Pierre Boutang

Rene Girard is better. Who also BTFO'd Deleuze and Guattari. Who also completes Hegel.

I read a bit of Boutang and don't get the hype.

> insulting de Gaulle
> good

Boutang seems like a bit of a meme. Just like Charles Maurras, known atheist.

What is the language you speak?

I'd say the best thing would be to check the names of journalists that wrote for l'Action Française, La Nation Française and for Aspects de la France, and try to see if they also wrote books (it's usually the case).

As for catholicism, Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, Jacques Maritain (pre-1926), Mgr Lefebvre, Jean Madiran, Marcel De Corte and also Jean Ousset that is severely underrated are great.

probably anglo

The french are incapable of having any real convictions, it's all about LARPing as monarchists, stalinists, catholics or nihilist pomo edgelords, but they never mean a word of what they say.

Oh gosh I suddenly love this man.

can somebody translate the central meaning of ontologie du secret plz

asking for a brainlet

Why do I doubt that Deleuze and Guattari are nearly as "BTFO'd" as some of you claim?

>catholic and monarchist
So he's just an escapist then?

Let's just hope that he gets translated. Here's the presentation of the book in which he treats the Deleuze&Guattari problem.

As he approaches the debris of desire, the author hears the galloping hooves of the four horses in the Revelation of St John. His reaction is not despair; just as St John’s text does not end in disaster. But before continuing, there is some rubble to clear away. In metaphysics, to clear away is to recognize, to invite others to recognize. Consequently the author reveals the deadly effects of the idealism of the ‘Enlightenment’, of psychoanalysis, of Deleuze’s ‘desire machines’. After demonstrating how desire was ‘unmasked’ during three centuries of theoretical and practical error, the author establishes, or re-establishes, a free will whose tragedy and glory was understood only by Christianity. Assembling the Fathers of the Church and modern thinkers such as Kierkegaard (and even, on rare points of convergence, Heidegger), he designates the hope, fundamental and constitutive, of all desire. Built on faith in the Christian revelation and the specifically Catholic idea of man in God’s image, he brings us a philosophy which permits man who has recognized his supernatural origin to access authentic release.

Also, do you know a publisher that could be interested in a translation of his book destroying Sartre ?

>monarchist

Even dumber than being an ancap

Well, I know that it's difficult to understand for most Americans since they don't have any history but it can be understandable when you're from a real country.

Whats with the the french always treating philosophers like fucking rock stars? Seems to me that french philosophy is more art than properly structured thought and analysis.

I just made the thread that way to try to get people watch the thread. I personally don't really care about his private life but since his thought is practically unknown in France due to post-68 destruction of Education, and even less in foreign countries since he's never been translated, trying to get clicks by presenting him as a cool guy could lead to some people in reading his philosophy.

Thing is that, it will need some translation.
I'll try to do it for his "Is Sartre possessed ?" since it's short and witty.

Okay, fair enough. "This guy btfo X" and similar just always trigger me fucking hard so you might actually be hurting your efforts with some people.

>destroyed Hegel with Vico
But they are have too much in common.
Also links in english please.

Oh yes, please tell me of your great plans to establish a monarchy in France
