SNIP:
When France's most dashing philosopher took aim at Immanuel Kant in his latest book, calling him "raving mad" and a "fake", his observations were greeted with the usual adulation. To support his attack, Bernard-Henri Lévy - a showman-penseur known simply by his initials, BHL - cited the little-known 20th-century thinker Jean-Baptiste Botul. There was one problem: Botul was invented by a journalist in 1999 as an elaborate joke, and BHL has become the laughing stock of the Left Bank. Bernard-Henri Lévy a laughing stock for quoting fictional philosopher |

In his television interview last night he called philosophy a combat sport, insisting: "It's the role of the philosopher to land blows."
So what do I dear? ...nitrous oxide and vengeful exultation have been known to bring it forth... |
