>In March 2017, Searle was the subject of sexual assault allegations. The Los Angeles Times reported: "A new lawsuit alleges that university officials failed to properly respond to complaints that John Searle, an 84-year-old renowned philosophy professor, sexually assaulted his 24-year-old research associate last July and cut her pay when she rejected his advances."[13][14] Berkeley's alleged protection of Searle was seen in some quarters as a recurrence of earlier problems in dealing with similar accusations against other staff.[15][16]

>The suit, filed in a California court on March 21, 2017, seeks damages from both Searle and the Regents of the University of California as his employers. It also claims that Jennifer Hudin, the director of the John Searle Center for Social Ontology, where the complainant had been employed as an assistant to Searle, has stated that Searle “has had sexual relationships with his students and others in the past in exchange for academic, monetary or other benefits”.[17] It was reported that "[i]n early March, Searle’s students learned he would no longer be teaching his undergraduate 'Philosophy of Mind' course. Beyond citing 'personal reasons,' university officials provided no explanation for Searle’s departure, according to a department source who asked to remain anonymous."[17]

>After the lawsuit was made public, several previous allegations of sexual harassment by Searle were also revealed.[18]

Haha I love it! Fuck Searle and fuck Berkeley!

>tfw will never be a top-tier academic philosopher abusing his power to shag cuties
This guy is an incarnation of a smug Pepe.

>Heh...... nothing personnel, kid.....

>beyond citing personal reasons
He's fucking 84.
>mfw people are so weak they will suck an 80 year old cock for an A

Derrida's revenge

Maybe they're doing it for fun. Stinky old man balls may be a rare fetish, but it exists. Also the fact that it is a transgression or even just being submissive. Not trying to defend the sleaze, I'm just saying that people can be slutty as well as victims. I know a formal logics professor who pulled the same shit. I'd say it's an analytic thing, but some continentals are up to it as well (including a semiology teacher I know... more like semenology).

Wasn't some American friend of Derrida's who signed his name using vampire fangs ( ,.., ) also accused of that? Forgot his name, but I laughed my ass off not too long in a thread about it.

Was she chinese

>but some continentals are up to it as well

You bet your ass they are.

How would he know?

God this is my fucking dream. For me it's always Gadamer. I picture being Gadamer, this 95 year old motherfucker who eats philosophy berets for breakfast, and it coming out as a big scandal that I've banged three thousand twentysomething interns. I want to be an ancient philosophy sorcerer that everyone respects and sees as a kindly old harmless thinkin' guy and then shatter everyone's expectations by being caught with this century's young Hannah Arendt straddling my face in a broom closet. I want to be a five foot tall goblin with crazy-eyes like Sartre and have my equivalent of Beauvoir give posthumous interviews about how I was drowning in pussy in between writing my sixth and seventh book. Searle is the fucking man. I am going to eat ass and philosophize until I'm 250 years old. He proves the dream is still possible. We can still do it.

I wouldn't have gotten angry though. Half the fun of being a pervert is when they rightfully spurn you. You shouldn't get all petty about it and try for revenge. You should just put down your copy of Strauss' correspondence with Kojeve and make a V with your fingers and lick between it so she runs out of the room crying and no one believes her.

They have nothing on Sartre who had to take enough meth to kill an elephant every day just to avoid going into withdraw and infested half of Frances academic scene with his STD's.

I'd lose my job for that ass desu

...

lol

So this is...the power of philosophy.

is this real? holy shit my sides oh fuck

i hope this becomes pasta

>He openly watched pornography in front of her, the complaint states, and asked her to log into a “Sugar Baby, Sugar Daddy” website for him.

nice!

How many philosophers were perverts, Veeky Forums?

Kant was obsessed with abstaining from sex and masturbation to the point that he tied his hands to his bedposts every night to keep from touching himself

Wittgenstein was a self-hating homo

Heidegger stuck his Nazi dick in Hannah Arendt and you have to image he got off on the degeneracy of fucking a Jew

The entire existence of Foucault

Schopenhauer was a womanizing misogynist with a mommy complex

Beauvoir recruited her female students to fuck Sartre

I suspect that any philosopher who attains greatness is sexually fucked in one way or another, but thinkers of the past had an easier time of hiding it. Kierkegaard has always struck me as someone who would be into weird shit

>Kant was obsessed with abstaining from sex and masturbation to the point that he tied his hands to his bedposts every night to keep from touching himself

just sounds like he was a freak who was into self-bondage, he probably humped the mattress until he got off

my theory is that he was forcing his body to have wet dreams in some sort of sexualized capitulation of his free will to the degrading demands of biology. imagine him waking up covered in two weeks' worth of stored cum expelled during the night, calling in his maid to untie his hands as she tries not to glance over at his cum-soaked loins sitting in a puddle of seed beneath him.

hegel was pretty normal.

