A) some of what he says is okay but all of that stuff is unoriginal, better argued for and fleshed out by the thinkers he takes them from, B) his philosophy is a mess and the good elements aren't very well integrated and that C) a lot of his ideas are bad.

my gripe with peterson is the same as it's always been. he has absolutely no understanding of derrida and foucault and, at the time, was just another "conservative" voice spamming the internet with pieces blaming post-structuralism for trump. anyone with an undergraduate level of derrida knows that peterson's criticism of french ps is a massive joke. not to mention that he is completely ignorant on derrida's books on the rogue state, animal rights, and even the fucking death penalty. to anyone who says that derrida hollowed out language or absurdified it, why did derrida call justice "the undeniable?" makes absolutely no sense but gives people a whipping boy for something they don't understand.

cultural marxism is such an absolute farce it's laughable. the left has a problem with puritainism, but peterson's diagnosis is merely a case of a stopped clock being wrong twice a day rather than being prescient. people act like he's the first person to bring criticisms to the left. it's absurd

his reactionary garbage is only enthralling to people who have never thought for themselves. i am completely over the hero mythos and jordan peterson is someone who breathes and eats this radical form of self-overcoming in a completely reversed way, namely, only by appealing to this ad hoc vision of the "modern male". i don't need another dad. the invocation of myth and some form of male/female ancient dynamic only adds gloss but not substance. it's really unsurprising that, of course, the modern male aligns completely and entirely with the cultural icons or mythology that he chooses to fit the narrative. in reality, as even people like de beauvoir shows, mythology is all over the place when it comes to gender archetypes. there is no perennial philosophy that will actually display these vaulted archetypes because they have never existed in any set and streamlined way, even between neighboring cultures. he wants his readers to look forwards, but only by looking backwards.

/pol/ hates Peterson and consider him a useful idiot at best. Jordan was initially popularized by the filmed/unfilmed outrages by far-left activists on campus due to his opinions. This got him notoriety with the various alternative media outlets and the pro free-speech channels on Youtube, and he went on to market himself as a paragon of calm, soft-spoken center-left politics, with a touch of conservative elements (especially in regards to religion) which got him more in the spotlight. He dud a few debates with some ridiculous Canadian lefties on television which made him look better, and, of course, that one interview with the blonde nutcase is where he really soared into popularity.

/pol/ has pretty much consistently hated the guy, though. I think they mostly see him as a snakeoil salesman and an opportunist. Practically every /pol/ thread on Peterson I've seen has been a circlejerk of hate, or, at best, soft praise.

Unironically nothing. I think he's actually in some sense a force for good. A necessary counterbalancing agent against radical leftist ideologies.

He's not extreme, but the way he combines science and reasoned argument with the occasional politicized remark makes me shake my head.

He, like everybody else, would be better off not on twitter. Or just tweeting links to his latest blog posts or videos. Many a dumbass has been sucked into twitter and ruined their career over a few damned sentences.

Well, yes. Twitter is for short "gotchyas" and other boring drivel. Peterson's biggest issue is that he talks too much on subjects that he knows little about, especially things like post-modernism which I don't think he even understands. Other than that, he's fine.

>read this philosopher's work without reading any philosophy, and i don't understand it, so he must be an obscurantist

derrida is one of the most important commentators of all time for phenomenology and semiotics. derrida remained, until the day he died, a heideggerian. his works on husserl (see: his graduate thesis) are impeccable and his early lectures on heidegger literally steered heidegger studies for at least a half-century. that's not even getting into work on language. or any of the other things he wrote about.

i'm willing to allow that not many people are interested in or have read any of the philosophy that derrida is responding to, but why the fuck do you think that your opinion means anything if you can't make heads or tails out of derrida because you didn't do your homework?

just go read the death penalty lectures. they are accessible.

