Add to basketIn this remarkable new book based on this gnomic meeting, Baudrillard and Noailles range over the entirety of philosophy and thought underpinning Baudrillards unique work, from In the Shadow of the Silent Majorities (1983) to his recent writings on 9/11. Philosophically, the book takes in its breadth Heraclitus to Wittgenstein by way of Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard and Nietzche. Its literary sources are diverse: Gracian and Saul Bellow, Hlderlin and Stanislaw Lec; and the theories of Fukuyama, Barthes and Kristeva are weighed, considered and analysed.
With his usual incandescent brilliance, Baudrillard discusses the central themes of his writing: thought as (non-prophetic) anticipation; tragic acceptance of the world; the disappearance of the world into simulation; the death of the social (and with it the Left). Vitally, Baudrillard corrects some of the misconceptions that plague his work (about his fatal strategies, for example), qualifies some of his bolder pronouncements (notably softening his position on the question of the virtual) and pushes other lines of thinking further than ever before.
Razor-sharp, volatile and capacious, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of Baudrillard and those interested in the theories and philosophies that currently abound and rebound in the social sciences and humanities.
Jean Baudrillard taught at the University of Paris X from 1966 to 1987. Among his works translated into English are Simulation and Simulacra, Fatal Strategies, Seduction, America, Cool Memories I-IV, The Illusion of the End and The Spirit of Terrorism.
Enrique Valiente Noailles has a degree in Philosophy from the University of Buenos Aires. He published Parallels in Ramo, La metamorfosis argentina, a reflection on society and politics in the 90s, and Les Exilés du dialogue, a dialogue with the French sociologist and philosopher Jean Baudrillard, published in several languages. He has been a university professor and a fellow of the Eisenhower Foundation in the US as well as a member of the Board of Directors of the Argentine Cultural Institute of North America.
