Pill Pod 148 - Badiou: Philosophy & Antiphilosophy
Added 2023-11-24 18:57:53 +0000 UTCSome oversimplified Badiou plus a look at Wittgenstein's Antiphilosophy(https://amzn.to/47xStiv)
Comments
From everything I’ve heard or briefly read about Badiou or that text he wrote on communism that you linked to in that older pill pod episode, I find him to be one of the most boring continental philosophers, the most boring 20th century French one tbh. That his primary focus is on truth, maths and religion doesn’t help in this regard either. Still,

2023-11-28 13:41:22 +0000 UTCAnti/philosophy makes me think of applied/fine art. I was switching out the terms during the wrap up and it worked fairly well. And maybe I'm being overly convergent but we know what Baudrillard says about fine art

2023-11-26 16:52:45 +0000 UTCIt would be nice. I have a math degree and I'm interested in Badiou but I feel like I don't know enough theory to go through his actual texts.
