How are they "whos" when they are more popular they 50% of the people already suggested? Academically they also have better positions. Honneth, Brandom, McDowell and Gabriel are undoubtedly more respected than Butler. (Not that there is anything wrong with Butler.)
Honneth and Brandom are fine sure.
>Not that there is anything wrong with Butler
Haha holy shit.
hey adrian
He probably doesn't belong on the list (yet?!) but I included him because he is currently working on his Magnum Opus, and I really enjoyed the first volume. I think it will be a classic when it's finished.
He is unoriginal. A pretender of a pretender. Riding the coattails of Zizek and Badiou riding Lacan and Hegel.
Lazzarato: Decent.
Tiqqun: superhot garbage, think they're far smarter than they actually are. The adolescent invective in their pieces becomes tiresome after a while. There's also the small matter that the content of their ideas (capitalism sucks) is false.
Bifo: even worse than Tiqqun, somehow. One quote will do well: "Social psychomancy is not a science, it's just a game that I play from time to time in order to survey the ongoing history of humankind from the viewpoint of the social unconscious. SO DO NOT TAKE ME TOO SERIOUSLY." (Caps mine, the rest is verbatim). Or take this wistful description from "Anatomy of Autonomy", approximating his ideal, experimental society:
"The storm that the feminist movement provoked in male-female relations and the subsequent explosion of homosexual collectives thus found a territory in which to consolidate, in which to transform the customs of living, sleeping, eating, smoking." He goes on to describe his role in radio. Fortunately, he has been impotently nostalgic for his precious 1977, ever since.
