: concerning baudriallard, I gave also a talk at Columbia
: where he confronted 1968 to be purely "reactionary"
: it is an interesting strategy by Baudrillard to
: denounce all the progressive moves that occured around
: 1968 and label it reactionary, i.e. to say the way he thinks
: now.. I was surprised that the public didn't show
: any reactoin... I talked to him afterwards about this
: with such an insistance that he walked away from me
: ..... with Baudrillard there is a kind of a bitterness
: and a disappointment involved that goes together
: with a general ignorance of the fact that the world
: keeps moving ahead also with le grands penseurs parisiens
your remark about BAudrillard is very interesting
Generaly speeking, I think that the problem is, after all, that the OPINIONS
expressed by philosophers are very often disappointing - as Deleuze liked to
say, philosophy is not to talk about opinions, it is about the creation of
new concepts and about logic.
