Philosophy Misc
Today's interesting read, it also talks about the evolution of the understanding of Buddhism through the Enlightenment.
Voltaire and the Buddha | The Public Domain Review

Re: Philosophy Misc
In today's interesting times, and on reading bits and pieces of this forum, I've found myself while not over my head, blowing nasal bubbles if I don't hold my head at the correct angle. I'd like to read some philosophy, classical, more recent, foundational logic. I've been thinking of picking up some Kant, but am especially things I can find on the Gutenberg Project or other public domain sources and welcome any suggestions, especially geared to understanding the foundations of how the fuck we got where we are.

There's that one guy that Lessans was always going on about, but I disremember his name.
ETA
Will Durant - The Story of Philosophy and The Mansions of Philosophy. It just came to me, like a vision or something.

Curation is a political choice, and so is the choice of who we allow to take lead roles in the theatre of public discourse. I say: If Bannon has to have a public platform, make him work for it. Have him stand on a stage and play the audio footage of the toddlers at the Mexican border screaming for their parents as they’re dragged away to detention. Have him answer to the mothers of children who were gunned down by police because of the color of their skin, or to the friends and family of migrants who drowned in the Mediterranean. That’s not a polite thing to say. It wouldn’t be a polite thing to do. But the idea that politeness and civility is owed to anyone in a position of power is one of the great gotchas of liberal thought.

Damn it. He's right.

Re: Philosophy Misc
Thread starts out as a thing about a specific American politician and not quite entirely American problem, and morphs into something about toxic abuse culture.
