Nice. I was just thinking about the compatibility of Deleuzes philosophy with that of Hegel, as some modern readings suggest to question the teleology and dialektische Aufhebung part. What unites them is the emphasis on process, immanent difference (universal tensions) and the inevitable confrontation of differing things. But then again, there isnt much of the original Hegel left.
Hello steven! Long time listener here. I want you to know i really value your work. Your an excellent communicator and teacher and your only bias seems to be towards greater knowledge and understanding. I love how you started at the beginging or recorded philosophy and try to follow its evolution chronologically. So i was watching a video about gods essences vs energys and how it compares to the allegory of the cave and i realized theres a whole untapped wealth of knowledge there. The saints and scholars and monks of the orthodox traditions were well aware of secular philosophy and im pretty sure have been using Socratic debate to refine religion for 2000ish years. Eastern orthodox atleast, they seem to have kept the tradition unbroken. So im planning on going through the anthology of the saints chronologically and see whats interesting in there. Im still reading through the bible and i guess ill pick up trying to find writing from the next gen of church leaders after that. Im a slow reader though. I didnt know if this would interest you or other people. I am nobody and you owe me absolutely nothing but i thought it would be neat, and benificial to me and mabey others, and hopfully interesting to you if you mabey did like a mini series or weave some episodes into your main channel on the subject. Idk if thats a big ask or not. I was hoping not cause i imagine you just reading and demoloshing 1000s of pages of thoughts for breakfast, like mabey it would be fun? I love thinking, really struggle with reading though. I look forward to your future episodes regardless of the content. I hope you are enjoying your life. God bless. Ps.th-cam.com/video/WbbOEnWULEQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XTVW7b4OYY8z1c-W th-cam.com/video/WbbOEnWULEQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XTVW7b4OYY8z1c-W Thats the video i refenced. Im sure its boring to you but i mentioned it so im linking it.
We want some videos on Philosopher Jason Reza Jorjani!! The point of departure for his project is, in Philosophy, Nietzsche and Heidegger, in Politics, Schmitt and Huntington, and in Paranormal Studies the likes of Jacques Vallee and Stephen Braude. Fascinating and controversial stuff (as it should be).
So there would be a constant back and forth between the definition of an object caused by the network of negations, the determination by negation, by all the things it is not; and the practical fluctuation of its use, the ever changing definition made by "time", considering time as the mental snapshot society can do of a certain thing. We wouldnt be able to perceive time if the objects in space didnt move at all, if time is that snapshot, and things dont move at all, we wouldnt perceive any change at all, so no time passing either. If reality is really just all of us playing a puzzle together, we will inevitably reach the point where we start just taking other's pieces from where they were placed and using it in another place to try to solve the perpetual problem of the puzzle never being a real nor complete picture of reality. We could agree as a society with the placement of many but we would invariably need to start re adjusting them so we can start anew or create new patterns that helps us advance in a certain set of conditions in time. The constant seeking of dialectical contradiction is but us taking setting the pieces of the puzzle in a way that fits and aligns the image for us, yet inevitably leave an insurmountable gap somewhere in the puzzle, a gap others will identify as a problem eventually and inexorably because things would reach a standstill and time would stop to pass if people just accepted a particular placement of the pieces and basically completely stopped doing absolutely anything. The slowing down of cultural time mark fisher talks about, i think its but society fighting for an decreasing number of free pieces to reconfigurate , we become bored, depressed in a place that seems virtually timeless as we cannot indulge into moving pieces at all, so we cannot solve the contradictions that are present in a puzzle with infinite pieces, infinite shapes and colors, that are set in place and determined by the ever-watchful eye of certain political and social forces outside of individual control. The dialectical master-slave dichotomy is never an ever-pressing problem if we have a multiplicity of spheres which we can contrast it with, in other words, if we can go somewhere else and be ourselves or move and reconfigurate the placement of some of the puzzle pieces, yet its ominous force is present and reinforced not by reality as it is but as our perception of reality fluctuates and becomes determined only by its sociological determination of the self. The contradictions and negations present in any given dialectical juxtaposition are only ever fully present if the forces making those things collide are in place, but not as something that pushes us towards conflict, but as distinct conflicts that have magnetism over us, and we go towards the one that catches our eye more strongly as we think we have the tools or puzzle piece to solve it.
Psychoanalyst: “Your criticisms of psychoanalysis point to a rigid and dogmatic mind. One that is unable to process ideas that fall outside the bounds of your own books and theories. Deleuze: "C'est l'hôpital qui se moque de la charité."
