Prompted by my previous post on Nietzsche in film, here is an interesting film on the life of Immanuel Kant, more particularly on his last days.
The film, The Last Days of Immanuel Kant is based on The Last Days of Immanuel Kant by English writer Thomas De Quincey.
In the film, Kant approaches the end of his life, entirely punctuated by habits acquired over many years. The leaving of his butler Martin Lampe will upset this well planned routine.

In the scene above, Kant reads a letter asking for help. It is a letter by Maria von Herbert, sent in August 1791.
The letter was also mentioned in La vie sexuelle d'Emmanuel Kant, about which I have written here.
Like so many philosophers, Kant was not sexually active. For all we know, Immanuel Kant died a virgin. I find this very interesting.
So did Friedrich Nietzsche, in The Genealogy of Morals he says on married philosophers:
- "the philosopher shudders mortally at marriage, together with all that could persuade him to it—marriage as a fatal hindrance on the way to the optimum. Up to the present what great philosophers have been married? Heracleitus, Plato, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Kant, Schopenhauer—they were not married, and, further, one cannot imagine them as married. A married philosopher belongs to comedy, that is my rule; as for that exception of a Socrates—the malicious Socrates married himself [to Xanthippe], it seems, ironice, just to prove this very rule."
So did Jacques Derrida.
- Asked what would he like to see in a documentary on a major philosopher, such as Hegel or Heidegger, Derrida replies he would want them to speak of their sexuality and 'the part that love plays in their life'. He criticizes the dissimulation of such philosophers concerning their sex lives - 'why have they erased their private life from their work?'

- Those in the crossing must in the end know what is mistaken by all urging for intelligibility: that every thinking of being, all philosophy, can never be confirmed by "facts," ie, by beings. Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy. Those who idolize "facts" never notice that their idols only shine in a borrowed light. They are also meant not to notice this; for thereupon they would have to be at a loss and therefore useless. But idolizers and idols are used wherever gods are in flight and so announce their nearness.

- On October 13, 1972, the charismatic and controversial French theorist and psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan is giving a lecture at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium, when a young man with long hair and a chip on his shoulder walks up to the front of the lecture hall and begins making trouble. He spills water and what appears to be flour all over Lacan’s lecture notes and then stammers his way into a strange speech that sounds as if it were taken straight out of Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle:
- “The composite body which up to fifty years ago could be called ‘culture’– that is, people expressing in fragmented ways what they feel — is now a lie, and can only be called a ‘spectacle,’ the backdrop of which is tied to, and serves as, a link between all alienated individual activities. If all the people here now were to join together and, freely and authentically, wanted to communicate, it’d be on a different basis, with a different perspective. Of course this can’t be expected of students who by definition will one day become the managers of our system, with their justifications, and who are also the public who with a guilty conscience will pick up the remains of the avant-garde and the decaying ‘spectacle.'”
- The 71-year-old Lacan never loses his composure. (His cigar appears bent out of shape, but it was that way from the beginning.) The audience, too, retains a certain Gallic nonchalance. Dangerous Minds sums it up in the headline “The Single Most ‘French’ Moment in all of 1972: Jacques Lacan Accosted, But No One Stops Smoking.” The scene is from Jacques Lacan Speaks, a one-hour documentary by Belgian filmmaker Françoise Wolff. You can watch the complete film, which includes Lacan’s extended and rather cryptic response to the incident and other excerpts from the lecture, followed by Wolff’s interview with Lacan the following day, in our post: “Charismatic Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan Gives Public Lecture (1972).”[1]
- - Regarde-moi dans les yeux Nassim, je suis ta mère, pourquoi je devrais me voiler?
- - Tu es une femme ...
- - Qui c'est qui t'a mis au monde toi et ta barbe ? Lève-toi ! Pourquoi je devrais me voiler ? Pourquoi je devrais me cacher ? Qu'est-ce que tu vois ? L'esprit de Satan ? Un objet du désir des hommes ? Si ton père ne m'avait pas désirée sache-le tu ne serais jamais venu au monde. Le voile avait été conseillé il y a très longtemps pour distinguer les femmes vertueuses des esclaves pour qu'elles soient respectées. En ce temps-là, une femme qui n'était pas voilée était considérée comme esclave ce qui voulait dire une femme facile à posséder. Aujourd'hui grâce à Dieu il n'y a plus d'esclave, aujourd'hui ici toutes les femmes sont libres,. Et aucune femme, écoute-moi bien mon fils, aucune femme ne doit être facile à posséder. Si les hommes ressentent du désir pour les femmes qu'il en soit ainsi c'est la volonté d'Allah, mais plus jamais, jamais ils ne nous rendront esclaves, nous couvrir et nous ballotter comme des gros paquets pour éteindre leur désir charnel. C'est à vous de fermer les yeux s'il le faut, maîtrisez-vos envies sataniques, luttez contre les tentations du démon ! C'est sur vos yeux qu'il faut mettre un voile pas sur notre visage !

