"Here's the Thing: We Started Out Friends..."
...It was cool, but it was all pretend:
Nasty rumors: Likes young French boys, drives a Porsche, wrote The Political Unconscious on coke.
From Archaeologies of the Future:
"As for ethics, however, it would not seem particularly necessary, after Nietzsche, to argue its regressiveness; but perhaps Nietzche's point is only reinforced by the perpetual necessity of doing so [2]."
"[2] Terry Eagleton objects to this position (see After Theory); but rather than engaging in debates about "human nature," I would prefer to point to the disastrous results of ethical politics, such as those of the Second International (or even the American New Left in the 1960s)."
Nasty rumor: Owns more houses than the Queen.
From Eagleton's review of Archaeologies of the Future:
"Jameson is notoriously averse to moral thought, and vents his hostility to it at one point in this book. Ethics, in his opinion, is a simplistic opposition of good and evil, one which stands in for historical and political investigation. He thus shares George W. Bush's view of ethics, the only difference between the Marxist and the neo-conservative on this score being that Bush approves of such simple-minded oppositions whereas Jameson does not."
