i started reading a visit from the goon squad. i read the description of the kleptomaniac main character filching someone's wallet from their unattended handbag, and the victim is totally anonymous, signified only by a loud and insulting trickling of urine from the locked bathroom stall - doesn't she realize the main character is DYING for a goddamn pee! - and this is all being recounted to her therapist who asks her annoying questions about "how she feels". and I thought yeah this is gonna be good. then it started sucking after twenty pages and i put i down. c'est la vie

in my class the professor kept going on about how the poetics had been misinterpreted as a set of rules for poets and i read it and its exactly that, a set of rules, fuck aristotle



keep in mind the translator is necessarily interpreting... im nearing the end of "what is called thinkign" and heidegger has spent like 4 lectures on a very close reading of a single sentence of parmenides demonstrating why he thinks the usual translation is woefully inadequate

i struggle even with just greek characters; some of the heidegger texts i have transliterate the greek but this one just straight up prints it so its a learning experience. 200 pages in i finally mostly can mentally transliterate them

thats what aristotle always does, he just describes how people do things in a systematic way. like aristotelian logic isnt an invention of aristotle's except in the sense that a scientist "invents" his own observations.
