[QUOTE="rentré, post: 84576, member: 306"] Focault, Barthes... The entire thread reads as "I'm a big fan of modernist English literature" (but read it all in Arabic translation for I am an Arab). The unspoken pre-requisite for consuming foreign high culture is near-fluency in the targeted language; in case of philosophy, on top of general knowledge of ancient languages. Otherwise it comes off as parading as an upper class while being a trailer trash. Here's an interesting tidbit: the first English translation of Gustave Flobert was done in the mid 1880s, strangely by a daughter of Karl Marx. Why 30 years too late and why by a leftist activist? Likely because those who read Gustave Flaubert to date and [i]Norf English workers[/i] had different outlooks on life. Emily Marx later pulled off Madame Bovary herself and comitted suicide. Now, that I call practical philisophy! Wake up, troon, you're in a psychosis and have no clue. Reading Vietnamese newspapers will be just as deep and puzzling; don't forget to report back. [/QUOTE]
