Theory Thread

Since a bunch of faggots our cousins from 4/pol/ are visiting I thought we could have a theory thread.

I'm going to dump a bunch of books I picked up from Holla Forums, /freedu/, and other related places.

Please feel free to ask questions, contribute, or bitch along sectarian lines because these files are antithetical to your flavor of socialism.

Also if you download anything that's fucked up please let me know. My hard drive had a corrupted sector recently so if shit's all fakakta I can replace it.

Tangentially related, does anyone here have an E-Reader? I've been reading lots of books in PDF form recently and it'd be better if I could could use an E-Reader. I mainly want one with good battery life, and that can use PDFs or a file format PDFs can easily be converted to. I don't really give a shit about the online shop associated with it because most of the books I read were written by dead people.

I have one

...

Well would you recommend the model you have? If so what features does it have, are there any other ones you think are better?

add some jouissance to your life my dude

I have a Kobo Mini

I don't think it does PDF files but the battery life on it seriously lasts weeks

I have this:
wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Hanlin_V5
I read books using it all the time, mostly epub, djvu and pdf formats, but it can handle some others too. Sometimes pdfs are not very comfy with their retarded layouts, but epubs are really sweet.

You might want to get something bigger though.

How about reading something that isn't the same for once?

...

How about posting something then?

Does anyone have Zizek's new book Disparities or Antigone?

Thanks

I think we should rather try to get a zip of theory, further categorized into Authors or genres rather than dumping all those pdfs one by one.

That's not a bad idea. Much of this collection was started with a "Holla Forums archive" I downloaded ages ago.

Sophisticated dialectical materialism can turn any head.

anybody have a good introduction to philosophy?

Depends, what kind? I started off my education in political theory with The Prince.

I might be wrong on this (please anyone correct me if that's the case), but you can you can convert PDFs to EPUB, which can be read by any e-reader.

something that will teach me the fundamentals of philosophy
you know what is ontology, phenomenology, and so on

or maybe something that will explain to me what did philosophers said like what is so important about kant, descartes, hegel, kripke, deleuze, and so on

also some non comunist political theory would be nice

is it really that good?

...

Yeah, I know

But sometimes you gotta try

well can't help you much there.

As for the prince, it's a very good start for understanding the basics and how state power works in the real world. Some parts are outdated, but you should read it before moving on to some of the bigger questions, the first of which is the legitimacy of the state.

halfchan /lit/ made a guide

thank you

this looks great

START WITH THE GREEKS

I have a large one. The android-based e-readers can almost always read PDFs, and you can actually use any of the android tablets as a reading device. Most of the time I read on my computer; the large screen and ability to view pages side-by-side makes it worth it.

E-ink based readers have much longer battery life than the LCD or OLED ones, but getting large screens with e-ink is difficult. I used to have the Kindle DX, which was awesome, but I think they ceased production. In any case, my battery lasts over 8 hours at average brightness, which is enough for me.

PDF-to-ePUB is hit or miss (usually miss), so I tend not to use it.

I love this meme

Any apps that you can use to upload these files to ebook format? Pdf reading is god awful.

if you can't master quantum mechanics you don't deserve to learn organic chemistry tbh

START WITH THE GERMANS

"start with boring irrelevant shit"
wew lad

iliad and odyssey were cool but they aren't hard hitting shit. only the philosophical stuff is good

If you don't understand the societal context in which the philosophy evolved then you don't understand the philosophy.

Especially in regards to the Greeks where so much of the source material has been lost, seeing the ideals in action is especially important.

You really don't need to know QM to learn organic chemistry. Physical chemistry is a different story, as is going to graduate school.

Also, basic QM really doesn't help much with understanding basic organic beyond the existence and interaction of orbitals (they typically aren't going to talk about multiplet/excited states much, and they usually don't bother with the mathematical details of how NMR works). Also, it's not like the orbitals they teach you in organic for molecules correspond to the actual orbitals.

Shulgin said it best: "Orbitals are for mathematicians. Chemistry is for people who like to cook." The point being that undue preoccupation with "foundations" can cause you to miss out on a very rich qualitative theory and its implications for mankind.

As computing power increases and ab initio methods become more appropriate for larger molecules (Fully Automated Luxury Chemistry!), the new generations of practicing organic chemists need an ever stronger grounding in QM. The most recent edition of Carey-Sundberg (part A) not-so-subtly hints as much. But you'd be remiss in using it as a pedagogical tool. Even Fleming's excellent text was more about rationalizing "fringe" examples of reactivity than replacing electron pushing intuition.

Those with a serious interest should consult Bachrach's Computational Organic Chemistry.

I've arranged the stuff I found useful it into a Mega folder
