Piše Majda Travnik Vode, bere Igor Velše. Milan Knep, trenutno tajnik Škofijskega katehetskega urada pri ljubljanski nadškofiji, je leta 2020 po več kot štiridesetih letih raznovrstnega duhovniškega delovanja in potem ko je svoja razmišljanja objavljal v različnih medijih – tudi v oddaji Duhovna misel na Prvem programu Radia Slovenija – izdal knjižni prvenec Eseji o križu letos pa so jim sledili še Eseji o vstajenju. Kot v spremni besedi piše Tadej Rifel, sta po avtorjevih besedah kljub nekajletnemu časovnemu razmiku »zbirki dopolnjujoči, kajti krščansko oznanilo je celota le, če se križ nadaljuje z vstajenjem.« Poleg vsebine, ki jo avtor umešča nekoliko stran od prevladujočega družbenega in kulturnega diskurza, ki ga po njegovem mnenju zaznamujeta odsotnost metafizičnega in tragični svetovni nazor, je zanimivo tudi formalno ozadje dvainpetdesetih esejev v zbirki, ki jih je avtor večinoma izpeljal iz specifične žanrske oblike – katoliške pridige ali homilije. Za prvo in hkrati najznamenitejšo pridigo v zgodovini velja Jezusov govor na gori blizu Galilejskega jezera, vendar gre tudi sicer za zelo staro polliterarno obliko, v katero je pravzaprav že od začetka vtisnjen esejistični format – kljub temu, da je pridiga namenjena širšemu občinstvu, esej pa velja za poudarjeno intimno oziroma zasebno zvrst. Pridiga je tudi drugi, najbolj znani brižinski spomenik (z znamenitim začetkom: Če bi naš ded ne grešil…), ki velja za izvrsten primer srednjeveške retorike. V Evropi pa so najbrž najbolj prepoznavne in še danes pomembne pridige Mojstra Eckharta s konca 13. in začetka 14. stoletja, ki se prav tako zlahka berejo kot vrhunski eseji. Knepovi Eseji o vstajenju vznikajo iz volje po preseganju običajnega tragičnega obzorja pričakovanja, kamor se po avtorjevih besedah vpisuje velika večina novoveške in sodobne umetnosti, filozofije in kulture – in sicer z obratom v krščansko oziroma biblično izročilo. Kot lahko opazujemo, je krščanstvo tako v Evropi kot pri nas že dolgo v zatonu, pri čemer ne gre samo za afere, ki usodno pretresajo cerkvene strukture, ampak – kot lahko na primer beremo v pred kratkim izdanem brezkompromisnem, razgaljajočem eseju Chantal Delsol –, za konec krščanske civilizacije kot take. Kljub vtisu skorajšnjega pogorišča pa lahko vidimo tudi, da v krščanstvu še vedno vztraja veliko vernikov in duhovnikov ¬– morda tudi zaradi Jezusove obljube, da bo s svojo Cerkvijo ostal do konca sveta. Tako tudi Knep, čeprav si ne zatiska oči pred stvarnostjo, v svoja nazorsko, duhovno, psihološko in filozofsko izjemno široko zarisana besedila ne pripušča malodušja. Njegovi eseji – kratki, a od začetka do konca izpeljani v žlahtni filozofski maniri in retorično brezhibni – odpirajo probleme in jih s pomočjo Svetega pisma dialektično razrešujejo in zapirajo, pri čemer ima vselej zadnjo besedo nekaj, kar je že zdavnaj izginilo iz moderne filozofije – duh oziroma presežno. Čeprav