I just finished reading Submission by Michel Houellebecq. It made me rush out and get Brave New World. I liked Submission.
I read Possibility of an Island, The Map and the Territory and Submission in fast succession.
My favourite being Possibility. Basically because it's his most ambitious novel and because it features a 'likable' protagonist and his two love stories.
Submission is special because of the Joris-Karl Huysmans link. Houellebecq is a big fan of 19th century literature and sociology and it looks like he spent a lot of time researching Huysmans.

More philosophers in film, Monty Python's The Philosophers' Football Match (1972, above).

Here is a roundup of some philosophical Monty Python sketches.
I've taken an interest in biopics.
Researching Nietzsche I stumbled upon the film Beyond Good and Evil (1977) by Liliana Cavani, which follows the intense relationship formed in the 1880s between Friedrich Nietzsche, Lou Salome and Paul Rée.
It features the Lou Salomé reins Friedrich Nietzsche and Paul Ree in front of her cart[7] (above) scene as well as the horse scene in Turin (Nietzsche saw a horse being flogged, embraced it and collapsed).
Another interesting film appears to be Days of Nietzsche in Turin[8], a 2001 Brazilian film.
Referring to the horse incident the film The Turin Horse[9] asks "what happened to the horse?".
In director Béla Tarr’s introductory words:
- "In Turin on 3rd January, 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche steps out of the doorway of number six, Via Carlo Alberto. Not far from him, the driver of a hansom cab is having trouble with a stubborn horse. Despite all his urging, the horse refuses to move, whereupon the driver loses his patience and takes his whip to it. Nietzsche comes up to the throng and puts an end to the brutal scene, throwing his arms around the horse’s neck, sobbing. His landlord takes him home, he lies motionless and silent for two days on a divan until he mutters the obligatory last words, 'Mutter, ich bin dumm!' ['Mother, I am stupid!' in German] and lives for another ten years, silent and demented, cared for by his mother and sisters. We do not know what happened to the horse."

- The circle is a universal symbol with extensive meaning. It represents the notions of totality, wholeness, original perfection, the Self, the infinite, eternity, timelessness, all cyclic movement, God ('God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere' (Hermes Trismegistus)). As the sun, it is masculine power; as the soul and as encircling waters, it is the feminine maternal principle. "It implies an idea of movement, and symbolizes the cycle of time, the per petual motion of everything that moves, the planets' journey around the sun (the circle of the zodiac), the great rhythm of the universe. The circle is also zero in our system of numbering, and symbolizes potential, or the embryo. It has a magical value as a protective agent, ... and indicates the end of the process of individuation, of striving towards a psychic wholeness and self-realization" (Julien, 71).[10]

