Together, we unpack how anarchism operates not merely as a political program, but as an ethical and temporal force—a heterotopia that resists monolingualism, sovereign authority, and the foreclosure of otherness. Nicholas discusses the right to opacity, indirect reciprocity, and an anarchist ethics of reading that dismantles institutional power while cultivating new forms of literacy and solidarity. Drawing on the work of Glissant, Levinas, Derrida, and others, this conversation maps a terrain where impossibility becomes the site of political and philosophical renewal. We also reflect on the prospects for anarchist institutions, public pedagogy, and the future of thought in an age of digital unthinking.Support the showSupport the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

Dirk De Wachter (°1960) vertelt in Otheo Radio aan Leo A. De Bock over zijn herkomst en de mensen en gebeurtenissen die hem hebben gevormd tot wie hij vandaag is. Hij verwijst naar Levinas en Sartre en stelt dat l'enfer niet les autres zijn, maar juist het gemis van de ander. Hij spreekt over mededogen en zijn trouw aan de waarden die hij heeft meegekregen, maar evengoed over zijn vragen en twijfels en noemt zichzelf een ‘christelijke non-theïst'. Dirk De Wachter pleit voor de kracht van verontwaardiging en engagement: indignez-vous en engagez-vous in navolging van Jezus van Nazareth. Vooral nu, want we zijn in de grote bochtigheid van het menselijke parcours aanbeland waar medemenselijkheid enorm onder druk staat. Met lede ogen ziet hij aan dat de generatie van soixant-huitards belachelijk gemaakt wordt. Beschouw deze aflevering van Otheo Radio als een invitation à la danse.

“The idea of analytic neutrality, which was more or less a cliche truth when I was training back in the 1980s, is clearly getting at something very important, which is that we mustn't try to pre-conceive where the patient's development is going to take him or her. But that doesn't mean that the development is not in a direction. Aristotle famously said that the human being is a ‘zoon politikon', a creature who belongs in a somewhat structured society. Healthy development is in that sort of direction as we become more integrated, as our ‘ghosts become more like ancestors', to use that famous metaphor. We become more aware of the reality of other people and their real as opposed to their fantasy importance in the ecosystem of which we are all part. And this makes possible the sort of ethical realization that Levinas was talking about. We recognize the reality of the other. We discover that we are interconnected. We are part of something that is hugely greater than ourselves and that goes beyond our knowing. But of course, that doesn't mean that we are not also selfish and unique selves. It's that we are under pressure, so to speak, from both quarters.”  Episode Description: We begin with David's description of Freud's view of religion as offering  "compellingly attractive" illusions in the face of the helplessness we face by life's and death's unpredictability. Alternatively, David suggests that religions provide 'objects', ie Gods, that are importantly allegorical and offer an ‘ethical seriousness' over time. We discuss the ability of these allegories to offer possibilities of 'transcendence' in a world that he sees as often limited to the material. He presents Levinas' view of the responsibility we all have when encountering "the face of the other" - a responsibility that is not chosen but "slipped into my consciousness like a thief." We consider the ethical differences between one's superego and one's conscience. We close with David sharing with us the vicissitudes of his early life that, as for us all, form a context for our later interests.     Our Guest: David Black studied philosophy and Eastern religions before training in London, first as a pastoral counsellor and later as a psychoanalyst. He is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society, now retired, who has written widely on psychoanalysis in relation to matters of ethics and religion. In 2006 he edited Psychoanalysis and Religion in the Twenty-first Century. He has published two collections of his own psychoanalytic papers, most recently Psychoanalysis and Ethics: the Necessity of Perspective. He is also a poet and translator, whose translation of Dante's Purgatorio was published in 2021 in the New York Review of Books Classics series.

