still in the introduction. i have also developed a tick where i read all of Rosenzweig's quotations in a late-Orson Welles voice

when the introduction is longer than the actual content of the book <<<

Simone Weil loves name dropping the Bhagavad Gita just to remind us that she learned sanskrit at like age 15

funny to read a collection of letters where you only get half of the correspondence. I must assume that Father Perrin was just ghosting Simone Weil

"lines of force"... is there a chance Deleuze read this or was schizophrenia just in the air in the 60s

both of these novels are way funnier than i was lead to believe

(guy just clueing into what Dune was about) woah getting some serious Dune vibes from this Messianic time idea

wait. you're telling me my destiny is determined by my actions. fukc,

everything about reconciling the aporetic relationship between creation/revelation is so good. i can absolutely see where Derrida got hyped on this.

adding Gombrowicz to my list of writers who clearly haven’t read Save the Cat!

you never read a polish novel that’s just about hanging out and being bored, like a lot of American fiction. why is that

i see dead birds on the side of the road every once in awhile and you don't see me getting all paranoid about it

when i call myself a 9/11 truther this is the kind of stuff i'm talking about: a negative theology of the event based on the unreality of evil as such

ok i get why po-mo theorists get the reputation that they do. when you read a sentence like "Terrorist violence is not 'real'." it's pretty hard to say to someone "no you just have to go back and read Lacan's later seminars to understand what he means by 'real' here". most people do not care that it is only symbolic violence that is generative of singularity. hell i don't even know if i do

this is oddly some of Baudrillard's most lucid and systematic philosophizing (so far)