- "Let us not doubt that there is a difference between man and woman no less certain and important than that between man and the apes of the forest. We would have just as good reason to deny woman membership of our species as to refuse to acknowledge brotherhood with the apes. Examine carefully a naked woman beside a man of the same age, naked like her, and you will be readily convinced of the considerable difference (disregarding the sex) which exists between the two creatures and will clearly see that the woman is merely a lower degree of the man. The differences likewise exist within, and anatomical dissection of one and the other, if done with painstaking care, will bring this truth to light." --Strindberg cited in Dialectic of Enlightenment [11]

I finished reading The Possibility of an Island a week ago.
Some recollections:
There is a great and almost childish emphasis on the bliss of the insertion of the phallus in the vulva.
The most misogynist joke ever is in the novel: "How do we call the fat around the vagina? Woman."
Another dictum:
"The sexual life of man can be broken down into two phases: the first when he prematurely ejaculates, and the second when he can no longer manage to get a hard-on."
Above: a clip from the film, directed by Houellebecq himself. It show the bikini contest at the beginning of the film. The film has the meager IMDb score of 3.5. Nevertheless I'd very much like to see it.

The Possibility of an Island is world literature classic #110
The Possibility of an Island is very much a philosophical novel, as is most of Michel Houellebecq's work. In this particular novel, for example, Houellebecq juxtaposes Plato's soulmate theory to Saint Paul's 'one flesh' remark in the Epistle to the Ephesians, remarking that this 'love craving', this need for emotional symbiosis is the origin of all unhappiness.
In the words of Houellebecq:
- "It was [Plato's Symposium] that intoxicated Western mankind, mankind as a whole, which has inspired in it disgust at its condition of a rational animal, which had engendered in it a dream that it had taken two millennia to try and rid itself of, without completely succeeding."
Below is Plato's soulmate theory in which Zeus split the four legged and four armed primeval humans in two parts, giving birth to creatures who are forever searching for the other half, the soul mate, to reunite their flesh:
- "[Primeval man had] … four hands and four feet, eight in all … they made an attack upon the gods … Zeus discovered a way [to punish them] … I will cut them in two … after the division the two parts of man, each desiring his other half … longing to grow into one … when one of the halves died and the other survived, the survivor sought another mate, man or woman as we call them … and clung to that … so ancient is the desire of one another which is implanted in us, reuniting our original nature, making one of two, and healing the state of man … each of us … is always looking for his other half. Suppose Hephaestus … [was] to come to [a] pair who are lying side by side and to say to them … 'do you desire to be wholly one … I am ready to melt you into one and let you grow together, so that being two you shall become one … if you were a single man?' … there is not a man … who when he heard the proposal would deny … that this meeting and melting into one another, this becoming one instead of two, was the very expression of his ancient need … and the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called love." --Plato's Symposium
And this is Saint Paul's remark in the Epistle to the Ephesians:
- "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."
This is not the new flesh but the old flesh.
Orlanda S.H. Lie Hoerenwijsheid: de Middelnederlandse Evangelien vanden spinrocke
- "Als een vrouw bemind wil worden door haar man of minnaar, dan moet ze hem kattenkruid te eten geven. Wie rijk wil worden, moet een mandragorawortel in een witte doek leggen en twee keer per dag ervan eten. Wie een eksteroog op Sint-Jansavond inwrijft met vlierbladeren en vervolgens de bladeren in de grond steekt, zal zien dat het eksteroog zal opdrogen, net als de bladeren. Dit is slechts een kleine greep uit de voorraad wijsheden die een groepje vrouwen tijdens hun spinavonden met elkaar uitwisselen. Deze wijsheden werden opgetekend door een geleerde klerk, die als een soort secretaris dienst deed op een aantal achtereenvolgende spinavonden. Het schriftelijke verslag van deze bijeenkomsten staat bekend als de spinrokevangelies: Les Evangiles des Quenouilles."[19]

When he asked for Vénus dans le cloître, however, she vehemently denied his request and informed him that she did not sell such wicked things." -- "A Monster for Our Times", Matthew Bridge
