what you need to understand is that "intelligence" is a quantifier of one's ability to fit into a dehumanizing capitalist system, and that the attempt to categorize it as a measure of "health" is an attempt to naturalize that process of dehumanization.

Good, finally someone said it.

The French have ruined philosophy and intellectual thought for the past 100 years.

>Good, finally someone said it.

having a very poor understanding of critical theory is one of lit's favourite hobbies what are you talking about

So this is the designated /pol/ general or what

Hi /lit/, meet Rene Guenon, you two have so much in common

>>8934284
Then explain why so many intelligent people in academia are anti capitalist. Im not anti capitalist, but being intelligent doest mean youre a good capitalist

>>8934302
>for the past 100 years.
There hasn't been a single worthwhile French philosopher since Rousseau.

What does it mean to be human?

>>8934305
that's just marxism in a new dress

>>8934617
Comte?

>>8934922
Sauce?

>>8934602
Because smart left wing people tend to have intellect and thus end up at academia

While smart right wing people become lawyers and shit

>>8934617
fucking retard

Foucault, Derrida, and Sartre have had a profound impact on intellectual pursuits in any field

>>8937665
>in any field
>profound

nope.

>>8934617
What about Henri Poincare, Ferdinand de Saussure, Auguste Comte and Jules Vuillemin?

>>8934246

>>8937673
Saussure was Swiss and not really a philosopher.

>>8934246

I think it's a symptom of a wider cultural malaise. Just look at the way the French cheerfully embrace being cuckolded, how their birthrates are plummeting, how they've allowed themselves to be invaded by the dregs of Africa. This cultural neurosis affects most of the western world, it's just more obvious in France. At this point I don't think there's any hope, just buckle up and eat a kebab and enjoy the death throes of civilization as best you can.

What the fuck is with influx of /pol/ posters to /lit/?

For the last 2-3 years this board used to be almost entirely leftist or Christian with marginal presence of right-wingers and then suddenly shit like this is in every thread.

/pol/ is like /b/ with infographics. I don't post on /pol/.

/lit/ is the only place where you can have a serious discussion about any sort of politics.

>>8937710
The 'reddit socialist takeover of /lit/' screenshot was posted 7000 times on /pol/ and /r9k/, so now they're waging ideological war here.

Sage and report all non-literature related posts

>>8934246
French """philosophy"" is a blight on the discipline because it is possessed by the twin tyrannies of general accessibility and seductive nonsense. Can't even begin to tell how many times I've heard some fucking pseud stroking their own misplaced superiority by namedropping Camus or Sartre in class. It's shameful and reflects the value (lack thereof) of the tradition.

>>8937738
>/lit/ is the only place where you can have a serious discussion about any sort of politics.

/sci/ also. If you ignore conspiracy/fringe theory threads, of course.

>>8937710
3 years ago /lit/ was already complaining about /pol/ posters on their board.

>>8937686
So, what french philosophers have you guys read?

>>8937774
It doesn't matter. French philosophy = anti-rationality, anti-science, anti-logic.

They support women and minorities, which is wrong and against common decency and the redpill

Oh no, people have different political opinions than you!

Numale cuck

>>8937785
Supporting women and minorities is something else than rejecting the entire cultural framework because it's not perfect. No civilization has been better towards women and minorites than the west.

>>8937838
>No civilization has been better towards women and minorites than the west.

And that's why Western civilization is crumbling right now (and I am prospectless and alone)

>>8937838
This is a shitpost thread now, please refrain from posting seriously

Fucking cuck

i love the foucault vs chomsky debate, because it showcases arrogant they both are; bright, well versed, and entirely unable to establish a dialogue because they're so fucking full of themselves.

the real cancer of the 20th century is individualism, not any particular splinter group

>>8937852
nah its women and men with scarves

>>8937852
That's the case with most debates between two intellectuals. Everybody is so caught up in their own framework that they just talk past eachother.

The Derrida-Searle debate is a prime example of this too.

>>8937852
>the real cancer of the 20th century is individualism
What about cultural marxism?

I remember that but it was not as half as numerous.
