I fear it might be too late for the so-called west…….. especially in the cesspool of the depravity of US capitalism; off the backs and the blood of the blacks brought here in chains, and the decimation of the indigenous populations. Fanon has almost never been more precient. Thank you Professor Gordon. Miss Jenny

it truly is violence to have to sit and listen to idealogically driven halfwits (who think of themselves as philosophers, academics and inteligentsia in general) desperately trying to reinvent the wheel by (sloppy, lets be real) covert indoctrination with failed ideologies.

Listening in Chile. I'm 78 and old age, for me, means I walk more slowly. I have to make an effort to cross the street while there's a green light. I fear falling. Young people even with the best intentions, don't understand what it's like to be old. Like the woman who offered me her seat in the subway and I explained to her that it's more an effort for me to sit down and stand up again than it is for me to stay on my feet. That physical weakness changes everything: getting dressed in the morning is a long process. I have to avoid crowds, think about every step when I go down the subway stairs, etc. Thanks for doing this dialogue. We old people grow more courteous in general.

Very interesting. Terrible format. Would have prefered it to be a back and forth conversation.

It's exciting to know this fascinating woman. I had not read her. I will read Chaos Bound and am looking forward to her new book. X Machina cometh

Such fun topics! Had a good time listen to this conversation.

This is interesting. There's a rarely mentioned disconnect between how Western psychology implements mindfulness (mindfulness movement) and how Buddhism practices mindfulness. There are some good articles on the subject so I won't dive off the deep end with details. But Buddhism, in general, with the exception of some sects, implicitly denies the possibility or existence of meta-cognition. 'Observing the observer' was an idea that the Buddha was arguing against from the very get-go (e.g., you can't think about a thought because 'thinking about a thought' is simply another thought). It's one of the main parts of the no-self/no soul teachings. Western psychology misses that part and it has caused some (serious) issues. Mindfulness can lead to the dissolution of the self and a radical shift in perspective. What some people call an 'ego-death' can be really dangerous and earth-shattering depending on who you are and what your belief system is. I think Weil definitely traversed some of those steep landscapes.

I want a white philosopher in black ski please. amazing

Excellent

Thanks to Anthony Morgan and the Philosopher for having me on to talk ideology with Oliver

We all are the history of mankind. Thank you, gentlemen, and especially Dr. Lewis Gorden 's of scintillating freshness of Frantz Omar Fanon's books of excellence for the interconnectivity we humans may become of awareness of one another with new insights. A rainbow of colors one sees and hears as we dance to the musicality from the adventures of the past, with languages mixing of orators of poetry. Hopefully, instead of making weapons of war, the use of the wrong side of the brain, therefore more disorders mentally behooves the breakdown of societies into black and white. What is book knowledge? What is the difference between the intellect and the mind? What creates chaos and violence, and religious divisions for centuries? What is "ego"? The next question is who are "we"? What is psychological time? I would love to hear the exchange of Dr. Lewis Gordon with Dr. Iain McGilchrist. Alongside with the Krishnamurti Foundation teachers. I strongly believe we need all to benefit and enlarge our world which begins with me. 🙏❤️🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵🎶

I found my own interpretation of the blond beast passage to be less about aryans and more about the noble spirit of the lion that exists in multiple cultures. Nietzsche mentions (directly after that sentence) Asian and North African cultures that embodied such a spirit. Although if we are to reference the entire corpus of his works, the lion cannot be the end but rather the "yes!" saying child.

I understand Simone's attention to be not losing yourself but an emptying of self. Creating a void a 'space for Grace'

Thank you so sharing such deep personal thoughts. 👏

"promosm"

No one likes you.

Ruins of authority and tradition indeed. All is allowed! Do anything you want! What could possibly go wrong?? Who needs authority and tradition? Oh I don’t know - maybe a functioning society?

Omg this is so lovely

Who doesn't want "care, attention and admiration"? What a bunch of antihuman nonsense. From a couple privileged white women no less; the most privileged creatures in the history of all mankind!

So sad spinoza died young at 44 years old..failing to preserve his conatus and due to his failure to gain knowlege of cause and effect that glass dust would ruin his lung...caute..

Steven Nadler gives us much information about Spinoza’s philosophy; however more clarity is needed. As a private teacher and student of Spinoza’s Ethics, I understand that free will is an illusion and that the laws of necessity and self-preservation govern and direct all of existence. Also, intuition is required to understand his Ethics, reason alone will not help you. His philosophy is to be lived and understood; otherwise, it becomes abstract and only entertaining.

Prof Curry speaks what happens in my clinical practice on a daily basis…shame that he does not as many Anglophon philosophers engage with continental critical philosophy after the Shoa understood as racism outside the American black-white frame

Great

Incredible

this is modern academia from someone who speaks on Black American perspective on race which is different from an African or Caribbean Black experience.

I’ve had this creeping intuition for at least a couple of decades… Great work, we all need to get to the empirical basis of this, and seek angles for integration. I will definitely look into the sources mentioned - again deepest thanks!

😍🌹

Thank you for this great talk. One has to hear several times to reach the depth that Dr. Gordon offers while expanding on Fanon's work about being human, the other, living, violence, power, mythopoetic, belonging, home, freedom, humanity, etc. I am amazed at how much this talk tells us about Israel's occupation and genocide: "What colonialism does, is to create homelessness for the people.....home is to which you belong, what gives people the freedom for possibilities to live..." and this living is humanity as it allows us to have our multidimensionality, freedom, justice, and dignity.

Delightful conversation!

so it's like anarchism but not quite as good?

It was an excellent. I really like it.

Shame I cannot listen because vocal fry.

🎯

Brilliant conversation. Thanks very much for sharing!

This was an exciting exchange for us non-philosophers to witness esp about the value of working outside the discipline. I’m looking forward to reading The Visionaries when it comes out in pback in the UK. We seem to have become hijacked by personal and social psychology and neuroscience when we consider how to think constructively about life. The silos between academic disciplines seem like dead ends and like so many other systems that seem on their last legs, the future will be more integrated, convergent and pluralistic.

Liberalism needs reforms desperately.

Great conversation by two authors of their Great important insightful Books.

many thanks for doing this interview, thank you both! And for making this recording available for those of us who cannot make it. Greatly enjoyed this interview. I'll read Hu-ping's book again because after watching this, I'm sure I'll gain deeper insight when re-reading.

Okay. But

We don’t “decide” to care. What we decide has everything to do with our determinants. How we grew up and what we’ve lived.

I just want to hear about her ideas on “Intimations of Christianity among the Ancient Greeks”. Anyone ever talk about that book?

Thank you for the Grace. This is Unfalsifiable. And always will be.

Wonderful, thank you for posting

A very interesting approach to exploring and understanding evolution of one's identity and philosophy towards life in the early years of one's professional career. Focussing on the common context in the turbulent decade from 1933-43, which all four of these non academic thinkers and writers shared with each other. Thank you.

Thank you for this!
