Cool Memories 1-2 (1980-1990)

In Cool Memories, Baudrillard, one of the most striking writers of contemporary French philosophy, shares with the reader the notes he kept for himself between 1980 and 1990, revealing that perceiving life is possible with the effort of feeling it at his fingertips. Jean Baudrillard, whose books we have previously published called America, The Transparency of Evil, The Perfect Murder and The Consumer Society, questions and scrutinizes those who live by their beliefs with this book, while glorifying those who can make room for others by ignoring themselves.

He offers an unusual interpretation of history with his intense, venomous observations. It condemns intellectualism as well as all social, black structures. Nature, with all its rituals, elevates death to the level of perfection; He believes that thought consists of a chain of paradoxes. He criticizes philosophies that remain stuck in concepts and stray beyond life. He wants to perceive all moments of life to the fullest and does not compromise on exclusivity while doing this.

According to Baudrillard, our world is being dragged into destruction in order to create its own realities; What interests him is the story of this extinction. According to him, writing is not a form of self-expression but a passion for nothingness; Because writing changes the language and destroys the meaning it creates. Baudrillard believes that the only vital intensity we have left is seduction. He is in awe of the woman who surprises him with her beauty; Knowing that he will be deeply wounded when he loses...

Baudrillard's Cool Memories is a simple and magnificent testimony, a mirror, about the last twenty years of our civilization, which is in its last days. It is as if it invites us to perceive everything that is happening around us with all our senses. For those who want to feel life at their fingertips...
