Secret Teachings of All Ages | Manly P Hall

I‘m slowly coming out of “new parent hibernation”. We took a family trip to the bookstore, and this was my pick.

The Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece | Three Initiates

so-so

I had massive problems following this audiobook because the narration talked about a lot of platitudes and the guiding principles were always ended with the appendix „The Kybalion“, which was quite annoying. But I liked the chapters about correspondance and polarity very much and found them very interesting. So, I‘m torn. ⚡️

Simulations of God: The Science of Belief | John Lilly

pan

This is an examination of the sacred realms of self, religion, science, philosophy, sex, drugs, politics, money, crime, war, family, and spiritual paths.

The purpose of the book is to provide readers with a unique view of inner reality to help them unfold new areas for growth and self-realization.

He takes on so much with this book, I felt like he had trouble explaining what he meant, either that or he's a poor writer.

The Problems of Philosophy | Bertrand Russell

I've been studying epistemology in my class this semester and I've been looking for books to help me understand it better. I added this book to my ThriftBooks cart two days ago, and then I surreptitiously found it at the library book sale yesterday! It's annotated and I'm enjoying not only reading Russell's writings, but also the scribblings of the previous owner who was also trying to make sense of it all.

Schwifty I don‘t know if you‘re into graphic novels, but there‘s one I particularly enjoy called Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth which is the story of Russell‘s early years, courtship of his wife and struggle to formulate his analytical philosophy. I majored in philosophy in college and read a ton of his work. He was particularly accessible when others, especially non-English philosophers, were not so much to the layman. Anyway, happy reading. 7mo

Rachel.Rencher @Schwifty Thank you for the recommendation! I love graphic novels & that one is now added to my ThriftBooks cart. 👍 7mo

Immanuel Kant's Kritik der reinen Vernunft | Immanuel Kant

Sent to me by a friend I am not sure the source

Box has a box set of Kant 🤣😂🤣

CatLass007 I have never read Kant. Are you someone who has read him, liked it or at least learned from? If so, do you have any thoughts on an entry-level book for the uninitiated? I‘m always on the lookout for new authors to teach me new things. 9mo

CatLass007 Oh, and it‘s great that your books made it to you anyway. It‘s too bad that the gift card was lost and you don‘t know who sent it. I hope it was a generous Litten who will speak up. 9mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Clearly an uncultured thief 😉 9mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @CatLass007 I dabbled in philosophy in college and lets just say that we had a super rude rhyme for Kant he is tough, and a bit boring (he probably isn't as bad as I remember, or we pretended, I do believe in his founding belief). I think if you are interested in the philosophy of ethics and reasoning I would start with this one -

Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals

ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage clearly. No dragons, no shirtless men on the cover. Can't be good - ohhh maybe the “thief“ already has these books? 😂 9mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Lol! Then they should have left a note with their review… 🤣 9mo

CatLass007 Thanks! 9mo