In this rich intellectual history of the French-Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas's Talmudic lectures in Paris, Ethan Kleinberg addresses Levinas's Jewish life and its relation to his philosophical writings while making an argument for the role and importance of Levinas's Talmudic lessons. Pairing each chapter with a related Talmudic lecture, Kleinberg uses the distinction Levinas presents between "God on Our Side" and "God on God's Side" to provide two discrete and at times conflicting approaches to Levinas's Talmudic readings. One is historically situated and argued from "our side" while the other uses Levinas's Talmudic readings themselves to approach the issues as timeless and derived from "God on God's own side." In Emmanuel Levinas's Talmudic Turn: Philosophy and Jewish Thought (Stanford UP, 2021), Kleinberg asks whether the ethical message and moral urgency of Levinas's Talmudic lectures can be extended beyond the texts and beliefs of a chosen people, religion, or even the seemingly primary unit of the self. Touching on Western philosophy, French Enlightenment universalism, and the Lithuanian Talmudic tradition, Kleinberg provides readers with a boundary-pushing investigation into the origins, influences, and causes of Levinas's turn to and use of Talmud.

Levinas over de Ontsnapping

Koinonia Live!

In Levinas' werk On Escape uit 1935 onderzoekt hij het concept van “ontsnappen” als een fundamentele menselijke behoefte om uit de beperkingen van het bestaan te stappen. Deze behoefte om te ontsnappen is niet simpelweg een verlangen om onaangename realiteiten te vermijden, maar een dieper verlangen om los te komen van de beperkingen en het gewicht van het bestaan zelf. Levinas beschrijft ontsnappen niet als een vlucht naar een specifieke bestemming, maar als een pure behoefte om eruit te komen. Het gaat niet om het zoeken van een toevluchtsoord of het vinden van een betere plek, maar om de handeling zelf van het loskomen van de ketenen van het zijn.Ontsnappen is geworteld in de ervaring van misselijkheid, een gevoel van overweldigd worden door de pure feitelijkheid en onontkoombaarheid van het zijn. Misselijkheid onthult de “wreedheid van het zijn”, het feit dat het zich aan ons opdringt zonder onze toestemming, wat leidt tot een gevoel van gevangen zijn. Schaamte is nauw verbonden met misselijkheid en ontsnappen. Het komt voort uit het besef van onze eigen kwetsbaarheid en blootstelling, ons onvermogen om ons voor onszelf of anderen te verbergen. Deze schaamte onthult de “onveranderlijk bindende aanwezigheid van het Ik in zichzelf”.Genot biedt een valse belofte van ontsnapping. Hoewel het een tijdelijk gevoel van bevrijding en extase geeft, leidt het uiteindelijk terug naar hetzelfde gevoel van opsluiting en teleurstelling. Genot is een “bedrieglijke ontsnapping” die er niet in slaagt echte vrijheid te bieden. Levinas contrasteert ontsnappen met andere filosofische concepten. Ontsnappen staat los van scheppen of worden; terwijl scheppen inhoudt dat er iets nieuws ontstaat, is ontsnappen erop gericht om los te komen van het zijn. Ontsnappen is geen heimwee naar de dood; de dood wordt niet gezien als een oplossing of een echte uitweg, maar slechts als een intensivering van de fataliteit van het zijn. Idealisme biedt een beperkte vorm van ontsnapping; hoewel het de materiële wereld probeert te overstijgen via het rijk van de ideeën, blijft het uiteindelijk gebonden aan de categorieën van het zijn.Levinas erkent de uitdagingen van het conceptualiseren van ontsnapping en beschrijft het als een “onnavolgbaar thema” dat moeilijk te vatten en te verwoorden is. Het verzet zich tegen eenvoudige categorisering en vereist een nieuwe filosofische taal om het adequaat uit te drukken. Zijn vroege werk biedt geen duidelijk pad voor ontsnapping en presenteert het als een noodzakelijke maar uiteindelijk niet gerealiseerde behoefte. Later gaat Levinas verder dan het concept van ontsnappen en ontwikkelt hij meer genuanceerde ideeën zoals de hypostase in Existence and Existents en de ethische relatie tot de Ander in Totality and Infinity en Otherwise than Being. Deze latere werken bieden alternatieve manieren om de beperkingen van het zijn te overstijgen, waarbij de nadruk ligt op de ethische verantwoordelijkheid voor de ander als middel om los te komen van de egocentrisme van het zijn.Belangrijk is dat Levinas' concept van ontsnappen aan het zijn, hoewel later verlaten, een krachtige illustratie blijft van zijn fenomenologische benadering van het begrijpen van de menselijke conditie. Het onthult een diepgeworteld verlangen naar iets buiten de grenzen van ons bestaan, een verlangen dat uiteindelijk zijn vervulling vindt in het ethische domein.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/koinonia-bijbelstudie-live--595091/support.

