From Bad to Worse (eBook, ePUB)

How Structuralism and Post-Structuralism Ruined Everything

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Finally, an academic roast that's more entertaining than a faculty meeting where someone brought donuts! "From Bad to Worse" mercilessly skewers the most pretentious philosophical movements of the 20th century with savage wit and zero academic mercy.
Journey through the incomprehensible world of structuralism and post-structuralism, where French intellectuals transformed simple ideas into impenetrable word salads while chain-smoking and looking disappointed with everyone. From Saussure's arbitrary signs to Derrida's made-up words, from Lévi-Strauss finding patterns nobody asked for to Foucault seeing power dynamics in your breakfast cereal, this book translates academic gibberish into hilarious plain English.
Whether you're a traumatized humanities student seeking revenge on the theorists who destroyed your GPA, a curious reader wondering why anyone takes these ideas seriously, or just someone who enjoys watching pretentious nonsense get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide delivers. You'll learn why binary oppositions are the intellectual equivalent of sorting blocks, how to deconstruct everything except your own bank statements, and why academic writing became a competition to see who could be least understood.
Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting, concerned looks from strangers, and the disturbing realization that despite everything, these insufferable French people occasionally stumbled onto something useful. Side effects include never being able to hear the word "problematize" without eye-rolling.