je bila, kot v enem svojih zadnjih intervjujev skorajda presenečeno ugotavlja Jürgen Habermas, filozofija dolgo skoraj istovetna s teologijo, se je ta povezava že davno izgubila – morda je bila ravno ta metamorfoza eden od zgodnjih znanilcev zatona krščanske civilizacije. In na čem sloni sodobna filozofija, če se ne sprašuje več o absolutni resnici, biti, poslednjih rečeh, telosu? Alain Badiou v spisu Manifest za filozofijo iz leta 1989, razbere in nato brez sence dvoma – kot rečeno, gre za manifest –, ugotovi, da je sodobna filozofija pogojena s štirimi »generičnimi postopki resnice«: politiko, znanostjo, umetnostjo in ljubeznijo. Čeprav zadnji pojem, ljubezen, na videz dopušča večsmerne interpretacije, med njimi na nobeni instanci ni predvidena konkretna transcendenca, kakršno je nekdaj predstavljal krščanski Bog. Zaradi tega in neštevilnih drugih podobnih dogodkov se zdi krščanska filozofija stvar preteklosti. Vendar nas ravno besedila, kakršna so Knepovi eseji, drobna, a prepričana, argumentirana in nagovarjajoča, prisilijo, da se vprašamo, ali je res tako? Knep, ki se je v duhovniški karieri največ ukvarjal z mladinsko in zakonsko pastoralo, namreč s pomočjo svojih svetopisemskih navdihovalcev, prerokov Izaija, Jeremija, Siraha in apostolov Pavla, Janeza in Jezusa, vsakič znova ubesedi katerega od ključnih problemov zdajšnjosti; bodisi smrt in naš odnos do nje, odmiranje življenjskega smisla, vzgojo otrok in medgeneracijske odnose bodisi družbeno stvarnost. Osvetljuje jih iz perspektive slehernika, v katerega se vsakič znova postavi, nato pa tematiko sistematično razčleni in obdela iz vseh običajnih zornih kotov – le da na koncu iz široko razgrnjenih aporij ne izide kot tragični poraženec, ampak kot zmagovalec. Njegova besedila tako res postanejo eseji o vstajenju – seveda le, če sprejmemo njihovo krščansko logiko. To, kar Knepu daje odločilno prednost, je namreč za marsikoga nezamisljivo, saj avtor svoje razpravljanje vsakič znova subtilno privede do točke nič oziroma do točke, kjer je potrebna totalna odpoved razumu in predaja štafete duhu. Ravno tu je kleč: potem ko je ob nekem problemu v razpravo kompetentno pritegnil in obdelal na primer Hegla, Spinozo, Fichteja, Platona ali katerega od principov sodobne psihologije ali psihoterapije, na koncu vso skrbno predstavljeno argumentacijo izpusti in se vrže v prazno, saj iskreno verjame, da bo tako storil največ in najhitreje. Da je predaja duhu kraljevska pot do rešitve. Čeprav je zbirka Eseji o vstajenju kristocentrična in je njeno gravitacijsko jedro Kristusovo odrešenjsko poslanstvo, se poleg Kristusa avtorjev največji zgled zdi apostol Pavel s svojim neutrudnim evangelizatorskim žarom. Pravzaprav so katoliški duhovniki danes v podobnem položaju, kot je bil nekoč Pavel: Kristusa oznanjajo v skorajda povsem poganskem svetu. S svojimi esejističnimi razmišljanji Milan Knep to počne samozavestno in zavezujoče.

