Welcome back to Boundless and Bottomless Seas. In this episode, we finally cross the finish line of Alexander Dugin's infamous text, The Fourth Political Theory. While Dugin frames himself as the ultimate adversary to Western postmodernism, a close, line-by-line reading reveals a wild, contradictory smoothie of ideas. We put it all in the blender: Soviet Marxism, radical traditionalism, Carl Schmitt's friend-enemy distinction, a heavy dose of Martin Heidegger, and a few tablespoons of pure Infowars-level internet mysticism. We dive deep into the messy world of his conflicting translations and the obscure concepts found in his appendices: Political Post-Anthropology: How the shift from a "political subject" to mere "political identification" has reduced modern politics to passive fandom and LARPing. The Metaphysics of Chaos vs. Logos: Dugin's bizarre, quasi-Gnostic argument that "Logos" has expired and that humanity's only savior is an embrace of "pre-ontological chaos." The Cult Bullshit Filter: We analyze why his philosophy reads less like a coherent geopolitical strategy and more like an intellectual trap designed to turn 1990s English majors into reactionaries. We wrap up our thoughts on Dugin and preview what's next on our summer reading list as we shift gears toward American conservative fusionism, movement conservatism, and eating our vegetables with Russell Kirk and Leo Strauss.

Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) var en av det 20. århundrets mest innflytelsesrike filosofer – og samtidig en politisk katastrofe. Hvordan kunne en tenker som viet sitt liv til spørsmål om sannhet, autentisitet og menneskelig eksistens ende opp som nazist? I dette foredraget følger vi Heidegger fra den katolske småbyen Messkirch til gjennombruddet med Væren og tid (1927), og videre til ekteskapet med den enda mer dedikerte nazisten Elfriede, affæren med den atten år gamle jødiske studenten Hannah Arendt, og Svarte hefter, som han selv bestemte skulle publiseres etter hans død. I senfilosofien hans ser vi mest på hans modernitets- og liberalismekritikk. Dette er ikke bare historien om en filosof. Det er en fortelling om hvor lite intellektuell storhet beskytter mot moralsk havari.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Martin Heidegger is considered one of the most important philosophers of all time, but his works are also regarded as impenetrable. One of his more approachable writings and one of his best is his essay on the nature of technology. The piece reveals a thinker who is less worried about technology itself and more worried about the mindset technology creates in the human being. Philosophy scholar Michael Millerman joins me to discuss this critical work.

ArTEEtude. West Cork´s first Art, Fashion & Design Podcast by Detlef Schlich.
In Arteetude 336 – The Collapse of Wonder, Detlef Schlich and Sophia, his AI Co-Host, enter the philosophical afterglow of the creative process behind the AfricaSmile music video.What began as an AI-assisted editing process became a deeper question: what happens when the world becomes endlessly imageable? When every vision can be generated, corrected, beautified, animated, and replaced, does art gain new freedom — or does wonder begin to collapse under the pressure of too much availability?Through the lens of Martin Heidegger's The Question Concerning Technology and Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Nearer, Detlef reflects on AI not simply as a tool, but as a new mode of revealing the world. Heidegger warns that modern technology turns nature into “standing-reserve” — material waiting to be used. Kurzweil, by contrast, sees technological acceleration as part of evolution, moving toward the merging of human and machine intelligence.Between these two poles, Detlef asks: is AI helping us discover deeper secrets, or are we consuming revelation too quickly? From the Nile of AfricaSmile to the River Ilen of the upcoming Illens Hopium, this episode explores the river as a counter-image to machine speed — a slower force of memory, erosion, sediment, and hope.The episode closes with the new Los Inorgánicos song “Slow the River Down”, a dark, poetic reflection on image overload, artistic dignity, and the need to let mystery breathe.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBandFrom the forthcoming WAW albumThe Stories of Nil YoungTwo songs from WAW's developing album project The Stories of Nil Young — a mythopoetic journey along the Nile, where river, memory, loss, cooperation and hope flow into music.AfricaSmileAfricaSmile follows the Nile as an imagined journey from its sources to the Mediterranean Sea — a river of memory, movement, rhythm and myth.The song turns the meeting of the White Nile and the Blue Nile into a fragile image of cooperation. It is not a naïve peace anthem, but a wounded musical hope: two different currents meeting, listening, and still moving forward together.The Niles Bittersweet SongThe Nile's Bittersweet Song is the first official single by WAW / Wild Atlantic Way — Detlef Schlich and Dirk Schlömer.The song follows the Nile as a river of memory, beauty, loss and contradiction: a life-giver, but also a force that can take away what it once nourished. Through the story of Kamau, it becomes a poetic reflection on childhood, fragile hope, and the emotional landscape carried by a river that is both kind and cruel.Inspired by East African storytelling traditions and shaped along the Wild Atlantic Way in West Cork, The Nile's Bittersweet Song is a mythopoetic musical journey about water, grief, resilience, and the deep human longing to keep moving with the current.Inspired by East African storytelling traditions and shaped along the Wild Atlantic Way in West Cork, The Nile's Bittersweet Song is a mythopoetic musical journey about water, grief, resilience, and the deep human longing to keep moving with the current.WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/exclusive-content
Das Verhältnis des Paul Celan und Martin Heidegger ist eines der großen und vieldiskutierten Rätsel der deutschen Nachkriegsgeschichte, hier der Philosoph, der sich für den Nationalsozialismus engagierte, dort der Dichter, dessen Eltern im Holocaust umkamen. Der Essay macht sich auf die Suche in den Archiven, er schaut in die Bibliotheken von Celan und Heidegger, die sich im Deutschen Literaturarchiv in Marbach befinden, deutet Lesespuren, Anstreichungen oder offensichtliche Desinteresse. Eines ist dabei schnell klar, die Begegnung der beiden findet nicht wirklich auf Augenhöhe statt. Wie aber dann? Essay von Frank Hertweck SWR 2026

Martin Heidegger war Nationalsozialist, Antisemit – und der einflussreichste Philosoph des 20. Jahrhunderts. Vor 50 Jahren starb er. Sollten wir ihn weiter lesen? Unbedingt, trotz allem, sagt Literaturwissenschaftler Oliver Jahraus. Eilenberger, Wolfram; Jahraus, Oliver www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Sein und Streit
PODSQI–Biography Series: Are You Truly Living, or Just Existing?In this episode of PODSQI–Biography Series, we explore the life and thought of Martin Heidegger, one of the most influential and controversial philosophers of the twentieth century.Heidegger did not merely ask what we know, what we believe, or how we should live. He asked something deeper: What does it mean to be?Through his famous concept of Dasein, Heidegger invites us to reflect on human existence, anxiety, death, freedom, and authenticity. In a world full of noise, pressure, and social expectations, his philosophy challenges us to ask whether we are truly living—or simply following the crowd.This episode is not only about philosophy. It is about the human condition, the courage to think, and the struggle to live more authentically.
