In addition to resisting certain standard expectations of responding to or developing Kantian thought, Li Zehou further muddles the very definition of philosophy. Borrowing from Alain Badiou, Ady Van den Stock proposes we view Li as an “anti-philosopher:” Someone who takes “a certain form of philosophical contempt for philosophy” and unravels some of the theoretical pretensions of philosophy. For example, although highly prolific and clearly erudite, Li sometimes says he is simply “lazy.” Li wants to return to the “everyday,” to infuse philosophical inquiry with emotions and sensuousness. Van den Stock notes: “Li’s rather irreverent description of his own thought as a ‘philosophy of eating,’ … stresses the dependency of the sublime vestiges of conceptual abstraction on the basic stuff of everyday existence, such as food, clothing, sex, warmth, and shelter.” Van den Stock suggests we can not only learn from Li’s “anti-philosophy philosophy” but learn with it as well. Maybe our attempt to go “beyond comparison” suggests a similar type of “anti-philosophy.”