Paulus regnes ofte som den første teolog. Samtidig ser mange ham som en slags skurk som ødela Jesu gode budskap. De siste tiåra har mennesker langt utenfor kirke og religion fattet interesse for den store apostelen og nytestamentlige brevskriveren. Er han kanskje ikke skurk likevel? Og er det ok å lese Paulus helt ukristelig?Gjest i podkasten Dokka er Ole Jakob Løland, professor i KRLE ved Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge. Han er teolog og forfatter, og har blant annet skrevet boka En apostel for ateister. Paulus i moderne filosofi. Tenkere som refereres i episoden: Paulus, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben, Jacob Taubes, Alain Badiou, Julia Kristeva, Slavoj Zizek, Krister Stendahl.

summary of Alain Badiou's book In Praise of Love.

2011 witnessed a resurgence of protest movements from the Movement of the Squares, Occupy Wall Street, to the Arab Spring. These events propelled Marxist intellectuals Slavoj Žižek and Alain Badiou into the limelight, resulting in a surge in their popularity. But was the precondition of their popularity based on the absence of anti-imperialism in their work? In this study group, we examine Losurdo's criticism of Žižek and Badiou regarding how they understand existing state socialism, how they theorize liberation, freedom and justice. We debrief on the text and we discuss how Western Marxism can be reborn.

Nesse episódio, Gabriel Carvalho, Natan Oliveira e Pietro Moresco recebem Gabriel Tupinambá para falar sobre a obra de Alain Badiou e sua contribuição política para o marxismo.

Nesse episódio, Gabriel Carvalho, Natan Oliveira e Pietro Moresco recebem Gabriel Tupinambá para falar sobre a obra de Alain Badiou, a partir do prisma da filosofia.

Here's a gem from our archive, a recording with Jonathan Impett — Director of Research at the Orpheus Instituut. Impett has had a MAJOR impact on Roberto and Marek, a kind of intellectual godfather to the two of us. His staggering breadth of knowledge continues to blow our minds. You can find more about Impett's work here. A number of references from the discussion include: Impett's chapter in Choreomata is awesome. Buy our book! :) Impett references Alexander Nagel and Chris Wood's Anachronic Renaissance an unbelievably ambitious tome that delves into the situatedness of art both inside and outside of the Renaissance.A few California references -- Jonathan tags in Swarm and references the composer Brian Ferneyhough. We're all Reza Negarestani fans here -- for more about computational interactionism, check out Reza's epsiode of the pod, Anil Bawa-Cavia's episode of the pod, and Reza's absolutely mondo Intelligence and Spirit.At the time of the interview, Matteo Pasquinelli's influential The Eye of the Master had not yet been released and is referenced as an upcoming release.For more information on the "waste product" -- Alain Badiou's Immanence of Truths is actually pretty forthcoming in this respect. Jonathan also references After Sound, a very timely read by G. Douglas Barrett.

Majorly excited to have Patricia Reed on the pod. This is a beefy episode! If I was looking for a major reset in my relationship to the world around me, I'd start here.Here's a list of the references we make throughout the interview:Here's that e-flux diagram I talk about in the intro, and here's a lecture in which she discusses this diagram. Here's the Diagramming the Common piece, which is older but I really like it. Here's a must-read interview with Denise Ferreira da Silva where the concept of "the end of the world as we know it" is postulated.When Patricia Reed refers to the "logics of worlds" in a Badiousian sense, she's referring to Alain Badiou's work on truth and world. Unless you're down for a real rabbithole, you're likely good with Reed's description here.Reed references Margaret Morrison and the Black-Scholes model in the context of finance.Reed references Sylvia Wynter's work consistently, specifically her discussion of humanism and of Frantz Fanon.Check out Beth Coleman's work on Octavia Butler AI, as well as da Silva's "Unpayable Debt" (inspired by Butler's Kindred) -- and if you somehow haven't read the Lilith's Brood Trilogy after we discussed it with Luciana Parisi, go read it (aka Xenogenesis). It's like idk the most important work of fiction in the last 50 years idk!!!Ofc big shoutouts as always Anil Bawa-Cavia -- this is the book we discuss toward the end of the episode.If you aren't aware of Laboria Cuboniks and the XFM, stop listening and read it!!!

