/r/philosophy has been overrun by people that merely enjoy philosophy, this subreddit is dedicated to drab, dull, boring philosophy papers, books, and discussions that only "real" philosophers will care about. If you don't want to read a 1000 word treatise on "why belly button lint is an analogy for free will" DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. Only "serious" philosophical works will be entertained here. No one is allowed to have fun here! You are just allowed to think!

A community for those of us who love to learn about and discuss life in the distant past. Ancient in this sense has a fairly specific meaning - it refers to the period from the first human written records until the end of Classical Antiquity. This is not the place to share pseudoscientific content, ancient conspiracy theories or modern interpretations of ancient spiritualism and shamanism - that content will be removed and posters banned.
