    I'm not familiar with this fellow. Explain, and perhaps we can engage in drunken multiplicities of the flesh, in accordance with the ideal of jouissance set out by Lacan.

    There are, but they are far too postmodern for my liking.

    Lion–maned professor of Philosophy. Atheist. Hates postmodernists, dislikes Slavoj Žižek and makes little digs at him in various books. Supports Tzvetan Todorov. Wrote the magnificent Against All Gods, which was unusually polemical for him. Top dude, though I’ve yet to meet him.

    Oh dear, I'm quite partial to Slavoj Žižek myself, even if I don't agree with everything he has ever written. He's a very incisive and witty thinker who has done more than the frankfurt school to interest me in ideology critique and Hegelian thinking. And of course, Lacan.

    I've not read any Tzvetan Todorov.

    RE: Against All Gods, I hope this isn't the criticisms of the new atheists framed in a philosophical light.

    I too enjoy a lot of Žižek’s work myself, and plan on writing a short parody of him. Obviously this means that I like him grin12. Like you, I don’t agree with everything, but he is always informative and sharp, witty and thought–provoking. Never boring, unlike some other philosophers I could mention but shan’t (nameless assholes).