Diese Quellen bieten eine umfassende Analyse des Lebens und Wirkens von Hannah Arendt, einer der bedeutendsten politischen Theoretikerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sie beleuchten ihre intellektuelle Entwicklung unter dem Einfluss von Martin Heidegger und Karl Jaspers sowie ihre Flucht vor dem Nationalsozialismus in die USA. Ein zentraler Schwerpunkt liegt auf ihrem kontroversen Konzept der „Banalität des Bösen“, das sie während des Prozesses gegen Adolf Eichmann entwickelte, um die Mitschuld gewöhnlicher Menschen an systematischen Gräueltaten zu erklären. Zudem thematisieren die Texte ihr Hauptwerk Vita activa, in dem sie menschliche Tätigkeiten in Arbeiten, Herstellen und Handeln unterteilt und die Bedeutung des öffentlichen Raums betont. Insgesamt zeichnen die Dokumente das Bild einer Denkerin, die sich unermüdlich mit der menschlichen Freiheit, der moralischen Verantwortung und den Gefahren des Totalitarismus auseinandersetzte.Hannah Arendts Konzept der Banalität des Bösen entstand aus ihrer Beobachtung des Prozesses gegen den SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann im Jahr 1961 in Jerusalem. Statt des erwarteten „Monsters“ oder eines dämonischen Bösewichts fand Arendt in Eichmann einen erschreckend gewöhnlichen Bürokraten vor, der in Klischees sprach und sich auf Befehle und Vorschriften berief.Hier sind die zentralen Aspekte dieses Konzepts:Der Kern der Banalität liegt laut Arendt in der Gedankenlosigkeit (Gedankenlosigkeit). Eichmann handelte nicht aus tiefem Hass oder einer bösartigen Ideologie, sondern er hatte seine Fähigkeit zum eigenständigen moralischen Urteil aufgegeben. Er stellte sich nie die Sokratische Frage des inneren Dialogs: „Was tue ich hier eigentlich und was bedeutet es?“. Das Böse resultierte also nicht aus einer besonderen Verderbtheit, sondern aus dem bloßen Ausbleiben des Denkens.Arendt unterschied strikt zwischen den Taten und der Person: Während die Taten katastrophal und monströs waren, war der Mann, der sie ausführte, im moralischen Sinne ein „Niemand“. Sie bezeichnete das Böse als ein Oberflächenphänomen, das keine Tiefe oder radikale Wurzeln besitzt. Ein Dämon wäre in einem moralischen Universum zumindest noch begreifbar; ein „Niemand“ wie Eichmann, der lediglich als Relaisstation für Mord fungiert, ist weitaus beängstigender, da diese Form des Versagens theoretisch jedem Menschen offensteht.Ein entscheidendes Defizit Eichmanns war die Unfähigkeit zum repräsentativen Denken (sich vorstellen). Dies ist die Fähigkeit, sich die Standpunkte anderer Menschen zu vergegenwärtigen, um das eigene Urteil zu prüfen und zu erweitern. Eichmann konnte sich die Welt nicht aus der Perspektive derer vorstellen, die er in den Tod schickte. Für Arendt ist diese imaginative Disziplin jedoch die Grundlage jeglichen politischen und moralischen Urteilens.Vor dem Eichmann-Prozess hatte Arendt noch den Begriff des Radikal Bösen (in Anlehnung an Kant) verwendet, was eine Perversion des moralischen Willens implizierte. Mit der „Banalität“ beschrieb sie nun etwas aus ihrer Sicht Schlimmeres: Böses, das ganz ohne Willen oder Absicht geschieht, einfach weil der Einzelne als „Rädchen“ in einem bürokratischen System funktioniert.Das Konzept löste einen gewaltigen Sturm der Entrüstung aus.Kritik von Jaspers: Ihr Mentor Karl Jaspers befürchtete, das Wort „Banalität“ könne das Gewicht der Verbrechen mindern oder sie als rein administrativ und damit handhabbar erscheinen lassen.Eichmanns wahre Natur: Spätere Historiker wie Bettina Stangneth argumentierten, Eichmann sei keineswegs ein gedankenloser Bürokrat gewesen, sondern ein überzeugter antisemitischer Ideologe, der seine Rolle im Prozess lediglich performte.Die Rolle der Judenräte: Besonders schmerzhaft war Arendts Kritik an der Kooperation einiger jüdischer Führer während des Holocausts, was viele Überlebende als Vorwurf der Mitschuld empfanden.Zusammenfassend ist die Banalität des Bösen für Arendt eine Diagnose menschlichen Versagens.

