One of the Best Archetypes for Scholars, Academics, and Philosophy Geeks

March 30, 2009

Allow me to introduce to you Bernard Henri-Levy. The courageous causes and seductive style to which he has applied his intellect present a live option for all you geeks, like myself, who are wondering how on earth you can present what you “do” in a way that is attractive and sexy to women. I can’t say much about his writing, though I did leaf through his book on Sartre. The breezy, French writing style doesn’t really appeal to me, but then again, I’m not looking to him for his philosophical content. One of the secrets to his success is his financial freedom, being the son of a rich dad who owns a major timber company, among other things. Getting your lifestyle together is a key component of mastery.

Check out this feature article about him in Vanity Fair magazine.

France’s Prophet Provocateur

Only France could produce a phenomenon like Bernard-Henri Lévy, the dashing 54-year-old writer, philosopher, and activist. As celebrated as any rock star, he speaks uncomfortable truths, wields influence in Bosnia, Afghanistan, and the Middle East, and routinely turns down the Légion d’Honneur.

    He’s a joke in France. This guy pumped a lot from Sartre’s works, not to mention the fact that he’s more well-known for his hairstyle rather than his philosophical concept.

    Don’t be fooled by his marketing strategy (the brilliant french intellectual who’s defending the right to speak openly about any hot and taboo topic with eloquent grace).

    Anyway, big up for your blog, it’s a real pleasure to read so many good articles.

    Hey Madamada,
    Good points. Like I said, I don’t really look to him for philosophical inspiration.

    Still, there’s no reason why you can’t live a BHL lifestyle *and* be a good philosopher/scientist/whatever.

    Great style blog you’ve got over there. A good way for me to practice my French, too.
