Episode 170: Guy Debord's "Society of the Spectacle" (Part Two)
The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast
More on the 1967 Situtationist book. Do we buy Debord's critique? Is any merely partial critique (i.e. no revolution) just more spectacle? Is technology inherently dehumanizing? Don't these passivity/anti-technology arguments even apply to books? Could Debord's model of authenticity catch on in society as a whole?
