  • Tu croyais que les fadaises d’Agamben en février, c’était terminé. Nope: the New York Times remet une pièce dans la machine.

    Opinion | Giorgio Agamben, the Philosopher Trying to Explain the Coronavirus
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/21/opinion/giorgio-agamben-philosophy-coronavirus.html

    In late February, Mr. Agamben began using the website of his publisher, Quodlibet, to criticize the “techno-medical despotism” that the Italian government was putting in place through quarantines and closings.

    […]

    In fact, “the threshold that separates humanity from barbarism has been crossed,” Mr. Agamben continues, and the proof is in Italians’ treatment of their dead. “How could we have accepted, in the name of a risk that we couldn’t even quantify, not only that the people who are dear to us, and human beings more generally, should have to die alone but also — and this is something that had never happened before in all of history from Antigone to today — that their corpses should be burned without a funeral?”

    Vraiment, au NY Times, on en est encore à imprimer des choses telles que: «in the name of a risk that we couldn’t even quantify»?
