  • Human Beings Act Too Late — Again

    xapple.news/ACn4OcaGKQymPAZFI-75NCw —- Just as a philosophical tidbit: Slavoj Zizek says that is the nature of the subject: it always acts to late. This is the symptom of modernity, not a result. Which goes to the question: What does it mean that “we” will have no viable future? We as in every last human being? Or,…

  • The New Christianity: Theological “Strawmen” and The deeper look into the Psychologist who shall not be named.

    I think this will be the last energy I spend on JP. The less energy given toward his name the better, I think. But one last thing… I think we can have little more doubt that JP is supplying a new philosophical ground for Christianity; indeed, I might say that he is a theological philosopher.…

  • Time is Longer That We Think..

    If we think there was a post-modern era, and now we are in a another era, think again. While I have my difficulties with Bryant, he at least appears to engage with ideas and text in a manner that defies ‘temporal eras’. So again we have a further evidence of the need for a bifurcation,…

  • The Modern of Post Modernism; The Anthropocene, Object Orientation and the Possibility of Ground.

      I feel it is time to clear the air; the smoke of post-modernism still seems to linger. It is time we come to terms with what Post-Modernism means, what it meant, what it is. There is no debate in this; any debate that would uphold a sort of PM catch-all has missed the issue.…

  • Redrawing the Partition Whereby Philosophical Discourse Leads to Particular Decisions of Route. 

    It is interesting to me the various places and occasions that move us to consider things and their lighting.  Here is one of those occasions: NPR: Gender and Willingness to Compete. Of course, this is a general overview presented in its brevity for the purpose of the general education of the reasonably intelligent. But nevertheless,…

  • Repost:One and Two: Politics, Governance, and Antagonism; and comment. 

    First the repost:  Perhaps it could be said that politics is that which occurs at that precise moment that we learn to count to Two.  If this were the case, then it would follow that not everything is political.  Everything can become political, but politics is something is something that must be made to be. …

  • The Fallacy of Realism.

    (Da Sein and the Phenomenon, part 2) If we pay attention, then we may notice that we have been deceived. But most do not notice. The distinction, then, is made between these two ‘awarenesses’, these two ‘knowledges’. So we have really three distinctions, three ‘modes’ evidenced in philosophical authorship. One; of the deception. Denial that there…

  • Post-modernism’s Worth. 

    When we are too close to an event, we talk about it as from a distance. That is, what we say is automatically distanced from the event, a maximum distance. The event is thus, by this occurrence, an object. As opposed to our psychotherapeutic model, the closer we are to an event, the more dishonest…

  • The Matter At Hand, Part 2: The Mark of Faith — Object Oriented Philosophy, the ‘New’ Realisms and Post-Modernism.

    “What happened ??” * In the event of reading an essay generated by the PMG, we have to think from the perspective of not knowing that it is a fake, keeping in mind that this program is admittedly old and stunted in its potential, but that it would be possible to write a more complex…

  • The Impossible; Part 5. Existence and the Story of Death to Life.

    Whew! Those Impossible essays really get thick. So perhaps a rejoining to a more approachable speaking. But hold on! The ride is just getting fun. I have been interacting through comments and replies with Dave, who writes the blog called “Big Story Guide”. Our conversation is quite wonderful, so, just as I used our conversation…
