RE: The Age of Distrust

Thanks for the link. This gives me something new to dig into and I'm excited about that. I bought the paperback version of Simulacra and Simulations on Amazon. He totally predicted our current time. It amazes me how some people can so clearly see the direction a society is headed. How have I never heard of this philosopher? Oh yeah, I can thank the American public education system for that. Lol.

Sort:  

I still remember borrowing my copy from the university library. I looked for any excuse to include Baudrillard, Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag into my work.

I own books by all these, except Baudrillard.

That website is super useful for pulling out the greatest hits of philosophy, imo!

Thanks again, you've piqued my interest! Amazon is telling me Simulacra and Simulations will arrive tomorrow. : )

That reminds me, I need to order more cat food. :p and maybe... some philosophy too - depending on the cost.

Lol, they have it all.
