How did I miss this?

Jean Baudrillard died last week at age 77. If anyone could make you ponder what the point of reality or life is/was, it was he.

may he rest in peace.

i am thankful for his contributions, but i also can't think of a PoMo theorist that frustrates me more than Baudrillard.

I know he's frustrating, but so are the theories of most po-mo and post-structuralist philosophers. All these 'images of images of images'...gets kinda wonky after awhile. It's still very interesting stuff, however. It's also good for those nights when insomnia hits. :-)
