"After the Alexandrian war the library in Alexandria was reconstructed, replenished with books and it survived until the Arab conquest. What happened then is preserved in a well-known story told i.al. by the Syriac author Bar-Haebreus. The Arab general Amr ibn al-As confronted with a big library in Alexandria sends a letter to the Rightly-Guided Caliph Omar asking what to with it. And Omar answers "If those books are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if they are opposed to the Quran, destroy them!""

Machine learning porn

"A convolutional neural network (shown thousands of images to teach itself to classify) has been trained using Yahoo’s explicit content model for finding pornography in their search engines, which is then back engineered to generate pornography from scratch (inspiration from Gabriel Goh)."[3]

Time Magazine called Henry Morgenthau, a Jewish man, a "fanatical Naziphobe" in 1944. The term is first found in print in 1939 in Scribner's Commentator:

"... right way about it. Film Survey's highest praise seems reserved for "The Confessions of a Nazi Spy." We didn't see the picture. It may be perfectly grand. But with all respect to the good professor, and although we are a firm Naziphobe ourself .."

Arabic works also played an important role in the transmission of mathematics to Europe during the 10th to 12th centuries.

"The Islamic mathematicians exercised a prolific influence on the development of science in Europe, enriched as much by their own discoveries as those they had inherited by the Greeks, the Indians, the Syrians, the Babylonians, etc."

Adolph P. Yushkevich Golden age of the Moor, Volume 11



Le château de Louppy-sur-Loison



Me in Marville reading Aristote au mont Saint-Michel[4].


In Aristote au mont Saint-Michel[5] (2008) Sylvain Gouguenheim claims that it was not so much the Islamic Golden Age which transmitted our Greek heritage, but Nestorian Christians such as Hunayn ibn Ishaq and translators such as James of Venice.

In a telling passage (above) Gouguenheim says:

"Des chrétiens ont ainsi forgé, de A à Z, le vocabulaire scientifique arabe. Telle fut notamment l'oeuvre de Hunayn ibn Ishaq (809-873), le véritable créateur de la terminologie médicale arabe, dont le génie consista non seulement à décalquer des mots grecs et à les «arabiser» en leur donnant une sonorité arabe (philosophia devenant falsafa) ...".
"Thus Christians have forged the Arab scientific vocabulary from A to Z. That was the nature of the work of Hunayn ibn Ishaq (809-873), the true creator of Arab medical terminology, whose genius not only consisted in the calquing of Greek words and to "arabize" them by giving them an Arabic sound (philosophia becoming falsafa) ... "

And elsewhere:

"La conclusion est claire : l’Orient musulman doit presque tout à l’Orient chrétien. Et c’est cette dette que l’on passe souvent sous silence de nos jours, tant dans le monde musulman que dans le monde occidental."
"The conclusion is clear: the Muslim East owes almost everything to the Christian East, and it is this debt that is often overlooked today, both in the Muslim world and in the Western world."

Translations are mine.

Al-Ghazali's invloed op de islamitische wetenschappen


I normally don't do politics ...

But recently I've been investigating the book Aristote au mont Saint-Michel.

Why?

Because I'm interested in a perceived clash of civilizations.


History of Islam in southern Italy

Kenneth Setton Harry W. Hazard; Robert Lee Wolff; Marshall W. Baldwin; Norman P. Zacour (1955–1990), A History of the Crusades, five volumes, University of Wisconsin Press, ISBN 978-0-299-04834-1, as editor in chief with Harry W. Hazard, Robert Lee Wolff, Marshall W. Baldwin and Norman P. Zacour as coauthors

A history of the Crusades / Vol. 1: The first hundred years, edited by Marshall W. Baldwin; Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1958.

Quote: pp. 40-1

Long before pope Urban II made his impassioned plea at Clermont, the Italian cities were fighting the Saracens on land and sea. During the four centuries preceding 1095 they suffered from seemingly endless raids and plunderings; sometimes they allied themselves with the enemy to attack other cities; on occasion they they met him with force, and these occasions increased in number and gained in success. ... Finally, in the eleventh century the Pisans and Genoese raided the African coast itself, and forced terms of peace upon the Saracen leader, among them the promise to refrain from further piracy. With this victory and peace, made in 1087, control over the western Mediterranean passed from the Arabs to the Italian cities.
The first period of Italo-Arab relations ran from 652 to 827. During these years the Arabs attacked and plundered the south Italian cities almost at will, because the Byzantines and Italians were unable to maintain garrisons everywhere. The attackers shifted their raids in accordance with the Italian defense and preparedness. But they remained mere pirates, since their mainland and maritime forces were occupied elsewhere. ... Not until the Arabs were stopped in 732 and driven from Gaul in 769, did they direct their main attacks upon mid-Europe, upon Italy and its neighboring islands.[6]

