Philosopher-on-Philosopher

Arthur Schopenhauer on Georg Hegel
“Hegel, installed from above, by the powers that be, as the certified Great Philosopher, was a flat-headed, insipid, nauseating, illiterate charlatan who reached the pinnacle of audacity in scribbling together and dishing up the craziest mystifying nonsense.” 

Ludwig Wittgenstein on Bertrand Russell “Russell’s books should be bound in two colors, those dealing with mathematical logic in red – and all students of philosophy should read them; those dealing with ethics and politics in blue – and no one should be allowed to read them.”

Pasolini's Cruel Masterpiece

Prior to "Salò," Pasolini had made successive visionary, art-house-friendly, sexually graphic adaptations of Boccaccio's "Decameron," Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," and the Arabic folk-tale compendium "The Arabian Nights," all envisioned as a trio called "Trilogy of Life." But by the middle of the "Me Decade," the director was increasingly appalled by what he saw as a covert war on personal freedoms waged by a manipulative consumerist aesthetic whose commoditizing of sexuality was having a toxic cultural effect on Europe. Adapting de Sade's book became the artistic means to explore the enduring human capacity to rationalize the totalitarianism of unchecked greed.