Temas tratados na entrevista (em tópicos) Diferença entre “filosofia no direito” e “filosofia do direito”Defesa da ideia de que a filosofia não deve ser mero ornamento externo ao campo jurídico, mas condição de possibilidade para compreender conceitos, práticas e decisões jurídicas. A filosofia como modo de ser no mundoInfluência de Martin Heidegger: a filosofia aparece como forma de existência e de compreensão prévia do mundo, não apenas disciplina acadêmica. Linguagem, nomes e realidadeDebate sobre como se dão nome às coisas, relação entre palavras e mundo, usando referências como Crátilo e Vidas Secas. Crítica ao positivismo jurídico e ao cientificismoDiscussão sobre o século XIX, quando a filosofia teria sido afastada como “metafísica”, deixando o direito empobrecido teoricamente. Contradições filosóficas nas decisões judiciaisExemplo de juízes que invocam ao mesmo tempo “livre convencimento” (subjetivismo) e “verdade real” (objetivismo), misturando paradigmas incompatíveis. Crítica ao decisionismo judicial brasileiroRejeição da ideia de que “direito é aquilo que os tribunais dizem que é”, vista como destruição da autonomia do direito. Hermenêutica jurídica e limites da interpretaçãoDefesa de limites interpretativos contra arbitrariedades e superinterpretações. A interpretação jurídica deve ser constrangida por tradição, linguagem e institucionalidade. Conceito de “constrangimento epistemológico”Tese de Lenio Streck de que a doutrina e a teoria jurídica devem limitar interpretações arbitrárias e impor padrões racionais ao direito. Direito e literaturaA literatura como fonte privilegiada para compreender dilemas jurídicos e políticos. Exemplos usados: Orestéia, As Viagens de Gulliver, William Shakespeare. Superinterpretação e relativismoDiscussão do debate entre Umberto Eco e Richard Rorty sobre limites da interpretação e riscos do relativismo. Crítica à cultura digital e redes sociaisReflexão sobre banalização do conhecimento, culto à superficialidade e perda da vergonha pública na era das redes. Inteligência artificial e atalhos cognitivosPreocupação com IA como instrumento de simplificação excessiva, respostas prontas e fuga da angústia do pensamento. Hierarquia, autoridade e educaçãoDebate sobre a importância de hierarquias legítimas na formação intelectual e no aprendizado, contrapondo-se ao igualitarismo simplificador. Filosofia brasileira e reconhecimento de Ernildo SteinStreck aponta Ernildo Stein como o filósofo brasileiro que mais o impressionou.

Who was Hannah Arendt? What did she believe about truth and politics? Was she wrong about the American Revolution? Today on The Remnant, Jonah Goldberg and Roger Berkowitz dive into these questions and more, discussing what intellectual category Arendt falls in, her understanding of truth, the question of human nature, Arendt's relationship with Martin Heidegger, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, Adolf Eichmann, the meaning of the banality of evil, Arendt's view of the American Revolution, and whether or not she was a small-“L” liberal.

️ Estimados oyentes: En el episodio de hoy nos adentramos en el pensamiento de Rudolf Bultmann, una de las figuras más influyentes —y también más discutidas— de la teología del siglo XX. Su propuesta de “desmitologización” buscó releer el mensaje del Nuevo Testamento liberándolo de su envoltura mítica, para hacerlo inteligible al hombre moderno sin perder su núcleo existencial. A partir de aquí, pondremos su pensamiento en diálogo con Karl Barth, con quien comparte el rechazo al liberalismo teológico, pero del que se separa en un punto decisivo: mientras Barth insiste en la primacía de la revelación divina como irrupción trascendente, Bultmann pone el acento en la interpretación existencial del mensaje cristiano, profundamente influido por la filosofía de Martin Heidegger. Finalmente, abordaremos las críticas que su pensamiento ha suscitado desde dos frentes bien distintos pero coincidentes en su desconfianza: por un lado, el tradicionalismo, que ve en Bultmann una reducción del cristianismo al ámbito subjetivo; y por otro, el neotomismo, que cuestiona la ruptura con la metafísica clásica y la pérdida del anclaje ontológico de la fe. Un episodio para comprender no solo a Bultmann, sino una de las grandes tensiones de la teología contemporánea: entre fidelidad al mensaje original y su reinterpretación en el mundo moderno.

前段时间我们有位爱趣的小伙伴Mike,分享了他自己在爱趣从完全的英语零基础,到现在可以比较地道讲英语的经历。我觉得他的故事特别值得我们去学习,他的故事真的就验证了我们今天所分享的这一句话。We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.我们绝不应让恐惧或他人的期待,来划定我们命运的边界。这位小伙伴在家中排行最小,有两位姐姐。在重男轻女的传统观念影响较深的家庭环境中,父母将全部希望寄托于他,期盼他能够专心求学。然而事与愿违,他在义务教育阶段便早早步入社会,从一名普通的“托尼老师”开始打拼。众所周知,美发行业入行门槛较低,但发展上限极高。凭借不懈努力与扎实专业能力,Mike 一路成长,最终成为国内顶尖的美发讲师。他的人生经历,正是对上述名言最好的诠释:他没有被父母的期待所束缚,也没有让内心的恐惧与外界的看法主宰自己的人生。这句话出自于马丁·海德格尔(Martin Heidegger,1889-1976),他是德国20世纪极具影响力的存在主义哲学家,代表作《存在与时间》奠定了他在西方哲学界的地位,毕生探讨人的存在价值、自我抉择与生命边界,思想深刻影响了文学、心理学、教育等多个领域。很多零基础英语的小伙伴学英语时,总被内心的恐惧困住:怕发音难听、怕坚持不下来、怕被人嘲笑,还总被身边人的期待裹挟,觉得“年纪大了学不会”“没必要浪费时间”,慢慢给自己的学习之路设限。今天我们就来解读这句英文名言。New Wordsallow [əˈlaʊ]v. 允许;准许;让My parents don't allow me to give up learning English.我的父母不允许我放弃学英语。fear [fɪr] n. 恐惧;害怕 v. 害怕;担忧She has a fear of speaking English in public.她害怕在公共场合说英语。expectation[ˌekspekˈteɪʃn]n.预期;期望;希望;期待The result was beyond my expectation.结果超出了我的预期。frontier [frʌnˈtɪə]n. 边境;边界;前沿;尖端领域She is working on the frontier of medical science.她奋战在医学科学的前沿。destiny [ˈdestəni]n. 命运;天命Your hard work can change your destiny.你的努力可以改变自己的命运。Quote to learn for todayWe should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.——Martin Heidegger翻译我们绝不应让恐惧或他人的期待,来划定我们命运的边界。——马丁·海德格尔 28期爱趣英文开启限额招募,跟着卡卡老师彻底摆脱懒癌,全面系统提升!公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu002