In Marx's Literary Style, the Venezuelan poet and philosopher Ludovico Silva argues that much of the confusion around Marx's work results from a failure to understand his literary mode of expression. Through meticulous readings of key passages in Marx's oeuvre, Silva isolates the key elements of his style: his search for an “architectonic” unity at the level of the text, his capacity to express himself dialectically at the level of the sentence, and, above all, his great gift for metaphor. Silva's unique sensitivity to Marx's literary choices allows him to illuminate a number of terms that have been persistently, and fatefully, misunderstood by many of Marx's most influential readers, including alienation, reflection, and base and superstructure. At the heart of Silva's book is his contention that we we cannot hope to understand Marx if we treat him as a scientist, a philosopher, or a literary writer, when he was in fact all three at once. Originally published in 1971, this is a key work by one of the most important Latin American Marxists of the twentieth century. This edition, which marks the first appearance of one of Silva's works in English, features an introduction by Alberto Toscano. Alberto Toscano is an Italian cultural critic, social theorist, philosopher, and translator. He has translated the work of Alain Badiou, including Badiou's The Century and Logics of Worlds. He served as both editor and translator of Badiou's Theoretical Writings and On Beckett Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel. Twitter.

This one is deep so see tons of explanatory resources below. The philosophy talk turns to political talk (easier to grok) after about 15 minutes, but the philosophical context adds a lot of richness to the latter conversation. Patricia MacCormack is driving productive tension between philosophy and political action. Her Ahuman Manifesto is strongly recommended, even to those who may take issue with it in principle (anti-natalism! anti-idpol! anti-human!), because it makes a forceful argument for a politics based in empathy and care as applied to everyone and every thing. Core concepts you might not be familiar with:Posthumanism — if you recall, a kind of running theme of the podcast is "posthumanism is kinda sus.” As a philosophical stance, it means an expansion of categories of agency and vitality, thought and creativity, to forces beyond the mere human. Rosi Braidotti (Patricia MacCormack's PhD advisor) was one of the first major forces in this field, and Patricia has written extensively on it as well (see her Posthuman Ethics). In practice, of course, posthumanism gets confused pretty quickly — Reza kicks off the first episode of the pod with a brutal critique that Patricia sustains here: many people tend to use posthumanism to advance a kind of hard anthropocentrism applied to everything, a way of accidentally inflating the human all the way out to the cosmic level. It's likely good to critique anthropocentrism at all scales, but it is a very challenging thing to do in practice without carrying out what Reza calls “inflation”, assigning anthropogenic models to everything from fish to stones to electromagnetism. E.g. "my politics include this rock" turns pretty quickly to "this rock has some vital characteristics I'm imposing upon it through my own human gaze."Transhumanism — kind of reversal of the posthuman project. Think Neuralink, human cloning, or dramatic surgical alterations. Transhumanism is humanism transcended, the human project continues but with greater veracity, constructed to conquer the future. A nice quote, per the Xenofeminist Manifesto (not quite a transhumanist project but also not not one) is "if nature is unjust, change nature." If the human as presently understood is insufficiently capable to handle its futures, change the human, make it live longer, act more efficiently, move faster.Asemiosis — the absence or breakdown of traditional semiotic processes, where signs cease to function within the established systems of meaning. This is what happens when we operate within a superabundance of signs and references on massive scales. Don't worry about this one too much.Potestas to Potentia — lmao ok. Potestas in Spinoza refers to the word “power” as we most often understand it, authority, domination, or control. Power OVER. Potentia, on the other hand, refers to power as an intrinsic capacity or potential within an individual or entity. The, uh, power within… so to speak. (Michel Serres concept of “grace”, that MacCormack refers to occasionally, is similar to potential). It's a nice way to think about power without the coercive connotations.Irigaray “letting be” / Serres “stepping aside” — many people have theorized political inaction as a type of action. Check out Bifo Berardi's latest interview on Acid Horizon where he talks about “defection" so sickkkk. This doesn't mean doing nothing, but rather not doing (opting out).Knowledge — this isn't as hard as it comes across. Patricia is basically attacking the need for us to know each other to help each other, to understand each other in order to have empathy for each other. Why? Well, understanding requires communication, which means that information is moving through protocols (e.g. language, digitization, facial expressions, etc…) that are always already encoded with power.Difference — also not so bad! What is difference? You and I are different! Everything is different. For many postmodern philosophers, you can reverse that statement into “difference is everything.” And once you start to think of difference as constructive stuff, well, the world gets quite interesting. For people like Patricia MacCormack, difference is probably a good thing and forces that move to hide, cloak, or suppress difference are probably bad.Art — not what you think art is in this context, like a "painting" for example. Instead, it's an encounter with the unknown, a way of communicating without understanding (this follows from Maurice Blanchot's theories of art as event, which one can also find in a different but not unrelated way in the writings of Alain Badiou, who believes that art is a specific kind of truth different from scientific truth or political truth).HMU via @dis.integrator if I can help with this one.

