Where do I start with his Œuvre? After both Land and Zizek have failed us, I really want to deep dive in this philosopher of our times.

>philosopher
Yes, he is one of the world's foremost experts on Heidegger and has been a philosophy professor at the prestigious Berlin University of the Arts for over a decade.

>of our times
Yes he is alive, still writing and has over 30 books to date.

>>24828244
Philosophy is dead, 'philosophers' no longer exist, just like artists, poets, composers, dancers, actors, directors, novelists, etc. no longer exist. All art and culture is dead. This is the greatest dark age known in the entire history of the world.

>he is one of the world's foremost experts on Heidegger
He criticised Heidegger for locating his sense of home in the rootedness of soil and culture. He's a moron.

I've like read the first chapter of picrel while I was waiting for the train.
It's a fun read.
Don't know much about him though.

ok schizo

>>24828300
Continue living in faery land denying reality to make yourself feel better. Btw I'm not saying anything that Heidegger didn't predict.

>>24828301
have you even tried the meds?

>>24828301
What is it dead, anon? What is in the way of it being alive?

>>24828307

>>24828307
If you think the value of 'being alive' or 'enjoying life', both considerably cliched thoughts, are arguments against the death of culture then you are literally retarded. I don't let it interrupt my life, it's just a fact that public culture is a hellish nightmare.

Read less Ligotti and go outside lil bro.

>>24828309
Serious question: do you think that you are replying to the same person in those two quotes?

>>24828325
Ligotti is a retard that has absolutely nothing to do with what we're talking about.

>nihilist retard calls other people without crippling brainsads "retards"
Tiring.

>>24828354
Let me get this straight, you're calling me a retard because you (mistakenly) assume I'm a nihilist for calling a nihilist author a retard and you think nihilists are retards?

... Is this an ESL problem or are you just that stupid?

>>24828357
Schizo or just stupid? Do you even know what you are writing? lol...
It's clear you are wikipedia-educated, or even worse, from GPT, and have not the faintest clue what you are talking about in regards to labels.

>>24828380
Is this bait? Your posts are sheer nonsense. I never said anything nihlistic, and now, after pointing out the irony of you calling me a nihlist retard for insulting a nihlist retard, you play dumb.

You can learn everything about him by just reading the headlines of the culture sections of lefty newspapers, there are so many headlines that I reckon that reading all of them must be equivalent to reading all his books. He's so giganormie that he's compatible with the current state of both boomer and millennial/genz journalism. For the boomers it's "screens too much, bad health for the youth"; for the youth it's "work too much, contemplative life (that is, living at the expense of your parents) good, be water my friend".

Yesterday I went to my local mall. Whenever I peek in the book section, especially a "philosophy" corner that gets worse each time that I go. Guess what, it was all stoicism, self help, history aaaaand Byung Chul Han. There you have, the left's most valuable and inquiring philosopher.

>>24828437
Whenever I go I peek*

>>24828437
Agree with you. He's got the depth of a toilet bowl, you can't see the bottom of it cause it's full of shit. He just spews out phrases hoping one of them will catch on but doesn't really dive deep into anything. He's not a philosopher, he's a commentator of contemporary pop culture and consumer trends. What new concept or idea has he coined?

>>24828437
Lefties don't even like him

>>24828741
I would argue he clarified a lot of Heidggerian positions in relation to digital society. Something Heidegger clearly couldn't do. Yes he's nothing spectacular but you need supplementary stuff like this.

He needs to organize his essays that retread over the same core ideas into a cohesive work. But he makes more money from $15 pamphlets than he would from a single book so I see why he doesn't care to do it.

>>24828806
It's like video game DLC.

>>24828207 (OP)
why would you read any philosophy after Schopenhauer?

>>24828207 (OP)
He's like a more retarded version of Jacques Ellul. Also, I personally dislike South Koreans a lot.

And the Enlightenment brought us here. Funny that

>>24828279
Sad cope

>>24828741
You never read him. You just spout contrarian opinions you heard on sub 2000 subscriber YouTube podcasts. Han is far more intelligent and accomplished than you will ever be.

He's basically reiterating Heidegger

Burnout Society and Death of Narration are short and worth reading. I like him alot.

>>24830122
Thanks, will check those out. Started with In the Swarm.

>>24828207 (OP)
I want to see Byung-Chul Han raping that bitch Han Kang and having a kid that would have Han Han as name

>>24830339
I don't think it works like that.
