Remixing Reality - Art and Literature for the 21st Century
Aug 17, 2014For decades, literary critics have been questioning the relevance of the novel as a literary form, with some going so far as to declare its death.
Kanye West, best known for his music career, is now expanding into philosophy, as revealed in aninterviewwith his interior designer.
But the 'book' Kanye has in mind will find its medium not in printed pages, but in real-time tweets. He's thus far expounded on consciousness and the ownership of ideas—all in the 280 characters, of course.
一系列的推文真的可以构成一本书吗?我们现在是否应该把侃爷视为哲学家?

Well. This is a tough one, inWell. This is a tough one, in the context of these two years, AD "the (new) guy in the White house"(courtesy of Karen Whoopee Goldberg). If a series of tweets can constitute a presidency, then I suppose they might also constitute a book of sorts. But, I submit that on its face, the argument fails. Why? Because I am not a philosopher either. The difference is I actually think about, read, and write philosophy. If I were to tweet these kinds of things, I would, as a practical matter, still only be a person who thinks about, reads and writes philosophy. Mr. West can pretend to be anyone he wishes. People pretend to be what they are not. Every day. Let him go back to school if he wants to do philosophy. Otherwise, he is just a lot of hot air. Like that guy in the White house... And, uh, you won't be seeing any tweets from me, philosophical, or otherwise.