We again this week discuss TikTok's ReesaTeesa's mega viral story series 'Who TF Did I Marry?', this time with spoilers and a full discussion of modern dating's potential for deception. The episode includes how to spot red flags and not need to understand them (but use them as an immediate guide), questions to elicit candid answers on dates, accepting you will never be an exception to someone's history of poor behaviour, and how you don't really know someone until have seen them face adversity. We also cover Alain Badiou's theory of subjectivity being revealed through responses to events, the disappearance of third spaces, being the average of your five closest friends, 'time boundaries', and the pitfalls of meeting a romantic partner outside the context of their own lives i.e via dating apps or the internet. We also delve into serious mental health issues, specifically how people can make you accomplices in their fantasies, and that the more someone's delusional narrative falls apart the more disintegrated, disregulated, and unpleasant they tend to become.

Chapter 1 What's In Praise of Love Book by Alain BadiouIn Praise of Love is a book by French philosopher Alain Badiou, originally published in 2009. The book explores the concept of love and its significance in contemporary society. Badiou argues that love is an important and transformative force that can challenge the prevailing cynicism and individualism of our modern world.Badiou criticizes the modern notion of love as a consumerist transaction or a fleeting emotion, proposing an alternative understanding rooted in commitment and fidelity. He argues for the revival of a profound and authentic love that is not reliant on personal gain or immediate satisfaction.The book examines the relationship between love and politics, asserting that love has the potential to create social and political transformations. Badiou believes that love can inspire individuals to overcome their self-interest and engage in collective action for the betterment of society.In Praise of Love is both a philosophical inquiry into the nature of love and a political manifesto advocating for the reinvigoration of love as a transformative force. It calls for a rejection of the prevailing cynicism and a return to a more genuine and meaningful conception of love.Chapter 2 Is In Praise of Love Book A Good BookOpinions on the book "In Praise of Love" by Alain Badiou can vary depending on individual preferences and interests. However, it is generally considered a thought-provoking and insightful book on the concept of love in contemporary society. Badiou explores the limitations and challenges of modern romantic relationships, critiquing the prevailing notions of love based on consumerism and individualism. He presents an alternative perspective that emphasizes the importance of collective love, commitment, and fidelity. Whether or not the book is considered good will depend on one's personal interest in philosophical reflections on love and relationships.Chapter 3 In Praise of Love Book by Alain Badiou Summary"In Praise of Love" is a book written by French philosopher Alain Badiou. The book explores the concept of love and its place in modern society. Badiou argues that love has been gradually marginalized and commercialized, becoming a mere commodity rather than a profound and transformative experience.Badiou starts by discussing the historical evolution of love, from its classical understanding as a passionate and all-encompassing force, to its modern portrayal as a fleeting and superficial emotion. He criticizes the current cultural and consumeristic understanding of love, where relationships are based on desire and personal satisfaction rather than genuine commitment and connection.According to Badiou, true love requires a radical transformation of the self and a dedication to the other person. Love is not about personal happiness or fulfillment but about creating something new and meaningful together. It is a commitment that goes beyond individual desires and needs, requiring loyalty, trust, and the willingness to support and care for each other.Badiou also criticizes the prevalent fear of commitment in contemporary society, arguing that love cannot be reduced to a temporary passion or the pursuit of personal pleasure. He stresses the importance of taking risks and embracing vulnerability in love, as this is where the potential for growth and change lies.Moreover, Badiou explores the connection between love and politics, suggesting that love can be a powerful force for social transformation. He argues that love can transcend the boundaries of individual relationships and extend to communities and humanity as a whole. Love is a collective act that can challenge oppressive systems and advocate for...

