<p>Does anyone know anything about serious philosophy - like neo-Platonism and scholasticism and stuff?</p>
<p>If you go to UChicago you’ll learn a lot about that sort of thing.</p>
<p>I most definitely will. Wikipedia articles on the subject are difficult to understand/get through.</p>
<p>Because Wikipedia is often edited by procrastinating grad students…</p>
<p>Wikipedia is my true love. Don’t speak badly about it. D:</p>
<p>lol I am about to post the nerdiest thread in history :]</p>
<p>^ If there’s anyone who would know that it’s the nerdiest thread in history it’d be you…</p>
<p>lol true. Maybe second to that one where I dreamt about my CC idols</p>
<p>^ I don’t remember that one… I do remember the one where you waxed lyrical about AOM though</p>
<p>yeah that one haha</p>
<p>I’m sure people have made nerdier ones. Maybe about WoW or something</p>
<p>WoW is geeky, not nerdy.</p>
<p>But back to the OP, does anyone know any good books in a non-textbook, non-technical style for philosophy n00bs?
Or does this sort of thing not happen with philosophy?</p>
<p>philosophy is never “legit”
that’s why it’s philosophy</p>
<p>I’m not really into pre-Enlightenment philosophy. Really, for me, philosophy begins with Kant, so I’m afraid we don’t really have much to discuss together…</p>

<p>Oh, those postmodernist guys are cool. Foucault ftw.</p>
