I'm not familiar with that author, but I like a good debate.Benjamin Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661999592897690031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320802302155582419.post-74739863725111577952013-12-15T19:47:06.635-05:002013-12-15T19:47:06.635-05:00Oh, on a side note I found this review of a review...Oh, on a side note I found this review of a review over at the looping world blog: http://loopingworld.com/2013/10/24/thomas-covenant-is-a-rapist/<br /><br />I thought you might find it thematically interesting, in that in the story reviewed, the guy rejects a fantasy world (even more thematic, in his own world he essentially has/is a dead body) and despoils it. What's surprising is that the review of it also, essentially, bashes the fiction and despoils it, even as he sorta kinda says he thinks its good. The paralel is really quite interesting and the guy from the looping world blog caught onto the problematism of the review.<br /><br />Thought it might be of interest!Callan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15373053356095440571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320802302155582419.post-25300529557961690232013-12-14T13:26:17.345-05:002013-12-14T13:26:17.345-05:00Good to hear from you again, William. If you get a...Good to hear from you again, William. If you get a chance to read the novel, I hope you'll think of reviewing it on Amazon. <br /><br />Let me know when your eBook is out. You know, I've put out four more eBook installments of this blog. For your convenience, I've added links to them here:<br /><br />https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B58ZW3GfOaFFWFJDdU5LQWNfdzQ/edit?usp=sharing<br /><br />https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B58ZW3GfOaFFX19oUDNhSko0QjQ/edit?usp=sharing<br /><br />https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B58ZW3GfOaFFQjRhT0NiMTdYSGs/edit<br /><br />https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B58ZW3GfOaFFdXY0WVZRLXhRb2s/edit?usp=sharing<br /><br />As for English editions of Mainlander's books, I wish I could give you better news, but as far as I know his two-volume work is still untranslated. Through googling, I've found some relevant scraps:<br /><br />http://archive.is/QVeGm<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_rUMyOlcfc<br /><br />http://philosophy-of-redemption.blogspot.ca/2013/05/the-rotting-god-mainlanders-metaphysic.html<br /><br />If you haven't already read it, I'd recommend Thomas Ligotti's The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. That book points to a number of other fascinating sources of sobering thoughts.Benjamin Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661999592897690031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320802302155582419.post-60997665520598018512013-12-14T12:54:00.705-05:002013-12-14T12:54:00.705-05:00Also, I am re-reading RWUG Vol 1, is there any way...Also, I am re-reading RWUG Vol 1, is there any way for an exclusively English reader to get any exposure to the work and writing of Philipp Mainländer?William@TWGhttp://thinkerswithguts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320802302155582419.post-74086070029262168892013-12-14T12:25:18.722-05:002013-12-14T12:25:18.722-05:00Hi Benjamin,

I've just started blogging again and plan to release a short ebook soon. Take care. <br /><br />WilliamWilliam@TWGhttp://thinkerswithguts.comnoreply@blogger.com
