Kafka used a lot of dream work and put it on paper. It made sense from a psychoanalytic perspective. He is writing about the worst dreams we all have of powerlessness.

Kafka´s novels foresaw the coming of an age when people would be more humble, than they were in his time. They would be asking for permission to do all kinds of things, but they would be using their intuition to ask for each permission. Its similar to modern day New Age thought, when you remove ascended masters and related concepts from the equation. Once you have removed anti - vaccers and maskless people too from the same equation, you will have a terrifying understanding of the importance of the content in these stories.

As a 29 year old man myself, who has been undergoing an overwhelming spiritual transformation, relate to Kafka.

The paper and pen are my refuge and when much time passes without being able to free my thoughts it feels like a fire inside me has to be set free. It feels really lonely, but your channel and videos have been subtle finger taps onto a dimming light bulb, every tap renews the light that was slowly fading. Thank you.

His works are metaphors for his own life (thus characters named K. from Kafka). We are rather reading a journal, a damn well written one, than mere novels. Therefore we might feel some sort intimate connection with the author, not just the characters. We begin to empathetically understand him and feel the urge to comfort him. And if we understand him, we might even begin to integrate his lenses through which he perceives the world. Thus, I think the nature of his genius transfers from originality to relatedness.

Although everyone has a unique path in life and unique views, the world would be far dimmer and darker without Kafka, Hesse, Camus, Arthur Conan Doyle, Confucius, and Mark Twain having all graced us with their eminent works. Each, in their own way, are to be admired and emulated as ideal forms of humanity.
@hanshandkante5055
2 жыл бұрын
I beg to differ. Although i am not familiar with the works of everyone on your list i think that something like an "ideal" human being doesn't exist. And even if an ideal human would exist most great artists and philosophers wouldn't fall into that category because great art and new perspectives are often born from nonconformism, lonliness, pain, suffering, rejection, addiction and poverty and i wouldn't call this ideal at all. In the case of Kafka it is obvious that he was extremely insecure and anxious and never felt good enough - it even was his last will that most of his writings should be destroyed - but without these feelings of inferiority in an hostile environment he could never have written something like The Trial or The Transformation. But this is what makes it relatable - many people feel at least sometimes lost, rejected or misunderstood.
@Jm-uh7wg

I don’t think he meant ideal in a glorified or deified sense, at least that wasn’t my interpretation. The very fact that kafka, Twain, Camus (I would also add Dostoevsky to the list) acknowledge and empathise with the darker, more neglected parts of human psyche show that they know there is no ‘perfect’ human. Striving to be so is admirable, but life ends in disappointment for reasons outside of our control. I think everyone on earth can benefit from reading these authors because they will a)treat others with the due respect they deserve because of their suffering and b) feel less lonely themselves. Overall, the world would be a generally better place if more people read these authors.

@@Jm-uh7wg The thing is, it doesn't even depend on those handfull of authors. Reading, especially reading novels helps people to understand different perspectives and therefore become more empathic. And was someone here in the comments pointed out, all these authors are male, white and from a western cultural background. Nothing wrong with that of course, but to get a wider perspective it would help to read some asian, african or arabian authors too. Also i have to agree with the statement that even in the west most people haven't read exactly these authors. Academic circles tend to overestimate the impact of certain intellectuals. News outlets, movies, tv shows, music even memes have a stronger impact on the thinking of the masses then books today.

Man has emerged into an uncharted reality, which is why he strives to confront it and give it value. This man has no incentive to choose one frame of reference over another, and scientific theories just suggest how things might be evaluated. The subject relates to standards outside himself in psychology, where he can be content to be an observer, but what will he do in psychology if he is involved? What is decisive is the individual's discovery of a life value and the fact that he experiences a solution to it. This criterion of the value of life, as perceived by the individual, encompasses the "theory" as a symbol that imposes an attitude to be owned in front of life, wondering what effect it will have on the one who adheres to it. This dynamic is to own and impose a choice prior to birth. Kafka depicts humans whose choice is stolen. Either there is action in the system or theory is'real' and not a consideration. Stuck and always constrained, unable to choose between Scylla and Charybdis. The Kafkaian individual suffers the collective is perceived as a phenomenon by the individual. But dies... dies in the absence or loss of a certain value of life.

As I myself enjoy writing short fantastic stories (some of which are published on the internet) I understand Kafka's relationship with his literary work. It is possible to write to earn money, but to do that you have to study and explore the preferences of the public. Kafka obviously did not dedicate himself to literature for economic purposes. It is also possible to write literary texts because something moved within ourselves. A character, a metaphor and a story can be born within the writer in different ways and for reasons not always fully understood. When this occurs, the narrative around that motif is mentally worked on until the text forces its passage onto paper. Writing the story, shaping the narrative, exploring the potentialities of the character and the situation and letting go of mentally imagined things that don't work well in the context of the work that is being born is something wonderful, exciting and interesting. But as soon as the text is ready, it loses the importance it had for the writer. I feel it. Kafka probably felt something similar and that's why he asked his friend to burn the texts.

This is why the game 'A Dinner with an Owl' reminds me of Kafka's writings. It's explained later on in the game why the characters act like that.

It probably reflects the writers own personality, other horror-writers like Lovecraft also wasn't exactly who anyone would call a normal person.
