Philosophe Sans Oeuvre: Radical Philosophy at Work
http://philosophersansoeuvre.blogspot.com/2010/05/philosophy-students-at-middlesex-are.html
Tuesday, 4 May 2010. Radical Philosophy at Work. Philosophy students at Middlesex are currently occupying their campus in protest over the planned closure of the department. The Middlesex administration claims to be closing the department down on the grounds that it's no longer economically viable, but this is far from true, as is clearly proven on the 'Save Middlesex Philosophy' FAQ. My guess is that it's based on three factors:. Better that they teach more 'vocationally-oriented' courses for the less a...

We Have Never Been Blogging: Meillassoux’s Motivation and the Pure Space of Speculation
http://wehaveneverbeenblogging.blogspot.com/2010/03/meillassouxs-motivation-and-pure-space.html
We Have Never Been Blogging. Where we discuss Bruno Latour and others. Thursday, March 18, 2010. Meillassoux’s Motivation and the Pure Space of Speculation. Posted by Paul J. Ennis. This is just a quick post regarding a problem that Mike raises of Meillassoux’s motivation and “what Meillassoux’s derailing has to do with politics.”. I wonder though: is it possible to actualize this depoliticization? Even without claiming that philosophy is necessarily political, I would say that philosophy in itself is ei...

Meillassoux and Dialetheism Part II: Contradiction and Realism →. Meillassoux and Dialetheism Part I: On Some Projected Demonstrations. In my previous post. I mentioned that the dialetheism proffered by Graham Priest should be of concern to the Meillassouxian position. I want to continue exploring this angle in a few posts, bear in mind that while I will attempt to draw some radical conclusions, they should be considered as transcissions rather than as finished products.). After taking into account parac...

We Have Never Been Blogging: Welcome to this correlationist house!
http://wehaveneverbeenblogging.blogspot.com/2010/03/welcome-to-this-correlationist-house.html
We Have Never Been Blogging. Where we discuss Bruno Latour and others. Monday, March 15, 2010. Welcome to this correlationist house! But in order to do that, we need something like a general narrative that shows why the Kantian problem is such a problem all of a sudden- one that could be brought into relation to Latour but which remains a little outside his own way of talking about his problem. This is what Meillassoux gives us, and does so compellingly. Prince of Networks,. Parts of Meillassoux's narrat...

u n d e r v e r s e: Stop, In The Name Of Speech!
http://underverse.blogspot.com/2015/01/stop-in-name-of-speech.html
Saturday, January 10, 2015. Stop, In The Name Of Speech! On the other end of spectrum, to those most deeply under the spell of the law-and-order myth, such as NYPD Union President Patrick Lynch, criticism of the police constitutes not merely an endorsement of police murder, but an actual cause. There are other myths. The execution last week in Paris of 12 people in the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Showing the same reticence to declare "Je Suis Charlie Hebdo" as we might have been to d...

Tuesday, July 29, 2014. On Ethnic Cleansing In Gaza (A Pipe Dream). Little pocket epiphanies begin to emerge among those minds minimally prepared by acts of ordinary kindness and small sacrifice, and when they do, they make that popcorn-popper lip-smacking sound from the Seinfeld theme. Seinfeld himself is awakened to the true nature of suffering, which is such an extraordinary event, all the network and cable news desk devote the full evening broadcast to covering it. The notion spreads. Soon, Greek...
