able to pick and chose ideas you agree or disagree with is the point of reading philosophy. Blindly agreeing with someone isn’t reading, it’s following a script you recite to yourself without putting any thought into it.
I want recommendations on Russian authors who agreed with this concept with a separate philosophy constructed around it.
Are all stoics cynics because they share ideas? Are all israelites Christians because they share ideas? No, and agreeing with one idea of Nietzsche doesn’t suddenly make you a Nietzschean.
This is basic critical thinking.
Because I want a author that arose in the Russian cultural context.
You will never be a woman
Nor would I want to be, because then I wouldn’t be able to dick down your mom every night homosexual.
the kielbasa sausage won't do either

She must be real size queen.
My masculine side comes out in your mothers pussy.
Emma, you're embarrassing yourself. Go dilate for a bit.
That’s no way to talk your step dad young man.
I’m not as much of a expert on terms for wieners as you, I’ll make sure to consult you next time.
You already tried to be a man and you failed, Emma. Stick with the woman path. Far more suitable.
wowzer what a heccin roast if I may say so myself, take my gold you kind stranger you have won the internet today
Fricking hell do you really have to consult the hivemind for everything you do?, back to plebbit with you
Your masculine side comes out every time you're angry, Emma. You won't pass if you keep seething like this.
Not either of the guys you're replying to, but if you really want to know, no there is no life-affirming Russian literature. If you want to know why, go live in Russia. See how life-affirming it makes you feel.
Fair point but many authors have written their uplifting works in response to depressing circumstances which is why I’m especially curious about Russia and how a potential life affirming author would come to the conclusion in the midst of Russian living conditions.
>many authors have written their uplifting works in response to depressing circumstances
Yes, they exist, and you already know them, so what else do you need?
You’re a Nietzschean and that is why you’re looking for “life-affirming literature”. Are you not?
You don't understand the Russian "soul" anon. To suffer is to affirm life.
Sorry to derail the thread. I’ve seen anons say Laurus by Vodolazkin is good and it’s on my “I’ll read it someday” list. Can anyone itt vouch for it? Is it a downer or does it end on a positive note?