Macron en conférence de presse ? "C'est Margaret Thatcher sous stéroïdes ?", pour sa carte blanche Paul Elek continue d'user de ses punchlines affûtées. Il faut dire qu'on lui a demandé de décrypter pour nous le One Man Show de Macron, diffusé hier soir sur les principales chaînes télés en France. Un exercice de communication (une conférence de presse devant près de 200 journalistes ) "inédit" et "XXL" comme nous le vendaient les communiquants de l'Elysée et leurs relais médiatiques. En vérité, on ne s'attendait à rien mais on est quand même déçus ! Pendant près de 2h et demi, le président de la République a décliné un argumentaire aux relents populistes, marqué par ce qu'il appelle depuis quelque temps « le réarmement civique » de la France. Alors tout y est passé, l'école, la santé, la sécurité, l'économie… Avec notamment des approximations comme lorsque Emmanuel Macron parle des salaires et du pouvoir d'achat des personnes touchant le SMIC. Il déclare que ces cinq dernières années de son quinquennat, le SMIC a augmenté de 20%. Une déclaration formellement fausse. Le SMIC qui vient de passer en ce mois de janvier 2024 à 1766 euros brut et qui était à 1521 euros au 1er janvier 2019, a augmenté en fait de 16% sur les cinq dernières années. Et si on remonte à 2017, on est sur une augmentation d'à peine 9%. Pour appuyer son discours, Emmanuel Macron a beaucoup dragué des classes moyennes, mais aussi tapé sur les plus précaires en justifiant de leur imposer toujours plus de règles pour qu'elles bénéficient des prestations sociales. Un véritable "cirque" médiatique où comme, le révélaient nos confrères d'Arrêt sur Image, les questions étaient connues à l'avance par les attachés de presse de l'Élysée (e notre côté, nous avons été complètement privés de cette conférence, notre accréditation a été refusée)… Mais également un one man show réactionnaire qui a fait renaître la subjectivité « pétainiste » dont parlait le philosophe Alain Badiou.

We continue our conversation on the meaning of revolution with C. Derick Varn, by turning to the theoretical basis of "post" Marxist thinkers from the Althusserian school, Laclau and Mouffe, Hardt and Negri and Alain Badiou. We discuss some of the pitfalls of these contemporary Marxist theorists and the basis by which they revise core tenets from Marx. We also discuss new class theories on today's left and how they relate to Marx's class theory and different theories of the intellectual in socialist thought.

Una introducción a En busca del tiempo perdido, que reúne lo que fueron las clases que dictó sobre la obra del gran autor francés durante tres años. El libro publicado por el Malba es una prueba del gran talento de Romero para la divulgación y de su capacidad para compartir generosamente su erudición y su conocimiento.

Ryan and Todd provide an introduction to the philosopher of contemporary French thinker Alain Badiou. They begin with his insistence on the importance of mathematics and then move on to his understanding of truth in relation to the event. They also discuss the contrast between Badiou and Hegel.

Ryan and Todd explore the philosophical concept of the event, tracing its trajectory through three thinkers--Martin Heidegger, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Zizek. They make this discussion concrete with an extended discussion of the current revolutionary feminist actions occurring in Iran.

We are joined by writer and Marxist thinker Bruno Bosteels to discuss Léon Rozitchner's Freud and the Limits of Bourgeois Individualism, which Bosteels has recently translated. In this conversation, we discuss Rozitchner's biography, his place within South American Marxism, the key concepts and approach of the text and we end with a consideration of Alain Badiou's thought. Bosteels is the translator of Freud and the Limits of Bourgeois Individualism, Alain Badiou's Theory of the Subject and he is the author of the forthcoming book Philosophies of Defeat: The Jargon of Finitude (Verso).