Vor einigen Tagen verstarb Jürgen Habermas. Er verstarb im hohen Alter von 96 Jahren und gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er war ein kritischer Beobachter der Gesellschaft, der das politische Denken und die geistige Grundlage der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wesentlich beeinflusst hat. Entsprechend groß ist die öffentliche Anteilnahme über seinen Tod und im öffentlichen Bedauern schwingt die Ahnung mit, dass uns mit Jürgen Habermas eine Art Philosoph verlassen hat, die es so eigentlich nicht mehr gibt. Wenn man an die großen Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts zurückdenkt, dann denkt man an Leute wie Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Theodor W. Adorno, Karl Jaspers, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir oder Hannah Arendt …, um nur einige zu nennen. Wie Habermas verkörperten sie alle eine sehr breite und tiefe philosophische Bildung, die ihren Äußerungen eine Art von Größe, vielleicht sogar Monumentalität gab, die man bei den aktuellen Philosophinnen und Philosophen oft vergeblich sucht und folglich wenig findet. Jürgen Habermas scheint mit seinen 96 Jahren der letzte einer nun ausgestorbenen Art zu sein. Doch … warum gibt es heute keine Philosophen mehr wie Habermas? Dies ist der Titel eines Blog-Beitrages, von Michael Rasche, der mich nachdenklich stimmte. Daher lud ich Michael Rasche zu einem spontanen Podcast-Gespräch ein, um mit ihm über seine Gedanken zu dieser Frage in den Austausch zu gehen. Michael Rasche ist promovierter kath. Theologe & Philosoph und schrieb seine Habilitation zum Thema „Rhetorik und Philosophie“. Er ist als philosophischer Unternehmens- und Organisationsberater tätig, wirkt auch als Autor und Privatdozent. Wir sprachen über Lesen, Schrift, KI, das Internet, Vernunft, Wahrheit und Politik. Und zur Politik gingen wir etwas mehr in die Tiefe … So kamen wir zur Politik als Spiel, als Lügerei und als verlogene Show. Schließlich sprachen wir über Habermas` Enttäuschung und Ratlosigkeit zum Ende seines Lebens und, ob Immanuel Kant heute noch eine Chance im Wissenschaftsbereich hätte … Lassen Sie sich vom Podcast-Gespräch neugierig denkend stimmen … Herzlichst Claudia Lutschewitz
In this new Book Talks episode, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen is back to help me review a new art book: Jack Whitten: Notes From the Woodshed, Edited by Katy Siegel for Hauser & Wirth. Equal parts profound, strident and hilarious, Jack Whitten's (1939-2018) 50 year studio log packs a wallop. And it's meaty at 581 pages, so we had lots to discuss! Stick around to hear some sage advice, inspiring tales of studio experimentation and even some positive affirmations from this incredible painter and sculptor.Links to shows, videos, articles mentioned:"Jack Whitten: The Messenger" Exhibition at MOMA 2025"Jack Whitten: Ready-nows" Two Coats of Paint BlogXerox PARC Artist-in-Residence (PAIR) programJack Whitten – ‘The Political is in the Work' by TateShotsJack Whitten: An Artist's Life | Art21 "Extended Play"Uncovering Jack Whitten's mysterious abstractions | HOW TO SEE (MOMA)Artists mentioned: Willlem DeKooning, Robert Blackburn, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Barnett Newman, Franz Kline, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra, Ron Gorchov, Sol Lewitt, Frank Stella, Caravaggio, Berrisford Boothe, Kerry Downey, Amy Sillman, Jake BerthotWhitten works mentioned: "The Messenger: For Art Blakey," "Homecoming: For Miles," "Black Monolith 2: Homage to Ralph Ellison, The Invisible Man," "Head IV Lynching," Homage to Malcolm," "King's Wish (Martin Luther's Dream)," "King's Garden," The Slab Paintings, "Asa's Palace," Gray Paintings, Greek Alphabet Paintings, "Dead Reckoning I," "9-11-01," "Apps for Obama," "Nine Fire CDS: For the Fire Spitter (Jane Cortez)," "Zeitgeist Traps (For Michael Goldberg)," "Quantum Wall VIII for Arshile Gorky (My First Love in Painting)," "Crystal Palace: For Jeanne Siegel"Philosophers Jack loved: Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger, Edmund Husserl, Taha Hussein (Egyptian, Arab Renaissance), Friedrich Nietzsche, Slavoj ŽižekOther artist logs: Day Book by Anne TruittThe Andy Warhol Diaries Edited by Pat HackettPhilip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures and Conversations Edited by Clark Coolidge Agnes Martin: Painting, Writings, Remembrances Edited by Arne GlimcherWhere to get the book:Hauser & Wirth , Abe Books, Thrift Books, Ebay, AmazonPlease find Mandolyn Wilson Rosen online here: mandolynwilsonrosen.com and IG @mandolyn_rosenThank you, Mandy!

A full century ago, a young and relatively unknown philosophy instructor in a small town in Germany would publish a book that would be swiftly picked up and radically reshape the intellectual landscape around it. Everything published before could now be reread in a new light, while everything after would often be seen as a sort of development in response to this book. Its author was Martin Heidegger, and the book was his Being and Time (Yale UP, 2026), one of the most important and influential works in the history of philosophy. Due to the difficulty of the text, filled with dense neologisms or unconventional uses of common terms, Heidegger's work has proven a consistent challenge for any translator trying to render him in English. The first attempt was by John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson in 1962, with a repeated attempt by one of Heidegger's students, Joan Stambaugh, arriving in 1995, with revisions by Dennis Schmidt in 2010. Now in 2026, Cyril Welch has brought his own translation to publication. Initial work began several decades ago in his classroom where he was trying to teach the text, and so he started offering up his own translations of key passages for his students. Over time these translations were revised and added to until eventually he found he had enough to consider formal publication. The publication was held back for some time, but now is finally able to come to light, giving both seasoned and fresh readers of Heidegger a chance to read his work anew. Cyril Welch is professor emeritus of philosophy at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textIn deze aflevering van DeepDive bespreekt Ab Gietelink met filosoof Ad Verbrugge zijn laatste studie De Gezagscrisis - filosofisch essay over een wankele orde. Verbrugge studeerde filosofie in Leiden en promoveerde op Sein und Zeit van Martin Heidegger, een van de meest invloedrijke en complexe werken uit de twintigste-eeuwse filosofie. Hij doceert filosofie aan de Vrije Universiteit en schreef eerder onder meer Staat van verwarring en Tijd van onbehagen. Daarnaast is hij medeoprichter van Beter Onderwijs Nederland, bekend van het televisieprogramma Het Filosofisch Kwintet en initiatiefnemer van het platform De Nieuwe Wereld. Minder bekend, maar niet minder relevant, is zijn achtergrond als muzikant. In De Gezagscrisis analyseert Verbrugge de maatschappelijke en culturele ontwikkelingen sinds de jaren zestig en stelt hij scherpe vragen over autoriteit, onderwijs, politiek en zingeving. https://www.boom.nl/filosofie/100-14068_De-gezagscrisis Support the showWaardeer je deze video('s)?