"Ten eerste gaan christendom, jodendom en ook bijvoorbeeld het hindoeïsme uit van wat je gelooft en de Koran schrijft met name voor wat je níet moet geloven: ‘Word niet zoals de hypocrieten, word niet zoals de christenen, word niet zoals hen die god boos gemaakt hebben!’ Over wat je wél moet geloven hebben ze pas veel later nagedacht, dat vind je niet zo veel terug in de Koran. De Koran is met name de aanval op de Ander." [7] --Sonja Dahlmans

I'm currently watching all* film adaptations of Bartleby the Scrivener.

Arguably the best version, music by Roger Webb is a bonus. A Mr. Hulot-ish attack on modern life

Very well received, but actually quite silly. The wall facing the window of the lawyer is kafkaesque.

The funniest interpretation. The one I enjoyed the most. The wall of the French version has been replaced by a man throwing rubbish in a container.

These are available on YouTube channel 'Bartleby' [8]

Above are two screenshots from the 2001 American version. The first showing an imaginary landscape with offices in areas "completely inaccessible to pedestrians." The second the classified ad for Bartleby's job. "Lo pay, No bnfts. Dull Job. Vibrating workplace. Apply in person."

*I'd previously seen the Encyclopædia Britannica version of 1969


Richard Dawkins deplatformed at a book talk in Berkeley for “abusive speech” about Islam on Twitter:

"KPFA is a liberal radio station in Berkeley. When I lived there, they were the good guys and I listened to their station almost every day. They were scrupulous in their fact-checking in those days – how sad that they have come to this: if they had done any fact-checking at all, they couldn’t possibly have come to the conclusion that I used “abusive speech” against Islam. The only only one of my tweets I can find this year, which could possibly be called abusive, is nothing to do with Islam." [9]



Cover of Roland Topor's collection of absurdist short stories, La plus belle paire de seins du monde. The illustration, by Topor himself, was also used on the film poster of Fruits of Passion.

The title story was made into a [rather silly] short film in Germany in as "Der schönste Busen der Welt" (1990), and is now online[10]. Alas, no subtitles.

Jayne Mansfield's dead dog

Today, in the Antwerp used book store In 't Profijtelijk Boeksken, I browsed through a copy of Hollywood Babylon for the first time. In the back of the book, there is a section titled Hollywoodämmerung (referring to dämmerung as in gotterdämmerung). This is the section with all the gore. In that section, a photo of Jayne Mansfield's dead dog (above) taken in the aftermath of the traffic accident which killed Jayne Mansfield.


RIP Pierre Henry, pioneer of French electronic music.

Return of the Plagues - Mosquitos


Sylvain Gouguenheim stelt:

"Op het gebied van de filosofie hebben twee moslims, de Pers Avicenna (Ibn Sina) en de Spaanse Averroës (Ibn Rushd) met de joodse geleerde uit moslim-Spanje Maimonides inderdaad een grote invloed gehad op ons eigen denken. Maar dan moet er wel duidelijk bij vermeld worden dat deze drie geleerden in hun eigen milieu door de overheersende strekkingen van de islam, die nog steeds de overhand hebben, als ketters vervolgd werden en de vlucht moesten nemen naar veiliger oorden.”[11]

"Thus, when the sceptic Zeno [it was Pyrrho, not Zeno] took up the study of scepticism by trying, in existing, to remain unaffected by whatever he encountered, so that when having once got out of the way of a mad dog he confessed, shamefacedly, that even a sceptical philosopher is sometimes also a human being, I find nothing ridiculous in that."

Googling "Arthur Forgeais" and "sexual" brings up the "enseignes érotiques" collected in Priapées


"In his major work on philosophical hermeneutics, Truth and Method, Hans-Georg Gadamer mentions Soren Kierkegaard only a few times. Although those passages are significant, it would be an overstatement to suggest that Gadamer's debt to Kierkegaard is anything like that of his primary philosophical mentors: Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Husserl and Heidegger. "

I have the rhombicuboctahedron by Leonardo da Vinci tattooed on my forearm.


The words in Rainer Maria Rilke's poem "As long as you catch what you yourself have thrown",(found as an epigraph to Hans-Georg Gadamer's Truth and Method) are reminiscent of René Descartes's hubris-filled dictum that we would become the “masters and possessors of nature” by deploying the scientific method and reading the "Book of Nature".

The poem by Rilke is perhaps best illustrated by French illustrator Grandville's "Juggler of Universes" (above).


