Book Reviews of Principia Discordia
Book Review: a fine read
Summary: 5 Stars
oh dear, i don't think i can write an intelligent review about this.
well, it's not your typical philosophy book. or scripture as the case may be. it's funny, for sure. it's easy to misinterpret, and this is evidenced by a handful of people who run around saying things are and are not at the same time. this may be spoiling it for some, so if you want to head into this as ignorant as possible, don't read the next paragraph.
so pretty much what's happening here is discordianism means things all depend on perspective. yes, there IS such a thing as moral relativism, and that's OK. throw a dash of zen philosophy in there (less is more), and you're well on your way. i recommend anton robert wilson's PROMETHEUS RISING and perhaps the TAO TE CHING or ZEN MIND, BEGINNER'S MIND to supplement principia discordia. otherwise, you may get really confused and miss the point. i'd call this an advanced philosophy book, especially for us greasy westerners.
also, there's a website with this entire book on it. found that out after i bought it. durrrrr.
Summary of Principia Discordia
This book is the bible of Discordianism...the worship of Eris, the goddess of Chaos. This book contains subversive truths, absurd lies, guerilla philosophy, and several naughty words. Open mind before reading!Puzzles & Games Books