Enrique Dussel nous a quittés il y a bientôt un an, en novembre 2023. C'était un philosophe et théologien argentin, dont le nom reste peu connu en France malgré sa notoriété en Amérique Latine, et notamment au Mexique où il s'exila en 1975 après avoir été menacé de mort par l'extrême-droite argentine. L'absence de Dussel dans le paysage théorique français est un fait qui confirme une fois de plus la règle des abysses de l'ignorance et de la forclusion nationales en matière de décolonial. Emmanuel Levine a récemment traduit deux des œuvres de Dussel, ce qui rend possible de continuer de remédier à ce déni : Philosophie de la libération, PUF, 2023 et Métaphysique de l'altérité. Levinas et la libération latino-américaine, Hermann, 2024. Une spécificité de Dussel est d'avoir inlassablement affirmé et documenté l'existence d'une dimension métaphysique propre aux enjeux anticoloniaux, postcoloniaux, décoloniaux. On a eu l'occasion, en lisant et discutant Dussel, de se poser la question des différences entre ce que recoupent ces trois derniers termes, et donc de procéder à une esquisse de généalogie du décolonial latino-américain ; de s'interroger ainsi sur les orientations qu'il nous faut lui donner à présent. « Initier un discours philosophique qui parte de la périphérie, qui parte des opprimés. » – tel était le mot d'ordre, en 1977, de la Philosophie de la libération.

One of the most beautiful, challenging, and profound works of philosophy. Totality and Infinity is a fundamental challenge to the history philosophy, history, and political thought. He is especially worth tarrying with if you are interested in Marx, Heidegger, or Derrida, much less influenced by Zizek or Land. David McKerracher has been studying Levinas for a long time and is far from an expert, but he has refined his ability to talk about this challenging work in a way that is more accessible and simultaneously in depth than anything else you will find on the internet.

Julie and Scott talk about Simone Weil's astounding biography, including her experiences volunteering for the Spanish Civil War and participating in the French Resistance. We discuss her essays “The Iliad, or, The Poem of Force,”“The Need for Roots,” and “Reflections on the Right Use of School Studies with a View to the Love of God.” And we ask, how does war turn us into objects? What is the relationship between openness to God and openness to the neighbor? What might a society of “attention” look like? What are some of the complexities of pacifism and anti-statism? What might mean to create a society of attention? And finally, how does Scott read Weil as a Jewish thinker, necessary for us today?Note: For our use of the term “thingification” see Aimé Césaire's Discourse on Colonialism.Other texts and authors discussed:George Herbert, “Love III”Kathryn Lawson, Ecological Ethics and the Philosophy of Simone Weil: Decreation for the Anthropocene.

The week Coop and Taylor are joined by Matt Bower to discuss a few sections from Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Husserl at the limits of Phenomenology as well as Husserl's The Origin of Geometry. Matt is currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Texas State University. Matt completed his doctoral work at University of Memphis (2013) and earned by bachelors' degree, also in philosophy, from Beloit College (2007). His area of specialization is post-Kantian European philosophy, especially as it bears on topics in philosophy of mind and perception. He's published several articles about Husserl's genetic phenomenology, some attempting to explain Husserl's method and theoretical ambitions in doing genetic phenomenology and others examining its relation to developmental psychology and as a way to understand the embededness of intersubjectivity in perceptual experience. He's also published articles exploring the phenomenology of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas.

In these initial sections, subtitled "The Problem of Truth" and "From the Object to Being," he's recounting how Heideggerian phenomenology argued that being (including our unarticulated awareness of being) is more fundamental than knowledge (a verbalized, objectifying attitude toward the world attributed to a tradition initiated by Descartes).

