Before Will in Seattle starts crying NSFW, I'd like to say that philosophers will always be boring.

For those who don�t know L�Origine du monde (and, yes, this is not safe for work)

Thank you, Charles! Other blog posters, take note.

It's sad that a work of art can be considered NSFW.

Un homme est un homme, mais une philosophere est une femme.

Look, French is sexist. A friend of mine, Elisabeth Vonarburg, tried to write a non-gendered SciFi novel in French (her native tongue), and it's darned hard.

doesn't make it sexist, just gender-oriented. Oh god, that sounds like such euphamistic political correctness...

Heh. The slog post below, 5 minutes older, has 54 comments to the 7 of this one. And it's about French Canadians and ribs.

My favourite philosopher, and one of my favourite paintings, together in one post with new (to me) info: Lacan OWNED L'Origine du monde???

Charles Mudede, you are the best!
