His primer on Heidegger is far better than actually reading Heidegger.

Maybe the vax made it worse. Anyway idek if he is vaxxed but if he is he is also not worth listening to. Anyone who took the vaccine is insufficient in at least integrity if not intelligence.

Guess we'll never get that Boethius lecture. What insights did he have on his deathbed?

>Boethius's best known work is the Consolation of Philosophy (De consolatione philosophiae), which he wrote at the very end of his career, awaiting his execution in prison. This work represented an imaginary dialogue between himself and philosophy, with philosophy personified as a woman, arguing that despite the apparent inequality of the world, there is, in Platonic fashion, a higher power and everything else is secondary to that divine Providence.

Nothing wrong with any of that. It's the conclusion that sucks, and keep the world a suck-ass place.

Yeah, I wasn't really implying it was. It's just always funny to me to catch historical examples of such things. Dude would have posted here for sure.

It's not as much a conclusion rather than a resignational death bed cope towards suck-ass physical reality which contrasts metaphysical spirituality.

Kek, I was thinking of him too.
Both Boethius and Dante had a huge importance and influence, and had the same autism. It can't be a coincidence.

We cannot let this thread die for another "books about tfwnogf" thread. Are you listening to any of his lectures today, IQfy?

Yes, i am listning to the one about Phaedo, when Socrates about to drink the hemlock and how he laughed at everyone that was crying for his death. I remember he mentioned during one of his private course in 2022 that i participate that Nietzsche interpretation of Socrates thanking Asclepius is wrong, nietzsche saw Socrates thanking Aslepius for curing him of life. But Sugrue counter Nietzsche with other interpretation that, Socrates thank asclepius because he is cured from the fear of death. "To Philosophize is to learn to die" and all that. im still thinking about it what it means.

My bad. I had assumed nobody would care and that thread would swiftly die a death when I made it. I definitely did not think anyone else had or would make a thread, so I didn't ctrl + f.
I went with young Soog. I figured it would catch more knowing eyes. Old Soog and social media posts just say "ignore" to the mind.

RIP he made things very understandable for me back when I started getting into philosophy and overall made philosophy entertaining for me which I needed back then
Even the lectures on his death bed were pretty fun, there was always some perspective I never thought of or never heard anyone explain it that way
The world needs more teachers like him
Dude seemed butthurt at Schopenhauer tho lmao