>> No.11632674

>In terms of what question are we to accept and read this apparently so portentous distinction? Before proposing this purely "phenomenological" distinction between the two senses of the word "sign," or rather, even before recognizing it, before setting it off in what purports to be a simple description, Husserl proceeds to what is in effect a phenomenological reduction: he puts out of play all constituted knowledge, he insists on the necessary absence of presuppositions (Voraussetzungslosigkeit), whether they come from metaphysics, psychology, or the natural sciences. The point of departure in the "Faktum" of language is not a presupposition, provided that one is attentive to the contingency of the example. Analyses thus directed keep their "sense" and their "epistemological value"—their import for the theory of knowledge (erkenntnistheoretischen Wert)—whether or not there exist any languages; whether beings such as men use them effectively or not; whether men or nature really exist, or exist only "in the imagination and according to the mode of possibility." We have thus a prescription for the most general form of our question: do not phenomenological necessity, the rigor and subtlety of Husserl's analysis, the exigencies to which it responds and which we must first recognize, nonetheless conceal a metaphysical presupposition? Do they not harbor a dogmatic or speculative commitment which, to be sure, would not keep the phenomenological critique from being realized, would not be a residue of unperceived naivety, but would constitute phenomenology from within, in its project of criticism and in the instructive value of its own premises?

What do you respond to someone who might come to you, at dawn, and say:
“You know, the death penalty is what is proper to man”?
(Long silence)
As for me, I would fi rst be tempted to answer him, too quickly: yes,
you are right. Unless it is what is proper to God — or unless that comes
down to the same thing. Then, resisting the temptation by virtue of another
temptation — or in virtue of a counter- temptation — I would be tempted,
upon refl ection, not to respond too quickly and to let him wait — for many
days and many nights. Until dawn.
(Long silence)
It is dawn, now, we are at dawn. In the fi rst light of dawn. In the white-
ness of dawn (
alba
). Before beginning, let us begin. We would begin.
We would begin by pretending to begin before the beginning.

What is an exception?
More than once, last year, we insisted on the character of absolute
exception
that pardon must maintain, a pardon worthy of the name, a pardon that
is always unforeseeable and irreducible to statement as well as to contract,
to determinative judgment, to the law, therefore, a pardon always outside
the law, always heterogeneous to order, to norm, to rule, or to calculation,
to the rule of calculation, to economic as well as juridical calculation. Every
pardon worthy of that name, if there ever is any, must be
exceptional
, should
be exceptional, that is in short the law of the pardon: it must be lawless and
exceptional, above the laws or outside the laws.
The question then remains: what is an exception? Can one pose this
question? Is there an essence of exception, an adequate concept of this sup-
posed essence?
One may have one’s doubts, and yet we commonly use this word, as if it
had an assured semantic unity. We regularly act as if we know what an exception is or, likewise, what an exception is not, as if we had a valid criterion
with which to identify an exception or the exceptionality of an exception,
the rule, in short, of the exception, the rule for discerning between the exceptional <and> the non- exceptional — which seems, however, absurd or a
contradiction in terms. And yet, people commonly speak of the exception,
the exception to the rule, the exception that confirms the rule; there is even
a law or laws of exception, exceptional tribunals, and so forth.

Heidegger and Husserl have a few fascinating insight, but they're mostly just diversions from serious philosophy. The fact that he crammed the already outdated Saussurean linguistic paradigm into doesn't help his case.
>but why the fuck do you think that your opinion means anything if you can't make heads or tails out of derrida because you didn't do your homework?
Because his work directly impacts my life whether I read it or not. The people who have done "their homework" use his work to justify all sorts of unpleasant social policing. then his defenders tell me that it doesn't have anything to do with his work. From my reading and witnessing it in practice, I really do believe that he strove to express a near-meaninglessness in the most impressive way possible, and by-and-large, he succeeded.

His misconstrual of Heideggerian Being is reason enough to outright dismiss pretty much any of his lame attempts at reading the thoughts of other people. The man is functionally dyslexic. Completely incapable of reading. This goes for Jung, Orwell, Heidegger and Rousseau - and this I know merely because these are the authors that I myself know that I've heard him mention in those mercifully few times I've heard him speak. Jung never wrote that ideas have people. His reading of the bible is so plebby it hurts. How does he get away with it? Because his fans are complete, utter and total retards themselves, illiterate ADD-tards who've never read a book or produced a single independent thought. How does Peterson get away with claiming that Nietzsche is a genius for claiming that truth is utility while simultaneously chastising the "postmodern neo-marxists" (oxymoron to anyone who actually knows what the terms mean) for relativizing truth? Because his followers are mouthbreathers with crackbaby attention spans. He is an intellectual travesty and it is a profound fucking embarrassment that grown-ass men consider it deep advice to be told to clean up the jizz-rags from their floors. I hate the man for what he has shown about this board. He is the absolute and ultimate pseud.