9:30 the opposite of this though would be if someone wrote a poem and claimed it was creative. They said “look everyone I wrote a poem, it is the first poem that doesn’t have any words and is all pictures and acting!” Everyone would say, well yes it’s different but it’s not creative as the bounds of the concept allow it to be creative. It’s the bounds themselves that allow it to be creative. Also I think non contradiction is important and can be lost if there are no bounds to terms. The words essentially become meaningless. It would be like saying “I drove a car to work today” and the person said “no you didn’t you stayed at home eating cheetos” and the person responds “well by drove I meant sit, I’m so creative I actually think that driving can include not moving and not being in a car, and by work I meant sitting down eating cheetos, I’m so free minded that I think that working can mean not making money scrolling on tik tok”
I was thinking something similar, I've read psychology research that suggested that without constraint, most people are uncreative. Rules make good servants and bad masters.
@@heorieob Very true! The power of the creative product is relative to the perceived constraints beforehand! What would seem very creative would be someone making a boat out of only bottles, this would not seem creative if they had access to every type of material.
I love listening to your podcast, it gives me a lot to talk about with my students. Recent episodes have left me wondering why it took Western philosophers so long to come back to ideas that Taoism expressed a long time ago. Perhaps my view of Taoism is overly idealistic, so I'm curious if there are any criticisms of Taoism that have been made.
Yes!!! You mentioned long ago a possible video on Wittgenstein and Heidegger (i think??) That would be so cool!! I also am highly interested in anti-humanist anarchism. Thank you for work!
I haven't read all of Deleuze's translated work, however, his _Desert Islands_ is pretty tame. Also, his interviews/ dialogues with Claire Parnet conducted while Claire was still a student of philosophy are super cool as well. Around here, the work that is often cited and bantered about the most is his short essay _Postscript on the Societies of Control_ It is widely available and a pretty provocative piece. One could read it in five minutes but it is deceptive in it's density. I read _Anti-Oedipus_ and _A Thousand Plateaus_ and I wouldn't recommend starting with either one of those texts unless your very life was on the line or something like that. No kidding. His academic published opus would require entrenchment in the field before it could be digested and not many have that kind of time or familiarity. Specialized stuff. Yet it has been purported that his work is cited in the research of a Nobel Prize winner in biology. Maybe, Deleuze's _Negotiations_ (1993) would be the most accessible work toward approaching him for the nonreader of Deleuze? I don't know the Deleuze canon proper. I was kinda pushed into his work during a period of high conflict and I happen to appreciate Deleuze a bunch. He was a very generous thinker and the English translations seem really well cared-for. good luck to you--be well
@@davidrivera79 Legit. Anyone wanting to delve into Deleuze or any work West puts on the table is a friend of mine. Oh, btw, Deleuze's biographies on 'thinkers' are all well received biographies. Deleuze did a bunch of great writing. What's more, West has a whole series on concepts Deleuze wrote on. If you goto the home page and scroll down you'll find upwards of four or five episodes West devoted to Deleuze. Deleuze is cool af. Be well. Deleuze is a trip. Cheers--
@@davidrivera79 Seriously, read Nietzsche from the start, when he was young and had a huge crush on Wagner's wife. _The Birth of Tragedy_ onward... proceed in order, seriously... it is a rich literary experience. Once his headaches got bad he jumped onto the aphoristic style we know him for and the work goes to new dizzying heights on the back of Montaigne's stylistic legacy. Necessity can be advantageous for all of us. Nietzsche is rad. For laughs, Nietzsche is never funnier than he is in his posthumously published _Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks_ that tiny volume is hilarious. I would suggest reading that whenever. It is like a book of jokes and quips. Nietzsche had a great sense of humor that I think is all too often overlooked.
But ... OMG ... who was more "reactive" than Nietzsche himself? Did nothing more than put forth an elegantly written analysis and critique (no original philosophical theory) ... and ... did not even live his own life according to the paragons he admired! (Yet another in a looonnnggg line of effete academicians 🤦🏻♀️.)
If only we could have gotten these two greats together in one room!
Your series on Deleuze has been so good
Awesome Sunday now!
I believe I speak on behalf of everyone here when I say yes, we would definitely like to hear an episode on Heidegger's critique of Nietzsche 🍻

Amazing! Now I want to read Deleuze
Yes!!! You mentioned long ago a possible video on Wittgenstein and Heidegger (i think??) That would be so cool!! I also am highly interested in anti-humanist anarchism. Thank you for work!
Awesome episode!! Wow.
What about "trying" to look at Nietzsche (and yourself) as Deleuze's machines with in machines?
Im guessing you said that in a different way in there somewhere but hoping to be reaffirmed.
Great stuff.
Thank you ... (Courtesy? A long-lost art.)
Can we please do question concerning technology
What about AI art?
This probably fucking slaps
What works of Deleuze would you recommend for someone who’s never read any of his work?
