I do not mean to revive some corpse of a discussion but for those that are interested and remember my unfinished ramblings on "Margiela is Good", I have recently found some writings which better articulate some thoughts and support the idea.
Firstly, from Badiou's Logiques Des Mondes
I'm not actually sure if that clarifies anything for anyone but at least there's a reference for further reading.
It is essentially what I described earlier in the thread :
"Margiela is Good" (affirmation) = "Good is Margiela" (double negation, or "A is not not B")
Further reading which is more appropriate, puts the above in context:
DESTRUCTION, NEGATION, SUBTRACTION by Badiou
And lastly, some Zizek to top it off: http://www.lacan.com/zizpassion.htm
p.s. I feel I should mention that I did actually take a rest from this topic and did other things with my life in that time and I'm not really a nut job that constantly philosophises the shit out of everything.
Firstly, from Badiou's Logiques Des Mondes
Proposition 14: The reverse of the reverse of the minimal degree is equal to this same degree. Thus . And likewise, the reverse of the reverse of the maximal degree is equal to the maximal degree. Thus ¬ ¬ M = M. In these particular cases, the double negation is equivalent to affirmation. The minimum and the maximum conduct each other, as for the double negation, in a classic way