NATO's Meaning and Existence: Within the Interstate Intersubjectivity (Vernon Press, 2026) a forthcoming 2026 book by Yunus Emre Ozigci, offers a deep analysis of NATO's identity and role, suggesting it's stuck in bureaucratic inertia despite modern crises, aiming to redefine its purpose through exploring shared identity and transformation, particularly in the context of Russia's actions. This scholarly work uses intersubjectivity to understand how NATO's internal dynamics and external relations, especially concerning the Ukraine conflict, shape its meaning beyond mere military power, potentially moving beyond traditional IR theories to explore collective identity and systemic challenges. In NATO's Meaning and Existence: Within the Interstate Intersubjectivity (2026), Ozigci treats NATO as an intersubjective phenomenon rather than an objective entity. To him, NATO “does not exist objectively” but rather appears “meaningfully through intersubjective recognition.” His skillful integration of philosophical innovations from such thinkers as Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Jean-Paul Sartre supports his deep insights into Kenneth Waltz's structural interpretations of the balance of power, John Mearsheimer's offensive realism, and Robert Keohane's complex interdependence and invites readers to reconsider how alliances exist beyond the surface of policy and power. This work reminds us that NATO's real strength does not necessarily come from being the most efficient military structure in the world, promoting those who excel at following orders, but rather from its ingenuity, resourcefulness, and unity of purpose. His study provides a rare synthesis of diplomatic experience and philosophical depth, inviting readers to reconsider how alliances exist beyond the surface of policy and power. This is an original, meticulously argued, and intellectually stimulating contribution to both NATO studies and the philosophy of international relations. Piotr Pietrzak, Ph.D. -- In Statu Nascendi Think Tank Yunus Emre Ozigci holds a PhD degree in Political Sciences from the Université catholique de Louvain. He graduated from the Galatasaray University (International relations) and completed his MA studies at the University of Ankara (International relations). His research interests and publications cover the IR theory and phenomenology. Since 2000, he has been working as a diplomat in the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served, besides various departments of the Ministry, in Algeria, Belgium, Switzerland and Russia. Currently, he is the First Counsellor of the Turkish Embassy in Nairobi and Deputy Permanent Representative to UNON (UNEP and UN-Habitat).

Friends of the Rosary,Saints are like anyone else, despite how we consider them as spiritual heroes preserved from our day-to-day activities. They struggled with the same things we do, and loved the same things we do. They are not simply models to be admired.There are saints in ordinary life, in art and poetry, in motherhood, psychology, and even politics. There is a huge diversity. Each one uniquely reflects some aspect of the divine reality.The only difference is that they were smart enough to understand that what finally matters is having a holy life by being the person that God wants us to be.Above all, the saints are friends of God.And we can find a saint who is like every one of us.Léon Bloy wrote, "There is only one sadness, and that is not to be saints."Let's keep in mind that only people in heaven will be saints.Bishop Barron wrote about the diversity of saints:"There is Thomas Aquinas, the towering intellectual, and there is the Curé d'Ars, who barely made it through the seminary. There is Vincent de Paul, a saint in the city, and there is Antony, who found sanctity in the harshness and loneliness of the desert. There is Bernard, kneeling on the hard stones of Clairvaux in penance for sins, and there is Hildegard of Bingen, singing and throwing flowers, madly in love with God. There is Peter, the hard-nosed and no-nonsense fisherman, and there is Edith Stein, secretary to Edmund Husserl and colleague to Martin Heidegger, one of the most famous philosophers of the twentieth century. There is Joan of Arc leading armies, and there is Francis of Assisi channeling peace. There is the irascible Jerome and the almost too sweet Thérèse of Lisieux. There is Catherine of Siena, who stood up to popes, and Celestine V, who only reluctantly became pope. There is the grave and serious Bruno, and there is Philip Neri, whose spirituality was based on laughter."Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

The Story Science Forgot: Why Psychotherapy Needs Narrative More Than Ever by Joel Blackstock LICSW-S MSW PIP no. 4135C-S | Dec 15, 2025 | 0 comments Joseph Campbell is arguably one of the most influential intellectuals of the twentieth century. If you have watched a Marvel movie or read a modern fantasy novel or sat in a screenwriter's workshop you have encountered his fingerprints. George Lucas explicitly credited Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces as the structural backbone of Star Wars. Every major Hollywood studio has copies of his work floating around their development offices. Even filmmakers who actively deconstruct his monomyth model still have to be in conversation with Campbell to do so. You cannot escape him if you are telling stories in the Western tradition. But here is the thing about Joseph Campbell that we need to hold in our minds when we think about what psychology has become. He was a showman. He was a legitimate scholar but also someone who understood that the truth sometimes needs a little theatrical assistance. The Showman and the Bear Bones One of Campbell's favorite presentation techniques involved showing an image of ancient bear bones that were perhaps two million years old and discovered in a cave. The bones had been arranged in a particular way with pieces shoved back into the bear's mouth. Campbell would present this with his characteristic gravitas and explain that the ancients understood that nature must eat of itself. They knew that to take life is to participate in a cyclical loop of giving and receiving. The bear consuming itself was a ritual recognition that we are all food for something else. It is a beautiful interpretation. It is probably even partially true. We know through depth psychology and early anthropology that prehistoric humans were almost certainly trying to make meaning of existential realities. Ritual practices around death and consumption are well documented across cultures. Campbell was not fabricating this from nothing. But also come on Campbell. These are two million year old bones shoved in a hole. Maybe the jaw just collapsed that way. Maybe soil shifted. Maybe an animal disturbed them centuries after burial. He did not know. He could not know. And yet he presented it with the confidence of revealed truth. Here is why this matters. Campbell's influence is incalculable despite his methodological looseness. He told a story that resonated so deeply with something in the human psyche that it became the invisible architecture of our entire entertainment industry. He was not objectively right about those bear bones but he was pointing at something real about how humans make meaning. The story he told about that meaning making was more powerful than any peer reviewed paper could have been. We need to remember this when we think about psychotherapy and what it has become. The Dream I Had and the World I Found When I first entered the field of psychotherapy I had a fantasy. I thought I was going to be Joseph Campbell. I was going to find my way to someplace like Berkeley