/lit/ - Literature

I don't give a fucking shit what people think, I just like to read whenever and wherever. Watch me read Lolita in your mother's funeral, fag.

While I understand your frustration, anon, I can't help feeling this devaluation of contemporary philosophy is a defining (though perhaps not intended or desirable) feature of contemporary philosophy and our time.

Deleuze, Baudrillard, Debord, Barthes, Derrida, Girard, et cetera are either veterans of May 1968 or greatly affected by them. It's ALL Marxist, post-structuralist nonsense these days. Philosophy was outpaced by physical sciences in the late 20th century and philosophers have run out of road. 2017 is a time of scientific proof. Science advances so quickly and has become so specialized, the philosopher has no choice but to disappear into semiotic obfuscation. It will not always be this way, and Man still has need of his shamans.

What's/lit/'s view on literary theory? I never see it discussed on here.

Death of the author, deconstruction etc?
