tikistitchFrench philosopher Jean Baudrillard dies
PARIS: French philosopher Jean Baudrillard, a social theorist known for his provocative commentaries on consumerism, excess and what he said was the disappearance of reality, died Tuesday, his publishing house said. He was 77.
Baudrillard, a sociologist by training, is perhaps best known for his concepts of "hyperreality" and "simulation."
EuroStitch will be lighting a cigarette in his honor.
