Post any Cred Forums-related literature you're reading and also anything comfy you want to share today. Happy Saturday!
I'm reading pic related >Mind & Cosmos is a (relatively new) book by a notable NYU philosophy professor that argues against scientific materialism (like that of Richard Dawkins and other edgy faggots) as an adequate worldview. He even defends creationism and theology a little from attacks by other philosophers.
>Confessions was written by a 4th century Pagan turned hedonistic fedora turned Christian. Aquinas was a follower of Mani before he became a Christian, which was the 4th century equivalent of of American "spiritual-but-not-religious" liberalism (Buddha, Zoroaster, and Jesus were all prophets... earlier revelations of the true religion as being limited in effectiveness because they were local, taught in one language to one people... but later adherents lost sight of the original truth... the world is a struggle between good and evil).
>haven't read On Grace and Free Will so don't know anything about it yet

Go to the library and pick them up bud, nothing to be jelly about.

Interesting. I'm going through pic related for the second time.

The coffee stain running down the handle of your cup bothered me more than it should have.

Nice freshman year contrarian reading choices.
You are obviously not a real science student so when you eventually realize your retarded beliefs got you nowhere with your arabic painting/canadian culture degree dont kill yourself near any of us who actually contribute to society. Also >argues against scientific materialsm >NYU (LOL)
You dont even understand what you are saying.
Jackson Hall
what does that fortune cookie say?
Christian Rivera
Feel free to go more in depth on why you feel this way, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion. NYU is the best school for philosophy in the world, though not many people know this.

Crack it open. Since what I'm reading recommends not to ignore all and every message..

Not Cred Forums related necessarily but I'm nearing the end of Pynchon's V. It's been a hell of an experience.
Jaxson Brown
Currently reading the book on the left. Mom keeps calling and adking if I've read the book on the right yet.
Is it any good? Should I read it?
Anthony Martinez
GODDAMNIT I meant I'm currently reading the book on the RIGHT and I'm being pestered about the book on the LEFT.
Christopher Wright
Keep going, man.
Isaac Powell
How do you like the Orthodox book? No idea about one on the left.
Jackson Baker

>Confessions My favorite book. Awesome man, hope you're enjoying it.
Owen Walker
(Posting from my computer instead of my phone, IDK if my ID will change since I'm still using the same internet) It's pretty good so far. It's about Orthodox priests in Russia and how happiness can be found even in the littlest of places. Life in Moscow, and that sort of thing. Very inspirational.
Jace Hernandez
I'm reading some Edward Feser's blogposts for the moment.
Lucas Carter
Just finished Tommy Robinson's Enemy of the State. Poor bastard
Brandon Scott
Holy shit you got triggered... were you molested by a priest or something?
Luis Davis
>(((NYU))) >(((philosophy professor))) that's bad enough, but then we get to this gem: >argues against scientific materialism DIS-MISSED!
Reductionist materialism is the only viewpoint that consistently generates theories with actual predictive/retrodictive power. Arguing against materialism is literally arguing for magical thinking. It's a denial of reality.
>calling Dawkins an edgy faggot Oh, young padawan.
