More quotes by Sergio Givone

Nothing remains of the philosophy of '68. Simply because that philosophy never existed.

Since ideology prevailed over criticism by a wide margin, it was precisely the authors whom the movement had chosen as teachers, or rather (since teachers were rejected) as guides, who were massacred.

The 1968 movement was neither the subject nor the object of philosophy. It did not produce its own independent thought. Nor was it conceived as a philosophical event.

the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