I thought we dreams went away after like 30.

the body is constantly producing semen and has to get rid of it somehow. if you're not ejaculating on purpose then your body will make you

>Half the fun of being a pervert is when they rightfully spurn you
Honestly, I feel bad for male perverts nowadays, with the big hullabaloo about feminism and "sexual harrassment in the workplace". All it takes is one repressed or nonrepressed lesbian and any guy who tries to be a player is now facing sexual assault charges.

Nah dude your sperm die and then are absorbed by your body and the protein is broken down to make new sperm. Wet dreams are like a psychological phenomenon based on high amounts of hormones rushing around your head and body.

i think a lot of time when you can't/don't fap for a while you just nut in your sleep and don't notice because it dries by the time you wake up, didn't dfw write a thing about that in that story about the diving board as your life or w/e

>Wittgenstein was a self-hating homo
no
>Schopenhauer was a womanizing misogynist with a mommy complex
haha you're bloody making these up you loon

>eliminative materialists
suave guys like Dennet, wholesome couples like the Churchlands
>mindcucks
rapists

Sartre was bad, but let's be real: that description is actually of Foucault

KIERKEGAARD WAS LITERALLY JESUS

The greeks fucked lil boys

holy Veeky Forums. kek.

BY THEIR STANDARDS IT DOESNT COUNT AS PERVERSION

DONT U SLANDER OUR GREAT FOREFATHERS WITH UR PRESENTIST DRIVEL

>tfw Searle insists on fighting his own case in court and philosophically establishes that Joanna Ong does not in fact exist as an ontologically valid being capable of accusing him of sexual assault

Wittgenstein was more gay than straight. He was like not very into women. He was real deep into boipuss

Currently reading Dialogues, the book they wrote together. Claire Parnet wasn't just a cutie, but smart as well. I suspect the absolute speed concept in Epicurus that D&G developed in their late work was first brought to their attention by her.


Guattari was a notorious womanizer who eventually married (after several failed marriages) very young junkie who overdosed and died.

Lacan was a bit of a womanizer as well supposedly.

Rousseau liked to be spanked iirc. He also left his bastards in orphanages.

Hegel had a bastard with his maid which he eventually adopted.

>haha you're bloody making these up you loon
It's actually true. Schopenhauer was quite the lecher.

heh.

Could you imagine Deleuze cramming his stinky french fingers up your snatch with those long, disgusting fingernails of his?

Regine was 14 when they started dating. Does that count?

This only makes Searle more based desu

Kierkegaard was legitimately celibate. Regine totes wanted to fuck and make him her husband, but he was literally the child of god.

I just realized that Deleuze probably had trouble touching his wife due to his nails and got sad.

Why are the French such degenerates?

That's what happens when you've been in cultural, economic and scientific decline since the industrial revolution.

I fucking hate this guy.

i was looking for the nytimes article on it since they love to bash any white male that is insensitive, not even one story about it that i could find, is searle jewish or something? i don't see any other way that they would let someone who appears to be a white male not get dragged through the mud for this...

He supposedly masturbated to mathematical formulas. I'm not even sure what to call that besides patrician.

The lawsuit, which lists Searle and the Regents of the University of California as defendants, claims Searle groped [the plaintiff] in his office after he told her “they were going to be lovers.” He also said he had an “emotional commitment to making her a public intellectual,” the complaint states, and that he was “going to love her for a long time.” [The plaintiff] turned Searle down and reported him to other UC Berkeley employees, but they did nothing, the complaint states. Instead, Searle cut [the plaintiff’s] salary and she was eventually fired, according to the complaint, which also claims Searle watched pornography at work and made sexist comments.


> Love her for a long time
> Asian-American assistant
> Chinese Room

Please stop, this is too much, can't breathe...

He is 84, why would he care?

/me waits for Pumped up Kicks to start playing

>After a week of working together, Searle locked his office door and "went directly to Ong to grope her," according to the complaint, telling her they were “going to be lovers.”

>Now don't try to argue your way outta this Chinese room.
