I was reading about Baudrillard, then came upon this. I know little of psychoanalysis, thinking the brain more the domain of neuroscientists.
Is it a recommended read? Or are there any other works of the authors of particular merit?

>>	Anonymous Wed May 22 08:00:15 2013 No.3781880 It's good, but Thousand Plateaus (the second Capitalism and Schizophrenia book) is an easier read, and it'll make it easier to get acquainted with their writing style, which is rather peculiar.

Stay away from nonsense.

If you want to know why, read Sokal:

Enjoy.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 22 14:43:15 2013 No.3782533 >>3782436 That's not really an argument though. I'm not denying that there could be (and probably are) frauds among postmodernists, but to generalize based on a single incident that wasn't really meaningful would be unphilosophical to begin with.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 22 15:21:16 2013 No.3782606 Bump to spite that Sokal guy that posts in every postmodern philosophy thread. Suck it, read D&G. Shit's great.