and immerse myself in the grand conversation between psychology and mythology and anthropology and philosophy. I imagined something like the Esalen Institute in the 1970s where Fritz Perls developed Gestalt therapy and where researchers and mystics and clinicians sat together in hot springs and argued about the nature of consciousness. Those places barely exist anymore. What I found instead was a competitive model built on H-indexes and impact factors. I found academic departments that had been siloed into increasingly narrow specializations. Each department defended its territorial boundaries against incursion from neighboring disciplines. The institute model where a psychologist might spend an afternoon talking to an anthropologist about ritual has been systematically dismantled. What we have instead are specialists who do not read outside their sub specialty and researchers whose entire careers depend on defending one narrow hypothesis. We have an incentive structure that actively punishes the kind of cross pollination that leads to genuine discovery. The Hollow Room: How the Biomedical Model Fails This is not just an academic inconvenience. It is a catastrophe for the human sciences and for the actual treatment of patients. There is a reason Freud stuck around. It is not because psychoanalysis was rigorously validated through randomized controlled trials. It is because as the science writer John Horgan observed old paradigms die only when better paradigms replace them. Freud lives on because science has not produced a theory of and therapy for the mind potent enough to render psychoanalysis obsolete once and for all. The biomedical model promised us a better story. It told us that humans are biological machines and that suffering is just a mechanical malfunction. It promised that if we could just find the right neurotransmitter or the right gene we could fix the machine. But look at what that looks like in practice. It looks like the 15 minute medication management appointment. A person comes in with their life falling apart. They are grieving a divorce or wrestling with the trauma of their childhood or facing a crisis of meaning. And the doctor looks at a checklist. They ask about sleep. They ask about appetite. They ask about energy levels. They treat the symptoms like check engine lights on a dashboard. They prescribe a pill to dim the lights and they send the person away. It looks like manualized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is the gold standard of evidence based treatment. But in the vacuum of a manual it becomes absurd. A patient might be crying about the loss of a child and a therapist who is strictly adhering to the protocol has to redirect them to the agenda for Module 3 which is identifying cognitive distortions. The model has no room for the tragedy of the situation. It only has room for the erroneous thought that the patient is having about the tragedy. The result is that by most measures we are not actually helping people more effectively than we were fifty years ago. To understand the depth of this failure, we must look at the “smoking gun” of the psychiatric establishment: the STAR*D study. For nearly two decades, this massive, taxpayer-funded study was held up as the irrefutable proof that the “medication merry-go-round” worked. It cost $35 million and was cited thousands of times to justify the idea that if a patient didn't get better on one antidepressant, you simply switched them to another, and then another. The study claimed a “cumulative remission rate” of 67%. It told us that two-thirds of people would be cured if they just complied with the protocol. This was a lie built on methodological quicksand. A forensic re-analysis of the data (Pigott et al., 2023) revealed that the researchers had inflated their success rates through a series of stunning methodological sleights of hand. The original design called for the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) to be the primary outcome measure. But when that scale wasn't showing the numbers they wanted, investigators switched to a secondary, unblinded, self-report questionnaire (the QIDS-SR) which painted a rosier picture. Furthermore, the re-analysis exposed that hundreds of patients who dropped out due to side effects were excluded from the failure count, effectively scrubbing the negative data. Even worse, over 900 patients who didn't even meet the minimum severity for depression were included to boost the numbers. When the data was re-analyzed using the study's original criteria and including all participants, the cumulative remission rate plummeted from 67% to 35%. But the most damning statistic is the sustained recovery rate. Of the 4,041 patients who entered the trial, only a tiny fraction achieved remission and actually stayed well. When accounting for dropouts and relapses over the one-year follow-up period, a mere 108 patients achieved remission and stayed well without relapsing. That is a sustained recovery rate of 2.7%. If a heart surgery or cancer treatment had a failure rate of 97.3%, it would be abandoned. Yet, this study was championed by investigators with deep financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry, and the results were codified into clinical guidelines that still rule the profession today. This is the indictment: we have built an entire system of care on a statistical fabrication, prioritizing the protection of the model over the healing of the human. I have big problems with Freud. I have big problems with classical psychoanalysis. I am more of a Jungian. But here is what the depth psychologists understood that the biomedical model forgot. Humans are not just biological machines. We are meaning making creatures who navigate the world through story. When you take away our stories you do not make us more rational. You make us lost. The Flock of Dodos This separation of science from narrative has hurt the researchers too. In his book The Ghost Lab journalist Matt Hongoltz-Hetling uses the flock of dodos metaphor to describe this phenomenon. He argues that specialized creatures that are perfectly adapted to narrow environments become extinct when conditions change. Academic science has become a flock of dodos. A neuroscientist studies one particular brain region. A psychologist studies one particular therapeutic intervention. An anthropologist studies one particular culture. Nobody is allowed to step back and ask what all of this means together. When you silo information into separate academic disciplines instead of organizing it into a holistic understanding you kill the narratives that are already there. You cannot see the story until you step back far enough to recognize the pattern. Heidegger and the AI Bubble One of the primary functions of a subjective narrative in an objective field like psychotherapy is that it lets us start with things we consider self evident. These are things that do not need evidence because they are the ground upon which evidence stands. Things like humanity is important. Things like we contain multiplicities and conflicting parts. Things like consciousness is a mystery. The biomedical model has no way to accommodate these self evident truths because they are not measurable. You cannot run a randomized controlled trial on human dignity. Martin Heidegger understood this trajectory. He warned that science and technology were becoming self justifying systems that asked only whether something could be done and never whether it should be done. We are watching this play out right now with Large Language Models and Artificial Intelligence. The tech industry is boiling seawater and consuming enormous amounts of our remaining resources to