EBL 41: Jean Baudrillard "Simulacra and Simulation"
Tyler, Josh and Joel revive EBL for a discussion of Jean Baudrillard's 1983 text "Simulacra and Simulation". They discuss Baudrillard's insistence that symbols and signs in our contemporary society are no longer representing something, standing for something, or obscuring a reality underneath. Instead, reality is replaced by meaningless signs that make up our experience received through the media. All meaning becomes mutable. We discuss and at various times, critique Baudrillard.
The EBL gang speaks with renowned novelist, Renaud Camus

Continuing our series on Theology and Social Theory, we turn to an examination of work of the Catholic Reactionaries to unearth the origins of what became the secular social sciences through the work of August Comte and Emile Durkheim. Both a critique of De Maistre and De Bonald but also of the positivist founding of Sociology, the basis for reactionary thought today is both discovered as heterodox theology and critiqued as such.
