Has ANYTHING of philosophical value ever come out of Paris? Anything at all?

Cioran is great lad. What's your problem. You didn't exactly articulate any real complaint
>>9157307
you must lack a sense of humor.
>>9157307
Cioran was an alien trying to convince humans to kill themselves and thereby hasten the conquest of Tellus
Cioran spent xis whole alien life cooped up in a apartment in Paris because xis alien form would be found out if xe went out
>>9157307
Read Precis de Decomposition or whatever thats spelled in french.
>>9157544
Cioran didn't even argue for suicide. He thought it was always already "too late."

I will put my hopes in this, over OP being one of those low-brow "people" who misuse literally

His stance is a lot like Nietzsche's who viewed it as a great consolation simply as a prospect.

It's just grotesque and so painfully overwrought. I don't know if I was reading a weak translation but I don't see how the source material could be anything but ludicrous dreck. There's no music in it, none whatsoever. Nietzsche would have killed himself laughing at it.
Negation and no-saying in the feeblest possible way.

Seriously, Lacan though. Definitely a (minor) genius.
>>9157327
Lacan is Shit! SHIT!
Lacan is just a bourgeois entertainment for first-world literary types, just such as the ones who inhabit this board, to distract them from their own miserable lives with elaborate discussions! Fuck Lacan!
Do you know how much I hate Lacan?
I hate Lacan, so much, that I will do THIS!
*very gently pours water on your papers and office supplies, slightly re-arranging things
*rambles naively at U about the student revolution for a moment, fresh of a read of SS and actually having gotten pussy by being at the right protest (I have to do more of this!)*
*gently swats at u toward the end and sort of saunters away - all of which has, despite its gentleness, visibly shaken u so that you can barely form coherent thoughts afterwards*

This is where dialectical materialism leads.
I can't decide whether I'd prefer the gas chambers.
Hegelry: not even once
>>9157307
The only good that ever came out of France were the philosophical theologians/Christian philosophers like Marion, Ellul, Maritain, Chardin, Girard, etc.
>>9158809
You didn't need to link the video, honestly, it's a classic
He perfectly articulates tfw post-Wittgenstein imo
>>9159232
classic to you, new to us. I first became aware of it last week, on this very board (either this or /his/, I view the two boards as being functionally equivalent, fungible spaces). I am quite confident that there are other anons for whom the video is brand new as well, and besides, the point was to give context to my "bit of fun" :^)
Guess who fucking studied at the University of Paris, faggots?

Why are you posting that as if it's a good thing? Aquinas was terrible thinker, who is only held up as being a good thinker because he is of historical interest and churned out a large volume of wrong material, which is grist for the academics' mill.
>>9158637
You are an idiot.

Philosophy post 1900 is a catastrophe.

He's right actually
every time someone implies pessimists are "nietzschean" or "heirs to nietzsche" or whatever I inch closer to agreeing with them on pessimism. A world in which people that stupid are possible seems like it may be the worst world possible.