build ever larger systems. As Ed Zitron has documented the current AI boom is likely a bubble that will crash and burn. It may leave us with a Google monopoly on Gemini that will not actually help anybody. Should we be doing this? Should we be fundamentally restructuring our economy around technology whose benefits are speculative at best? The Heideggerian answer is that we are not even capable of asking these questions properly because we have lost the narrative framework within which “should” makes sense. When everything is reduced to capability and efficiency the concept of values disappears. The Perennial and the Possible Can we just recognize that having a livable planet is probably a self evidencing goal? Can we recognize that having a psychotherapy willing to engage with perennial philosophy might be more valuable than another meta analysis demonstrating small effect sizes for manualized interventions? This is what I mean by reintroducing narrative. I do not mean replacing evidence with myth. I mean recognizing that the facts do not speak for themselves. Data requires interpretation. Interpretation requires a framework. And frameworks are stories about what matters. The story science forgot is the story of science itself. It is the story of how inquiry emerged from human communities trying to understand their world. We can recover this story. We can rebuild the connections that the academic silos have severed. The path is there. It always has been. We just need to be brave enough to walk it. The Exodus of the Sick If academic science has become a flock of dodos clinical practice has become something arguably worse. It has become a reenactment of the Milgram experiment where the system plays the role of the authority figure and the patient plays the victim. We often remember Stanley Milgram's famous 1961 study as a lesson about the capacity for evil but its deeper lesson was about the capacity for distance. When the subject had to physically touch the victim compliance with the order to harm them dropped to 30 percent. The White Coat only retained its authority when it created a buffer between the human actions and their consequences. Modern psychotherapy has built a massive administrative White Coat that separates the healer from the healed. This is not just a metaphor. It is a structural reality that is actively driving patients out of the profession and into the arms of pseudoscience. The Bureaucracy as Trauma For a patient in crisis the Evidence Based system often functions as a machine of exclusion. A study on healthcare administrative burdens reveals that the psychological cost of navigating billing and insurance denials and intake forms acts as a friction that hits the most vulnerable the hardest. We ask trauma survivors to retell their stories to three different intake coordinators before they ever see a therapist. This process is itself retraumatizing. When they finally reach a provider they are often met with the biomedical gaze which is a checklist driven assessment that reduces their complex narrative of suffering to a code for billing. As the Australian Psychological Society has noted the chemical imbalance theory and the medicalization of distress have failed to reduce stigma and have instead left patients feeling defective and unheard. The result is a profound Low Trust environment. Theodore Porter in his book Trust in Numbers argues that we only rely on strict mechanical numbers when we do not trust people. We use the DSM and manualized protocols because insurers do not trust clinicians to judge and clinicians do not trust themselves to deviate. The Great Split: Why Research and Practice Are Divorcing This creates a fundamental schism that explains why the profession feels like it is cracking in half. On one side you have the academic researchers who are incentivized by grant funding and publication metrics. To get these rewards they must isolate variables and create reproducible manualized protocols. This means they must strip away the very thing that makes therapy work which is the messy and unrepeatable human relationship. On the other side you have the clinicians who are incentivized by patient outcomes. They are in the room with the messiness. They see that the manualized protocol fails the complex trauma patient so they improvise. They integrate. They use intuition. The academic looks at the clinician and sees a cowboy who ignores the data. The clinician looks at the academic and sees a bureaucrat who has never treated a suicidal patient. This is why the research is no longer informing the practice. We have created two different languages. The researcher speaks in p-values and population averages while the clinician speaks in case studies and individual breakthroughs. Why Pseudoscience Wins the Trust War This low trust environment creates a vacuum that wellness influencers are all too happy to fill. We often mock the public for turning to unverified supplements and TikTok diagnosticians and quantum mysticism. But we have to ask what these influencers are providing that we are not. They are providing narrative. They are providing connection. They are providing a. parasocial yes but still, High Trust experience. A recent analysis suggests that wellness fads thrive not because people are stupid but because the influencers offer a feeling of personal validation that the medical system denies. Even AI chatbots are now being described by users as more humane than doctors because the AI listens to the whole story without looking at a watch or a checklist. When a patient is told by a doctor that their pain is idiopathic or psychosomatic because it does not show up on a lab test and then an influencer tells them I see you and I believe you and here is a story about why this is happening the patient will choose the influencer every time. The trust gap drives them away from care that might actually help and toward solutions that feel good but do nothing. The Clinician's Moral Injury This leaves the ethical psychotherapist in a state of moral injury. We are forced to participate in a system that we know is alienating the very people we are trying to help. We are trained to value the therapeutic alliance or the bond of trust above all else yet we work in a system designed to sever it with paperwork and time limits and standardized protocols. We have to put down the White Coat of administrative distance. We have to stop hiding behind the Evidence Based label when that label is being used to deny the reality of the person in front of us. Proposals for a Unified Future If we want to stop this exodus and heal the split we need specific structural changes. We cannot just hope for better insurance reimbursement. We need to change what we consider valid science. First we must re-legitimize the systematic case study. For a century the detailed narrative of a single patient was the gold standard of learning. We replaced it with the aggregate data of the randomized controlled trial. We need to bring it back. We need journals that publish rigorous detailed accounts of what actually happens in the room when a patient gets better. Second we need to build open source repositories for clinical observation. Currently the wisdom of the field is locked behind for profit paywalls or lost in the private notes of isolated therapists. We need a Wikipedia of Clinical Practice where thousands of clinicians can document what they are seeing in real time. If ten thousand therapists report that somatic processing helps complex trauma that is a data set that rivals any RCT. Third we need to teach philosophy and narrative in graduate school again. We are training technicians when we should be training healers. A therapist