Roberto Mangabeira Unger:
>Roberto Mangabeira Unger (born 24 March 1947) is a philosopher and politician. His work is seen to offer a vision of humanity and a program to empower individuals and change institutions. He has developed his views and positions across many fields, including social, political, and economic theory.In legal theory, he is best known by his work in the 1970s/80s while at Harvard Law School as part of the Critical Legal Studies movement, which is held to have helped disrupt the methodological consensus in American law schools. His political activity helped bring about democracy in Brazil, and culminated with his appointment as the Brazilian Minister of Strategic Affairs in 2007 and again in 2015.
He's kind of a wacky guy, but I appreciate where he's coming from. Very Batillian. Any Brazilian anon's know anything about the curriculum he's been developing?

Roberto Calasso is a fantastic living author and intellectual. It will take years for his work to be fully appreciated.

Modern philosophy is garbage.
It's either analytical autism, reactionary garbage, or humanist garbage with or without critical theory.

If you genuinely believe this, then this exemplifies the garbage state philosophy is in at the moment.
In fact, we have functionally regressed back to the early modern period just with more radical politics and complex logic systems; things that ultimately mean absolutely nothing.

>T. Tokieda : Science à partir d'une feuille de papier
In French. A capitvating speech about the mathematics of origami, it makes some good points about how origami is in some ways a superior system to classical geometry for certain problems, and illustrates the need for innovative thinking.

Fuck off retard. If modern philosophy is garbage that's only because people like you only read edgy shit like Nietzsche and Stirner, or just incoherent gibberish like Hegel or Foucault. If analytic philosophy has survived is mainly because it has real world applications and it makes sense between other disciplines like mathematics, science, psychology, etc. No psychologist or mathematician alive takes seriously the philosophy you praise. Go read Hegel while injecting heroin or something you stupid ass punk.

Alasdair MacIntyre is still alive. Everyone should read him.

Not him, but you're a shitter, philosophy isn't a utilitarian prerogative and only low-brain shitters think it is.
That's why people criticize critical theory, it's an enlightenment-era perversion of the scholastic tradition, in the modern world scientists are trying to corrupt philosophy and philosophers are trying to corrupt science, and neither of them understand the point of either discipline because they are retarded academics and they truly believe in things like secular democracy and logical positivism.
