Black, white and Eric the Red all over
Eric Cantona is back (in a film called L’Outremanger), and making as much sense as ever. This, from an interview appearing in The Guardian is amply the line of the week:
I’ve read a lot of Socrates on page 3 of the Sun
Top drawer. Even knowing about Cantona, Socrates and The Sun newspaper is not sufficient to drag some meaning out of this. I had a suspicion that there was something about divine ignorance going on here, but it really doesn’t hold water.
What we’re left with is the possibility that Cantona has created a genuinely private language. The later Wittgenstein would be mortified.
