Alain Badiou - On Optimism

[@petrikor4411]

his chuckles are adorable 😭😭

[@Helena-dt6bc]

I like Badiou's idea of proposing a new definition of freedom. This is an important perspective.

[@julieherz8909]

this is a small thing but I love how Badiou says "younger women and men". He said it that way each time. As a young woman myself, this is the first time in my life I've heard someone say that rather than "young men and women". I realize that I myself say it in the later way, as a pattern of how society naturally orders male dominance in language.

[@lumbanbatukornelius2094]

it never cease to fascinates me that someone as optimistic as Badiou influenced Zizek, who becomes very different in comparison (opposites, even, he is a pessimistic philosopher 👀). Well, I guess these two beings are just built differently; purely different, even if they influenced each other in the process of multiplying and becoming.

[@GHa-yz1bw]

Lol. I love how he sarcastically answer about being optimistic philosopher.

You can't unsee the collar within the collar...

[@chuck1prillaman]

I never noticed it. Thanks for ruining my happy illusion that Badiou was the touchstone for good taste in casual wear.

[@andreibordeianu]

I was just looking to see if I was the only one noticing (in the comments) but let us be optimistic: it didn't became a trend. Should one believe the words coming from someone wearing a shirt over another?

[@anwarpsychiatrist4629]

I like his philosophical laughter which is spasmodic and creating tensions between tick and normality.

[@crashdummyglory]

[@krister6160]

Indeed, a Frenchman!

[@sirvidia]

two shirts

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

His message and even delivery is much like Angela Davis...............next she popped up in the feed...........

[@ChrisOrillia]

haha, his facial expressions.

[@c.j.griffin]

Very insightful observation, thanks.

[@ChrisOrillia]

@@c.j.griffin Shut up.

[@farrider3339]

Experiences as such aren't transmitable . . . Pretty disappointing platitudes all along this brief talk :(

[@TheNoblot]

recommended for you president MACRON by google EYES// THE HERO AS DIVINITY AND AS MAN OF LETTERS /:: CARLYLE :) if difficulties ask BADIOU for explanation.

[@fernandabravo3343]

Ugh. I thought this would be I’m french

[@CaptPoco]

It is, as far as I can tell...

[@patrickbertlein620]

There is no hope, everything is futile.

[@shoopinc]

Wrong, if Donald Trump could get elected I'm pretty sure there is hope. In 2020 the establishment took back the power, but their grip has loosened.

[@rottwangvibratora]

why does he laugh so weird?

[@shoopinc]

He's French
