European wine to British lips. We can’t take it, undiluted. It’s too much for us. Too heady.

Philosophy’s only about the absence of philosophy now. About the impossibility of philosophy – of the conditions of philosophy. It’s about why you can’t do philosophy. Because its conditions have disappeared.
Philosophy belongs to our kind now. It’s been turned over to us.
Pathos is our business in European philosophy.
Pathos is what we do.
Repackagers of European ideas. That’s what we are.
