Jacques Derrida. The Notion of Stupidity. 2004

[capricioussole]

all questions are "dangerous", and danger is our business.

[IvyLeagueJunkie]

This is better--I'm still not a fan of Derrida overall, but I'm a willing bystander of his theory of stupidity. He is far better in person than translation--not that this is a useful addition, even if it was a leap of faith for me personally. Respecting Derrida is a difficult endeavor if your introduction came via Richard Rorty--respecting both philosophers is a struggle, albeit one I am very grateful to have stumbled across. There is no right way-but there are dangerous questions to ask. Always

@IvyLeagueJunkie : I simply have a question apropos a statement made in your comment. & I could very well be reading between the lines or making false assumptions so correct me if this is indeed the case. & if so I do apologize in advance. So help me here if u wish—how can there be "no right way but there" [still be] "dangerous questions to ask?" I agree that there can only be one 'Truth' or no truth. But w/o truth, does not danger itself become rather relativistic? What defines danger? Shalom!

[killpolitics]

The only French thinker since Sartre who is genuinely worthy of serious consideration.

[tookfounie]

You haven't done much reading have you?

[Arodinme6]

@killpolitics haha right. And I suppose people like Cixous and Foucault don't make it on your list.

[avoidingstudy]

@killpolitics dont forget baudrillard

[edbingey]

@avoidingstudy Such an injunction is non-sensical.

[ssarkis1]

@killpolitics definitely check again. there's a ton of them you would probably find really interesting, far more interesting than Sartre i might add

[tlevy72]

@killpolitics not really the same (eg Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Nancy...) but certainly incontournable

I'm watching this video with my spirit monkey called noumenon. Later renamed Johnson for short. He is wearing a T-shirt declaring - 'I'm with stupid -->'