"Duty! Wondrous thought, that workest neither by fond insinuation, flattery, nor by any threat, but merely by holding up thy naked law in the soul, and so extorting for thyself always reverence, if not always obedience; before whom all appetites are dumb, however secretly they rebel; whence thy original?" --Immanuel Kant (from Metaphysics of Ethics) , cited in in The Descent of Man


"Alles vorauszusetzende in der Hermeneutik ist nur Sprache" --Friedrich Schleiermacher

Martin Heidegger (right) and Hans-Georg Gadamer in 1923, cutting wood in Heidegger's remote mountain hut, outside the Black Forest village of Todtnauberg.

I'm trying to write a paper on existentieel-hermeneutische ethiek (existential-hermeneutic ethics). This means Gadamer (who, according to professor Johan Taels, bases his ethics on Kierkegaard's. We are also reading Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments.


I stumbled upon Kant's notion of the "Hang zum Böse" (propensity or proneness to evil), a concept put forward by Immanuel Kant in Die Religion and elsewhere.

It reminds me of the notion of the "imp of the perverse".

"Imp of the Perverse", so it seems, is is also the title of a 1927 painting (above) by René Magritte. It belongs to a series of five paintings the Belgian artist devoted to Edgar Allan Poe including The Fall of the House of Usher (1949) and three different paintings all entitled The Domain of Arnheim.

I'm currently reading Art/Porn, in which I first expressed an interest in 2013[17].

My first impression?

I'm mildly interested by Pliny's mention of youngsters trying to copulate with the Aphrodite of Knidos, leaving a stain on it, which reminded me of the sex with buildings scenes in Hypnerotomachia Poliphili[18].

"Hegel, as we remarked in the first chapter, pronounced the Greeks "not mistaken" in representing only the heroic male nude and in not depicting the inherently sexed female nude." p.62
"It is in this way that photographic pornography plays an unacknowledged role in the debate between painting and photography in the nineteenth century." p.62, see beaver shot

"ekelhaften Mischmasch" "praktische Weltweisheit" --Gadamer citing Kant in “On the Possibility of a Philosophical Ethics, " in Hermeneutics, Religion, and Ethics, 20–21. 77.

“On the Possibility of a Philosophical Ethics," which has probably provoked the greatest reaction, Gadamer plays Aristotle off against Kant.5 It would be a trivial misunderstanding, however, to read this essay ...


Men wordt tegenwoordig schrijver door te lezen, niet meer door zijn originaliteit. En mens wordt men door anderen na te apen. Men is net als al die anderen en ergo is men mens! --Kierkegaard

I'm currently reading Hard Core: Power, Pleasure (1989). What a remarkable study. Linda Williams single-handedly started the whole trend of the an academic study of pornography. The publication is pretty audacious, using the loaded word hardcore in its title. The cover itself looks like a lurid sex novel, with the eighties Miami Beach art deco lettering popular in many porn films that this book reviews.

"The German poet Morgenstern once said of seagulls: "Die Mowen sehen die aus, als ob sie Emma hiessen. ... The sound of "Emma" as a name and the visual appearance of the bird appear to me similar.

Alors, aux soirs de lassitude Tout en peuplant sa sollitude Des fantômes… Als in Brassens’ "Les Passantes", ontvouwt zich in de laat-kapitalistische beleving van de pornografie een nostalgische inertie. De 15-minuten "achter gesloten deuren en verduisterende vensters" als symptoom van een aanhoudende psyche van zonde en schaamte geratificeerd door een veralgemeende, winst-maximaliserende consuming desire. Daarbij gaat de utopie van de pornografie als onuitputtelijke speeltuin van generositeit, verkwisting, en rollenspel volledig aan ons voorbij en worden de kritieken van de pornografie bevestigd en herhaald in haar gebruik. Wordt deze utopie gered in de artistieke verbeelding van de pornografie?

... and sit down on my face ...

I watched The Piano Teacher (2001) by Michael Haneke.

Walter Klemmer: [reading the teacher's letter] "On the contrary, if I beg, tighten my bonds, please. Adjust the belt by at least two or three holes. The tighter the better. Then, gag me with some stockings I will have ready. Stuff them in so hard that I'm incapable of making any sound. Next, take off the blindfold, please, and sit down on my face and punch me in the stomach to force me to thrust my tongue in your behind."



I watched The White Ribbon (2009) by Michael Haneke. A very powerful movie. Just like Caché (2005), it has more than an open ending, you feel like you are not being told half the story. You also feel that the director know all and tells you nothing.

The film suggests that children can be cruel (Lord of the Flies) but it is certainly not just another devil-child film.

Above is one of the more cruel scenes of the film, in which the doctor tells the midwife he no longer wants her.

The whole scene is here[29].
