Always interested in Philosophers and this post is interesting. So which one did get hit by that laundry van?

Thanks @jvalentine! The mystery death is Roland Barthes. The guy was pretty unlucky with his health. He had tuberculosis when he was young, spent years in isolation in a sanitorium, then spent 10 years completing his MA while fighting for his health, then got hit by a van. Granted, he did write a bunch of books and articles in between.
If you like philosophy and philosophers have a look at my other posts, I'm trying to do a small comment on a philosophy quote a day you might find interesting (haven't succeeded on the 'every day' bit so far haha, but there's more to come!)

I had heard of Roland Barthes but didn't know much about him. Interesting. I will look at your posts as I am very interested in philosophy. Thank you pv-p
