…and hate-feared Eurocentrism, your love of the Logos. You know, you feel, reading you, I feel that my head is thrust between Socrates' thighs. You're so in love with the Logos. What's so bad about it? Nothing wrong with that at all! Nothing wrong, you…

…is that you learn from your love, and it was homoerotic love, that the man falls in love with a beautiful young man, Socrates falls in love with a beautiful young man. Love isn't just about infatuation with that one individual, because if you love a…

…big opposition, and Kierkegaard himself knew it very well in his philosophical fragments of how it's usually said, it's precisely Socrates versus Jesus Christ. I'm a Christian here, although an atheist. I think that precisely as he said... The Christian view…

…why let's forget about all this bullshit philosophical reasoning I think the best definition of philosophy was provided by ancient Greeks apropos Socrates the duty of a philosopher is to corrupt the youth No, I don't mean it in an immoral sense, but like…

…doubt the ruling ideology, whatever. Just for those people who don't know, that was one of the charges that led to Socrates' execution. That's what I meant, yeah, yeah. In a way, from the standpoint of existing power, the Athenian court, democratic court,…

…think Plato is basically a philosopher of traumatic encounter. Like, you know, you are an ordinary guy like Socrates. Idea is something that you traumatically encounter. Another dimension enters. Descartes is the first who de-substantialized philosophy,…

…never read philosophy you know no late dialogues of plato you know how they look This is my favorite form of dialogue. One guy, Socrates, talks all the time, and his partner just says every 10 minutes, quarter of an hour, by Zeus, so it is Socrates. So…

…One guy, Socrates or whoever, talks all the time, and every ten minutes or so, the other guy says, by Zeus, so it is Socrates, and so on. Let's not do this. Okay, so let's see, and be careful about all the details. The sense of miracle, his certainty,…

…don't want to go into it. You find this. In Plato's idealism, you know, Plato's basic reaction was, the way Plato describes Socrates when he's thinking, it's really like a hysteric reaction of this, ah, he just stood there, immobilized, and so on and so…

…get Jean's question as well. Could you just pass the mic over? Thank you. Is it just to... the calm's use of Socrates and Alcibiades to figure out what happens in terms Socrates, but actually what Socrates understands is that he really wants himself. He…

…Plato's dialogues. You know what happens there. One guy speaks all the time, and the other says every ten minutes, so it is, Socrates, and so on. But, sorry, I think that our task today is simply, of course, not to simply remain Hegelian, in the sense…

…late Plato. One guy talks all the time, the other guy every ten minutes just says something like, Vizius, yes, so it is Socrates, so it is. Let's have a dialogue, please. So we have time for two questions. Let me be extremely generous. Three. No, sorry.…

…speaks power, the law speaks through him. It's this fetishist logic of what in psychoanalysis we call symbolic castration. For example, Socrates, when he was condemned to death. His point is basically, I know those judges who condemned me are idiots, but…

…there's only two options. You either know something or you don't. Whereas this is what is called Mino's paradox. This is what Socrates criticizes. The idea that you already know something or you don't. I think the truth is that we are somewhere in between…

…it's the thing that can have different qualities at different times. So white is always white and sad is always sad, but Socrates can be happy one minute and sad the next. That's what makes him a substance. The most interesting human characters are often…

…Plato's dialogues. Do you know them? One guy talks all the time. The other guy says every ten minutes by Zeus, so it is Socrates. So let's have this type of a dialogue now. Okay, so let's pretend to be democratic. Put your hands up. Hello. I wonder…

…crucial. You know that the whole Kierkegaard edifice is Christianity, religion as repetition against philosophy for Kierkegaard. From Socrates or Plato rather to Hegel, like erinnerung, rememoration. And, of course, in Freud, it's absolutely crucial, the…

…will not get it when you come next time. Yes? You are a Greek sophist. You are a Greek sophist. You deserve the fate of Socrates, but not poison. Chop, chop the head, in fact. Okay, so, as you know, there is a field of art starting in Mallard Street,…

…that it, philosophy itself, unleashed in its founding gesture. Philosophy is something crazy, radical. It's always as Badiou quoted, of course, Socrates corrupting the youth and so on. There is a radical negative dimension and the gap is there. And I think…

…Alain Badiou's new book, The True Life, La Vraie Vie. Well, Badiou already begins with a wonderful provocative claim that from Socrates onward, the function of philosophy is to corrupt the youth. to alienate or rather, in Brechtian sense, extranate them from…

…it today. But back to Badiou, it's a beautiful beginning where he says that he wants just to go on with what from Socrates onwards is the... the one definition of what is the task of a philosopher, to corrupt the youth. And then he goes wonderfully…

…fundamental references were always, always philosophers. Name it. pre-Socratics. Lacan has a wonderful reading of Dan in Democritus, Socrates, the basic figure of transferes, Plato, Parmenides, Aristotle, Stoics, object A, Aquinas, just name it. The ridiculous…

…look. One guy talks all the time, and the other guy says every ten minutes something like, by Zeus, so it is Socrates, or whatever, you know. Sorry, I'm a totalitarian philosopher. And I'm quite serious here. In philosophy, don't bullshit me with dialogue.…
