Is he the final boss of french philosophy?

I saw him fifteen years ago for a lecture he was giving. I remember he made weird movements and noises, as if he were eating his own lips. The lecture itself was quite difficult to follow but it didn't sound like bullshit to me. He said there are two kind of philosophers, those who search truth and those who search sense or meaning. And there's also the "philosophers of the 3" and the "philosophers of the 4". He insisted that Hegel for instance is a 4 guy, contrary to the common belief.

However when he's writing, I guess he's on drugs or something, like he's got no idea what reason is and how to use it.

>He said there are two kind of philosophers, those who search truth and those who search sense or meaning.
That kind of makes sense.

>And there's also the "philosophers of the 3" and the "philosophers of the 4". He insisted that Hegel for instance is a 4 guy, contrary to the common belief.
Is he referring to his four conditions? And for Badiou are the philosophers of the 4 superior to those of the 3?

You should listen to Habermas.

I don't think he referred to them. It sounded more like a formal distinction. It also implied no superiority of one kind above each other. I was young though, and may not have understood everything.

2ugly4me, there's a minimum amount of swag any philosopher should have.

Here's a difficult philosophical question: is the thing on Habermas' lip a moustache or not?

For me I think the answer has to be no. I know it looks like a moustache, has many of its characteristics, but I think if I call this a moustache I would be setting a precedent that I'm simply not comfortable with.

That's exactly what I was wondering right now.

What a disgusting face, how embarrassing.

He has a condition, something about severe nose deformity. Being ugly and old probably doesn't help either.
