Ah, body, white body, my poor pelt; Lean acre of ground that the years master, Though fenced cunningly from wind and cold; What bird sings deep in your leafless boughs, What flowers adorn your terraces of bone? You are scrub, you are desert, you are dry sand, In whose bare banks the blood stream bickers in vain. You are betrayed by wilderness within, That spreads upward and outward like a stain.

Okay, just One More Paragraph of #Barthes ; the second and final part of the section called "Brio".

It begins:

"The _brio_ of the text (without which, after all, there is no text) is its _will to bliss_..."

Now "bliss" here is «jouissance», which is the more orgasmic kind of pleasure, in contrast to the milder and more civilized kind which is «plaisir».

Along with the very Nietzschean "will to" («volonté de», as in «volonté de puissance»), we get a delightful alternative to the Will to Power: the Will to Climax.

"..._will to bliss_: just where it exceeds demand, transcends prattle [le babil], and whereby it attempts to overflow, to break through the constraint of adjectives -- which are those doors of language through which the ideological and the imaginary come flowing in."

The notion of overflowing, of surplus, is very Zarathustra ("I teach you the friend and his overflowing heart"). I didn't really get the thing about adjectives, though; why those rather than verbs or nouns?

I asked ChatGPT 4.0, as one sometimes does these days, and it said inter alia that adjectives "give color, texture, mood, judgment, and shape to the otherwise neutral facts that nouns and verbs present. In other words, adjectives provide a sense of subjective interpretation and perspective." I thought that was pretty plausible.

It remains odd to me, though, that the doors through which subjectivity flow in are seen as _constraints_ which the overflowing abundance of the Will to Bliss wants to break through.

Again perhaps this is more poetry than truth-claim, and I shouldn't worry about it too much. But on the other hand perhaps Barthes really wants me to think about this overflowing bliss as something opposed to or at least constrained by "the ideological and imaginary" (or the doors that allow those to flow in). I'm not sure what that would look like.

In the original, it is not literally to "break through the constraint of adjectives"; it is rather (at least in this edition) «de forcer la main mise des adjectifs», which is (I think?) a bit overloaded between "to force the hand" and "to overcome the stranglehold" (whence presumably Miller's calmer "constraints").

Not sure yet if that helps any. :)

Good link to Nietzsche; my American Analytic School training points out that "subjective" and "existential" are generally considered rather applicable to much of Nietzsche.

Of course Barthes knows this, so we are left to think that he is either making, or taking for granted, some deeper point about the important differences between the three terms, which is basically left as an exercise for the reader.

Whee!

He brings Nietzsche in here, which feels extremely appropriate as for instance Zarathustra raises the same question as to say truth vs poetry as this does.

"This 'for me' is neither subjective nor existential , but Nietzschean ('. . . basically, it is always the same question: What is it _for me_?. . .')."

It is probably a mistake to read #mythology on a sociological level, and more accurate to read it on a psychological one. That said, it's not like there is a clean line between the two, and there is certainly a fair amount of traditionalism and nostalgia in #LoTR that could lend itself to a conservative point of view.

The Nazis did the same with #Nietzsche, completely ignoring his abhorrence of German nationalism and repeated denunciations of antisemitism.

Demystification of the idea of fixed, substantial selfhood has been one of the subjects of nineteenth and twentieth-century thought generally. This is true in spite of the dependence of such movements as phenomenology and existentialism on the idea of the ego, "transcendental" or otherwise. After Nietzsche and Freud, however, it would seem difficult to take the existence of the self as an a priori firmly established. Even earlier, Cervantes, Sterne, and Diderot among novelists, for example, had already in one way or another put the existence of the self in question. Moreover, neither Husserl nor Heidegger, as a matter of fact, hold to an idea of the self in the sense of an original and originating ego. Husserlian intentionality is by no means the same as intention in the sense of "I intend to do so and so."

#Nietzsche in Genealogy of Morality, preface §8, on #rumination

Nietzsche, Genealogy of Morality, Kaufmann translation:

In other cases, people find difficulty with the aphoristic form: this arises from the fact that today this form is not taken seriously enough. An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather, one has then to begin its exegesis, for which is required an art of exegesis. I have offered in the third essay of the present book an example of what I regard as "exegesis" in such a case—an aphorism is prefixed to this essay, the essay itself is a commentary on it. To be sure, one thing is necessary above all if one is to practice reading as an art in this way, something that has been unlearned most thoroughly nowadays—and therefore it will be some time before my writings are "readable"—something for which one has almost to be a cow and in any case not a "modern man": rumination.

The Twilight of Nietzsche

Unlike conventional philosophers, #Nietzsche had no unified, coherent theory. He didn’t proceed in a methodical, calm manner, advancing to a carefully delineated conclusion. He never encumbered his prose with technical expressions, jargon or cloudy terminology. No plodding #Kant or #Hegel was he. He was a mystic and a seer, advocate of the Übermensch, the ‘will to power’, ‘eternal recurrence’ and the Antichrist

When does the licence over the complete works of #Dewey expire so this can be done for his writings also?

Of all modern thinkers, Dewey's works especially *should* be freely available in a format that lends itself to an agreeable reading experience. It's hard to imagine that his own spontaneous reaction to the potential of the internet would have been "Put a paywall on my stuff."

Quote from Dewey: "An environment in which some are limited will always in reaction create conditions that prevent full development even of those who fancy they enjoy complete freedom for unhindered growth."

Introduction: I’m a philosopher working on post-Kantian #MoralPsychology, #PoliticalPhilosophy, and #PoliticalTheory in #Nietzsche, #Marx, #CriticalTheory, #Beauvoir, #Existentialism, #Freud, and #Psychoanalytic thought. I’m also interested in #aesthetics, modernist #art and #literature, #film (#NouvelleVague and #Noir), and #jazz (#bop and #HardBop), as well as the #philosophy of play and games.