Exciting news! For the first time Bloomsbury has published a book length overview and guide to Slavoj Žižek's 1989 text The Sublime Object of Ideology and we're talking with it's author Rafael Winkler about his reading of Slavoj Žižek's famous text. Rafael is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy, University of Johannesburg, South Africa. He's the author of Žižek's The Sublime Object of Ideology: A Reader's Guide (London: Bloomsbury, 2024), Philosophy of Finitude: Heidegger, Levinas, and Nietzsche (London: Bloomsbury, 2019), Identity and Difference (ed.) (London and New York: Routledge, 2018), Phenomenology and Naturalism (ed.) (London and New York: Routledge, 2017), and Identity and Difference: Contemporary Debates on the Self (ed.) (London: Palgrave, 2016) More on the book from Bloomsbury. First published in 1989, The Sublime Object of Ideology was Žižek's breakthrough work, and is still regarded by many as his masterpiece. It was an iconoclastic reinvention of ideology critique that introduced the English-speaking world to Žižek's scorching brand of cultural and philosophical commentary and the multifaceted ways in which he explained it. Tying together concepts from aesthetics, psychoanalytic theory, cultural studies and the philosophy of belief, it changed the face of contemporary commentary and remains the underpinning of much of his subsequent thinking.This compelling guide introduces all of the influential thinkers and foundational concepts which Žižek draws on to create this seminal work. Grounding the text's many and varied references in the work of Peter Sloterdijk, Saul Kripke, Walter Benjamin, Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, Immanuel Kant and G.W.F. Hegel, amongst others, helps students who are encountering this mercurial writer for the first time to understand the philosophical context of his early explorations. Each of Žižek's key arguments are unpacked and laid out, alongside an invaluable account of how The Sublime Object of Ideology impacted the critical terrain on which it landed. Enjoy!

How do we “hum with”? How many spheres are there, and how does each have its own intellect? What does Emmanuel Levinas have to tell us about thinking and being with others? How does Levinas imagine a structure of self that helps us to face the world? We also discuss Neoplatonism, phenomenology, the pulse, interfaith work, and Sarah's Jewish childhood in Brooklyn. Sarah Pessin is Professor of Philosophy and Jewish Thought at the University of Denver.

Dylan Shaul presents the one of the most important events in modern philosophy, the Pantheism Controversy sparked by the reception of Spinoza in 18th century Germany. The Controversy involved the greatest German philosophers of the period, and laid the foundations for the next 200 years of European thought. In the balance of the Pantheism Controversy hung the fate of the Enlightenment and Modernity; the fate of faith and reason, religion and philosophy; the fate of freedom, of the immortal soul, and even of God Godself. Our story will take us from the renegade Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza, to the heyday of the German Aufklärung or Enlightenment, through the philosophical revolution of Immanuel Kant, and eventually the birth of German Idealism itself. In the first episode of the series, we explored the philosophy of Spinoza and its reception in Germany, which first spurred the controversy. In the second episode we explored Immanuel Kant's response to Spinozism and the Pantheism Controversy, where he attempted to stake out a middle ground between reason and faith. In this third episode we'll tackle Hegel's efforts to solve the Pantheism Controversy by reconciling Spinoza and Kant—thereby attempting to complete the grand journey from nihilism to Absolute Spirit. Dylan Shaul is a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto. His dissertation is titled Hegel's Concept of Reconciliation: On Absolute Spirit.

Abby and Patrick welcome intellectual historian, writer, editor, and noted wordsmith Ben Wurgaft. They talk about Ben's experiences with long-term analysis and discuss ways of accessing low-cost options for psychoanalysis before collectively digging into Freud's 1905 book on humor, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious – especially Freud's jokes about beggars, millionaires, and salmon mayonnaise. They get into Freud's hydraulic model of jokes as a release of pressure; Freud's obsession with Jewish humor; what makes jokes funny, what makes them pleasurable, and what emotions they can express; the relationship of jokes to play, childhood, and the process of education; and what it means to be a serious person.

Aaron had his wisdom teeth removed a few days prior to recording, and the lingering pain of that surgery directed his attention towards the inescapablness of the bodily experience--Levinas and phenomenology are brought up, of course.

