2 ideas

1. Philosophy / D. Nature of Philosophy / 1. Philosophy

7973	There is no longer anything on which there is nothing to say [Baudrillard]
	Full Idea: There is no longer anything on which there is nothing to say.
	From: Jean Baudrillard (The Intelligence of Evil [2004], p. 17)
	A reaction: Compare Ideas 2937 and 6870. I'm not sure whether Baudrillard is referring to the limits of philosophy, or merely to social taboos. I like Ansell Pearson's view: we should attempt to discuss what appears to be undiscussable.

1. Philosophy / H. Continental Philosophy / 1. Continental Philosophy

6841	Some continental philosophers are relativists - Baudrillard, for example [Baudrillard, by Critchley]
	Full Idea: There are philosophers in the continental tradition who are relativists - Baudrillard, for example.
	From: report of Jean Baudrillard (works [1976]) by Simon Critchley - Interview with Baggini and Stangroom p.192
	A reaction: This remark is in the context of Critchley denying that most continental philosophers are relativists.
