How does one recover from this truth-nuke?
books like this are why postmodernism is not taken seriously anymore. bombastic-sounding nonsense.
>>25199445filtered bait this early
>>25199433Truke? He was just riding the coattails of more influential post-structuralists.
>>25199433There is no wisdom in post-WW2 french intellectualism, none at all.
>>25199468This kills the pseud who posts Derrida, Foucault or Deleuze memes on a pomo discord group.
>>25199483lacan won
Pre-empted by Stirner.
>>25199468Descartes started this. Its over.
>>25199489Don’t say that, his phantom will come and rape your dog or something.
>>25199483It's very unfortuante these figures every gained the popularity they did because it spelled the end of European intellectualism and perhaps literary criticism more broadly. Even pre-ww2 Marxists intellectuals whom I have no ideological allegiance with, like Lukacs and Benjamin, were leaps and bounds more worthy of serious study than these frauds.
>>25199485Another retarded pseud tbqh
>>25199493Deleuze himself had to reframe how one has to philosophise because he believed the systematic approach had been exhausted. Treating it more like an experiment or craft and writing in a needlessly obscure manner. He misreads other philosophers, look at Wittgenstein, who had already reframed his philosophy by the time Deleuze went and jabbed the TLP.
>>25199468I was sceptical at first, when I started reading post-structuralists and most of what I was trying to read was either unintelligible or insane but when I started simulation and simulacra I was blown away. The vanishing of political power, the death of systems that appear to the outsider as if they are just fine; the Disneyland observations, how capital stabilises itself. This is some profound stuff.
>>25199571Can't tell if you're memeing or not because that's not very profound at all
>>25199578I’m not memeing. Well, I thought it to be profound. It was the first time i had heard it presented with clarity.
>>25199578It’s profound for something written after WW2.
american working class anti intellectualism struck again
>>25199646Elaborate pls
>>25199658no
>>25199646Upset because no one here considers your favourite philosophers profound?
>>25199667no
>>25199646As I said above, Benjamin and Lukacs are a 6million times more interesting than any post-ww2 french intellectual
>>25199709your genes don't qualify for thought but keep reading though
i read this book before an exam in college. the part about the satellite is cool.
i like how some old french fuck has all these opinions about american culture did he even at least teach at some wealthy liberal arts college in america? or are all of these "insights" from stuff he saw on tv?
>>25200129I know it's a short book, but how was your comprehension reading it so fast?
>>25200138Is this bait?
>>25200143this was like 13 years ago so i don't really remember the book at all at this point. however i did not really understand it at the time either
i'm gonna read it right meow
>>25200165Oh yeah?
>>25199433Determine what is actually true and useful, what isn’t, and then move on with your life.
>>25200170you can go in the fake cave, but not the real one
>>25200216The real one is gone.
>>25200256no it's right beside the fake cave. you just can't go inside.
>>25200258consider the molotov cocktail
>>25200267elaborate set up
>>25199719If you were intelligent and a bit witty you would have said "jeans"
>>25199433Never