Psychoanalysis On and Off the Couch
High - Conflict Divorce: Psychoanalytic Perspectives with Arthur Leonoff, Ph.D. (Ottawa)

Psychoanalysis On and Off the Couch

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 9, 2023 58:31


"In divorce it's fundamental that even though the couple ends, there's not an end to the family. We still owe a debt to the other - that other who offered to love us, who we had the opportunity to love, our debt to the children of that union. We are irrevocably called to ethics and to the continuing sense of responsibility to that other. Even though the marriage doesn't survive, the family needs to. In the high - conflict scenario, not only does the marriage not survive, often the family doesn't as well. In that sense it is profoundly unethical.  So when I attempt to work with people in that situation, I always do so from an ethical perspective - ethical in the sense of creating a third, so that you try and enter into that system, but it has to be a profoundly ethical presence which I also find is distinctly psychoanalytic. I think our method is saturated with ethics without even realizing it, we're always thinking in ethical terms, managing transference, powerful forces within analytic relationship -  it's a profoundly ethical task that we do. In that sense we also serve as witnesses to what our patients have experienced. The witnessing is also a kind of engagement and we try to do that when we work with people in the high-conflict position."  Episode Description: We begin by distinguishing high-conflict divorce from less malignant versions. Arthur has found that high-conflict divorce is characterized by a particular timeless destructiveness that lacks regard for the sense of the family or the history of affection that had existed within and between the individuals. He has noted an experience of overwhelming disillusionment in the histories of those who are unable to mourn and instead remain immersed in vendetta seeking. We discuss the role of ethics, witnessing, and the capacity for the 'third' in these couples. Arthur shares with us his clinical experience with same-sex couples as well as with the unfortunate scenarios of alienated children who attempt to bolster the fragile capacities of one parent by refusing any contact with the other. He concludes by describing that his attention to the inner realities of these individuals is what he uniquely brings as a psychoanalyst to these often behaviorally tumultuous human tragedies.   Our Guest: Arthur Leonoff, Ph.D., is a psychologist and Supervising & Training Analyst of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society. He is a past president and recipient of his Society's Citation of Merit. He is also an Honorary member of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Dr. Leonoff was the first president of the North American Psychoanalytic Confederation. He currently is chair of the IPA Committee International New Groups.Dr. Leonoff has maintained a private psychoanalytic practice for more than four decades. He is an active clinician, teacher, supervisor, and presenter, as well as author. Recently he has contributed to two edited volumes, Dear Candidate and Psychoanalysis at the Crossroads. He has written on diverse subjects of clinical interest, including the kindling of metaphor in recovering from the impact of early complex psychic trauma.In addition to his psychoanalytic practice, Dr. Leonoff has worked extensively as a consultant and expert witness to the Canadian courts on the confluence of psychopathology and high-conflict divorce. He is the author of three books in this field, most recently The Good Divorce (2015) and When Divorces Fail, Disillusionment, Destructivity & High Conflict Divorce (2021), The Good Divorce has been revised and republished as The Ethical Divorce, which is available from Friesen Press.

In this episode we discuss the concept of "aesthetics," a prompt given to us by our best-looking and first Patreon subscriber, Charles. As one of Bethany's primary areas of expertise, she begins with an introduction of aesthetics and explains Dewey's use of the term "aesthetic experience." Jp muses on this term befitting his experiences of emptiness (subject/object dissolution) and Aaron suggests an understanding of aesthetics as the more fundamental field of sensory experience. As expected, Aaron goes on to discuss Levinas' conception of aesthetics (our sensible relationship to the world) as primordial to and informing ethics (our sense of the good). We then wrap up with a more conventional articulation of aesthetics as 'taste,' and Bethany takes shots at the sitcom King of Queens.

Rev. Dr. Patston draws upon the writings of Bakhtin and Levinas in particular to approach the dialogues that Job has with his friends. The primary emphases that emerge for Rev. Dr. Patston is that stigmas toward those who are “other” to us should be replaced by wonder and play as postures of curiosity.
