but isnt his use of poets refer to the context of anyone in the production of literature??? i might be wrong tho
-
No, def. not. He used to go to plays with friends (socrates and all). The treatise on love (Diotima) in Symposium begins with this scene where all the cool philosophical kids returning from a play which has excited them, they are drinking and talking about love until morning.

Philosophers vs. comedians is a more lasting opposition. Thankfully, you're all hybrids

Comedians are the best. If I weren't a philosopher, I could be a comedian. But philosophy already gives you a lot of comedy hence the competition.

For all his silliness, Badiou is still sometimes a good philosopher, when he is a good Platonist. He has an essay called The Pornographic Age all about Plato and the playwrights. I quite like it
