Umberto Eco is dead? fucking sad.

>Who is the greatest living European intellectual now
Well that would be me. Huge drop in quality, though.

No, really. Give me someone from France like Foucault, Sartre or Derrida

I feel like Intellectuals are a bit of a thing of the past say, 50-70's.

Yeah, it looks like that.

Everything is getting very specialised, so we don't have people that are experts in several fields

Used to do John Paul II, dunno why would someone consider Eco...

yes its habermas

Michel Serres.
Or possibly Michel Rocard, if having been Prime Minister doesn't disqualify people.

because Umberto Eco didn't send 3 fiat 500 full of italian money to poland in order to right communism

Oh don't worry, it's just that no one gives a fuck

fight*

porco dio

>umberco eco is dead

I didn't know =(, I really loved his books

Bernard Stiegler Antonio Negri etc

>I didn't know
It was on tv for a week straight user, do you just not watch the news or something?

Same for artists
Who is our Salvador Dali? Andy warhol?
I guess only filmakers are relevant nowadays

>Toni Negri
No and fuck you.

Good riddance, what a useless cuck.

Me

And Im not even yuropeeon

I don't know anything but I'm gonna drop the name "Slavoj Zizek" because he's a often brought up on /lit/

memes

you're correct , shittaly should have never gotten involved.

What should have happened is the red army march into your shithole, confiscate shitalian treasures and teach you fuckers how to speak russian.

You'd be of better use to yurope and you'd see a little more commie blocks over there.

>polack contaminates another thread
Please, no

stfu kacapie

At least talk about Adam Michnik or something

Definitely Slavoj Zizek, you should watch the Pervert's guid on ideology.

itt faggots

didnt I tell you to stfu slavshit?

I am autistic ok? I stay in my room usually

>Italian 'intellectuals'

>2016
>still watches TV

I expected better of Italy. Sorry for your loss however. Biggest loss since Hugo Pratt IMO.

nice pic; forgive my boldness but, can I save it?

oh come off it, Eco's books were dogshit covered in slime

>British 'anything'

But seriously, not now. Some of us just learned the news and are mourning.

not him, but can you tell why

I think Europe's greatest intellectual is a famous person who I politically agree with.

>muh medieval murder mystery

No they weren't, they were really good (for non-French works I mean). And it wasn't limited to his books - he sometimes wrote insightful tribunes in our newspaper Le Monde.

If you only saw it as a crime story, than I pity you

I can see why you wouldn't like it though

Art disappeared up into it's own asshole, having become a pure circular masturbatory exercise in an ever shrinking loop. When all there is to comment is commenting itself, meta-pocalypse disintegrates the memeplex into bits and pieces. There is no whole. No story, except one you weave, and that too is lost in the rain.
Philosophy? Pomoism makes truth a mere opinion. This reduces philosophy into analytical error checking of existing free-floating thought structures that are unmoored from any non-self-referential basis - mere axiomatic jenga towers.
What remains in the real world is the middle dissolving towards two ends:
unhinged and unchecked obscurantist "idealism" (see how people jump one extreme to another, looking for non-existent meaning?), and pure self-interested practicality with no actual ideals whatsoever, with any checks and balances coming only from cowardice, habit and the natural friction towards cultural change.

Film, however, is more of a craft, not an art. It is commercial from inception, so it sort of survives, even though nobody gushes over directors anymore like they used to.
Pure art film, however, is masturbation.

Eco was the Italian Agatha Christie

lol

Pish posh, they were fun.

>Art disappeared up into it's own asshole

Here in France the Ministry of Culture has been expanding the list of arts from the classical six to cinema and then others, and for the past 10 years now, video games have become "the tenth art". And while 90% of it is commercial daubs like for every other art, there was some good stuff in there. Same for movies and comics. Usually not the American ones though.

nobody cares what France thinks

It's Slavoj Žižek ofc.

That probably was his weakest book, and you're reducing it to the mere surface, too.
If I weren't afflicted by the sad news I'd give Shakespeare the same treatment to chastise you while moving the mirth of every gentleman here. But I'm not in the mood tonight.

Yeah, sure. Not like we would know anything about art and culture, eh?
Not very convincing since you replied a few seconds later, either.

...

get a room you two gay tsunderes

>Art disappeared up into it's own asshole, having become a pure circular masturbatory exercise in an ever shrinking loop.

I just love Finland and finnish posters.

Always perfidious Albion, exploiting our moment of affliction with dastardly acts.
You'll rue for this later (like always). But anyway, that's overkill, the sad news really hit me hard.

he was like 90 so it's no big deal 2bh

They are
People don't like the intellectuals because it is an ideal
Just like beauty must be destroyed so does the ideal of intellectual discourse

We French are not tsundere, we're always very vocal about who we like or dislike.
It's more like SM I think, usually other countries give up after we beat them in a war or two, but England still comes back for more after what, twelve wars lost?

No doubt our best enemy ever. Which is saying something given the number of countries we've been at war with. We managed to be at war with Mexico (twice, I think) and China (twice also, I think) - countries on the other side of the world, whom we rather like and since we don't even remember the reason for these wars, I doubt it was very important.

Adolf Hitler. But he's dead too, so idk.

>not remembering the details of the Pastry War against Mexico

You're a disgrace to our country you ignorant petit con, read about it at once and marvel at la grandeur de la France.

>Pastry War
Ah, I remember now that you've mentioned the name.
Some Mexican soldiers vandalized a pastry shop owned by a French chef in Mexico, he appealed to the Mexican government for compensation, was turned down and then appealed to Napoleon III, who sent a fleet which destroyed the entire Mexican Navy and looted Vera Cruz. After what Mexico agreed to pay a sum worth a lot more than a pastry shop and everyone was happy again.

Also let's not forget the allies, in that case Texas because they had some interest in the matter, and the US because they still liked us back then. I hope I'm not forgetting somebody.

People don't like to take their time with books anymore. Now it's most about ADHD social media and being flashy there in a populist way.

Not that I'm longing for some grand old man to tell me how things are, but I feel things are a bit too hectic nowadays.

>spin doctors
>commie sympathizer
>dislike plebs not realizing that he himself is plebeian
>like all shitalian arrogant
tipycal late 1900 italian intellectual
however the Name of the rose is good, noice years of lead (anni di piombo) allegory.
