TO LIVE AND THINK LIKE PIGS GILLES CHAT ELET To Livea ndTh ink LikeP igs THE INCITEMENT OF ENVY AND BOREDOM IN MARKET DEMOCRACIES Translated By ROBIN MACKAY URBANO MIC For Patrick Baudet, Copi Damonte, Michel Cressole, Gilles Deleuze, Daniel Guerin, Felix Guattari, Guy Hocquenghem, who always refused to live and think like pigs. My greatest thanks to Dominique Lecourt, for his encouragement and his attentive reading of the manuscript. Truth-andj ustice-require calm, and yet they only belong to the violent. G. BATAILLE Human rights will not make us bless capitalism. A great deal ef innocence or cunning is needed by a philosophy ef communication that claims to restore the society effr iends, or even ef wise men, by forming a universal opinion as 'consensus' able to moralize nations, States, and the market. Human rights say nothing about the immanent modes ef existence efp eople provided with rights. Nor is it only in the extreme situations described by Primo Levi that we experi ence the shame ef being human. We also experience it in insignificant conditions, before the meanness and vulgarity efe xistence that haunts democracies, before the propagation ef these modes ef existence and ef thoughtjor-the-market, and before the values, ideals, and opinions ef our time. The ignominy ef the possibilities ef life that we are Qfef red appearsfr om within. We do notf eel ourselves outside ef our time but continue to undergo shameful compromises with it. This feeling ef shame is one ef philosophy's most powerful motifs. We are not responsiblef or the victims but responsible before them. And there is no way to escape the ignoble but to play the part eft he animal (to growl, burrow, snigger, distort ourselves): thought itself is sometimes closer to an animal that dies than to a living, even democratic, human being.
