Boomers could fake entire academic careers, whereas our generations are relegated to criticizing literature we haven't read on 4chan

>>25063142
that's because the boomers are still faking their careers and refuse to relinquish tenure

>>25063136
Very true. Just copypaste citations from another work and the house of cards keeps spreading. That 'it came to me in a dream' meme pic seems more honest as far as sourcing goes.

On the one side, that's why you stick to other continentals and take the French with a grain of salt. On the other side, you only need the first 100 pages of the first volume of The Capital to get most talking points of French marxist philosophy out of it. Volume Two and Three are for people who really get it and want to talk economics, like David Harvey and the likes.

Back then academics conversed in real life with each other. No need to read hegel slop if others like jean hypolite already did it

>>25063127
>he knew very little about Kant, Spinoza, and Hegel
Exaggerated account if i've ever seen one, he was probably overly humble. These are not obscure philosophers, and this man studied in the École Normale Supérieure, and if i'm not mistaken graduated there. Come on now.

>Additionally, Althusser had "contrived to impress his first teacher, the Catholic theologian Jean Guitton, with a paper whose guiding principles he had simply filched from Guitton's own corrections of a fellow student's essay," and "he concocted fake quotations in the thesis he wrote for another major contemporary philosopher, Gaston Bachelard."
Your next cope sir?

Kek, that's called being astute, one has to earn a reputation.
Though you can't graduate from the ENS being merely astute, which is my point. Maybe because of the decadence of French academia, which I understate, he earned his recognition, but Althusser doesn't strike me as a fraud and back then you had to know your shit well. Bergson, for example, wrote two doctoral thesis, as was the norm, one in Latin.

Around the time of this memoir, he developed a form of depression wherein he not only wanted to kill himself but annihilate any trace of his being, including obviously his scholarship. He was horrifically mentally ill. And anyone who buys this clearly hasn’t read him, lol, this board continues to just be retarded 20 year olds

>Althusser revealed that he knew very little about Kant, Spinoza, and Hegel
This is his psychosis speaking. The title of his thesis, that he defended at one of the most prestigous universities at the time, is On Content in the Thought of G.W.F. Hegel. How would he be able to write this without knowing Hegel?

>>25063127
>he had not read Capital when he wrote his own most important Marxist texts

No one did/does. It only persists in 'social theory'. Though saying so at the time took some nut. 'Overdetermination' taken back from Freud is something Lacanalists could take a note from.

>Leftists and (((philosophers))) are retarded effeminate frauds
Wow thanks anon

Very astute observation, Juan

>at one of the most prestigous universities at the time
Do you think this means anything when the entire faculty were Maoists?

One EARNS a reputation through merit, not reputationmaxxing

Chestless men like you are why no one respects the intelligentsia

>>25063159
Even when all boomers are dead, loser Millennials will still complain about them.

>>25064274
I doubt that very much. you see, when a problem eradicates itself through death, people tend not to dwell on it unless they have some kind of survivor's guilt.
