His pataphysics sound interesting in a dadaism sense of way. Anyone has studied the thing?

I dont know who he is, or what his postmodern philosophy is.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Don't know the guy. When I hear/read postmodern philosophy my first thought is "not worthy of my time and attention".

Moderator Action: Duplicate deleted. Perhaps you should be more specifc in your OP, Dida, or tell us something about J.B. and his postmodern philosophy.

Never heard of him so I have no opinion either way.

[Ayn Rand]

Another Frenchie drooling over American Imperial power from afar, making love-rage on it, wishing it could be real and drawn into the bosom of the French nation. But, alas! The French can only partake of the Imperial project through virtuality, and thus all their descriptions of reality are virtual interpretations, mere cultural echoes, of the reality that they crave while affecting to despise.