who knows how to read a spreadsheet but does not know how to understand a story is useless to a human being in crisis. If we do not offer a therapy that is human and narrative and deeply relational we will continue to lose our patients to those who do even if what they are offering is a lie. The Mirror and the Map: Why Math is a Story We often treat mathematics as if it were the bedrock of reality itself. We act as though a p-value is a piece of the universe, like a rock or a proton. But we must remember that math is not the thing itself. It is a representation of the thing. It is a map, not the territory. It is a mirror, not the face. Theodore Porter's work in Trust in Numbers reminds us that we reach for these mirrors when we do not trust our own eyes. But the mirror is useless without someone to look into it and interpret the reflection. Data by itself is pointless. It is a pile of bricks without an architect. It requires interpretation to become meaning, and interpretation is fundamentally a narrative act. When we try our best to make a purely objective study, we are still telling a story. We are saying, “These numbers represent this phenomenon.” Then another researcher comes along, looks at the same numbers, and tells a different story: “No, they represent that.” This conflict isn't a failure of science; it is science. The Storytellers of Science The greatest breakthroughs in history did not come from people who just crunched numbers. They came from people who could see the story the numbers were trying to tell. These stories are really damn interesting, often stranger and more beautiful than fiction. Consider August Kekulé. He didn't discover the structure of the benzene molecule by staring at a spreadsheet. He discovered it by dreaming of a snake eating its own tail—the Ouroboros. His subjective, narrative brain provided the image that unlocked the objective chemical reality. The data was there, but it needed a myth to make it intelligible. Look at Quantum Physics. The raw math of quantum mechanics is cold and abstract. But when physicists like Erwin Schrödinger or Werner Heisenberg looked at that data, they saw a story about uncertainty, about cats that are both alive and dead, about a universe that only decides what it is when it is observed. They didn't just calculate; they interpreted. They told a story about reality that was so radical it changed how we understand existence. Even in psychology, the data of the “talking cure” was messy and anecdotal until Freud and Jung gave us the language of the Unconscious and the Archetype. Were they objectively “right” in every detail? No. But they gave us a framework—a story—that allowed us to navigate the chaos of the human mind. They provided the map that allowed us to enter the territory. The Final Integration We have spent the last fifty years trying to strip this storytelling capacity out of our profession in a misguided attempt to be taken seriously by the “hard” sciences. In doing so, we have thrown away our most powerful tool. The brain is a story-processing machine. To treat it with checklists and spreadsheets is to deny its fundamental nature. We need to be brave enough to pick up the mirror again. We need to be brave enough to look at the data—whether it's the 2.7% recovery rate of STAR*D or the trembling pupil of a trauma patient—and ask, “What is the story here?” The path forward isn't about choosing between science and narrative. It is about realizing that science is a narrative. It is the grandest, most complex, most rigorous story we have ever tried to tell. And it is time we started telling it properly again.

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Harris Bechtol discuss the death of the other—and why Western philosophy has largely failed to take it seriously. Drawing from Bechtol's book A Death of the World: Surviving the Death of the Other, the conversation explores how grief, mourning, and loss are not merely private emotions but world-altering events that rupture time, memory, and meaning itself.Together, they examine Martin Heidegger's famous claim that when someone dies we are “merely nearby,” asking whether that view can really account for the lived reality of grief. Engaging thinkers like Heidegger, Derrida, Augustine, and Nicholas Wolterstorff, Dr. Bechtol reframes death as an event—an interruption that transforms the world for those who remain. The episode explores concepts like interruption, disruption, presence-of-absence, transactive memory, and why the loss of a loved one is never confined to a single moment in time.This conversation is especially relevant for anyone wrestling with grief, sudden loss, terminal illness, or the long aftermath of mourning. Rather than offering platitudes or stages to “get over” loss, Dr. Bechtol proposes an ethic of workless mourning—a way of living on after death that remains open to sorrow, surprise, and transformation. Philosophical yet deeply human, this episode speaks to theology, continental philosophy, grief studies, and the existential realities of surviving the death of someone you love.Make sure to check out Dr. Bechtol's book: A Death of the World: Surviving the Death of the Other
What does it mean when a radical understanding of National Socialism is inextricably embedded in the work of the twentieth century's most important philosopher? Martin Heidegger's sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movement's philosophical preceptor, "to lead the leader." Yet for years, Heidegger's defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines. They argued, in effect, that he was good at philosophy but bad at politics. But with the 2014 publication of Heidegger's "Black Notebooks," it has become clear that he embraced a far more radical vision of the conservative revolution than previously suspected. His dissatisfaction with National Socialism, it turns out, was mainly that it did not go far enough. The notebooks show that far from being separated from Nazism, Heidegger's philosophy was suffused with it. In Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology (Yale University Press, 2022), Richard Wolin explores what the notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas--and why his legacy remains radically compromised.

Straffbarhetsåldern har varit 15 år i över 100 år. Regeringen vill sänka den till 13 år för de som begår grova brott. Har barn som begår grova brott ett större ansvar för sina handlingar? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Åldersgränsen på 15 år har utgått ifrån den mognad som anses krävas för att kunna ta ansvar för brottsliga handlingar. Barn under 15 år kan begå brott, men de ska inte straffas utan i stället ska socialtjänsten ta ansvar. Om åldersgränsen nu sänks, innebär det en ny syn på barns mognad? Har barn som begår grova barn ett större ansvar för sina brott än barn som snattar?Regeringen och Sverigedemokraterna vill sänka straffbarhetsåldern för barn som begår grova brott, från 15 år till 13 år. Bakgrunden är den grova kriminaliteten där barn under 15 år har varit inblandade i mord och mordförsök. Vilken betydelse har det om ansvaret för barn som begår grova brott överförs från socialtjänsten till rättsväsendet? Är det en ny syn på straffets funktion? Argumentet för sänkt straffbarhetsålder är att man behöver skydda samhället, ge brottsoffren stärkt upprättelse och bättre förutsättningar att bryta kriminella mönster för de barn som begår grova brott. Förslaget från regeringen har möt massivt motstånd från en rad remissinstanser. Experterna pekar bland annat på att det inte kommer ha några positiva effekter på brottsligheten och eller på de barn som begår grova brott. Är fängelse för barn, som begår grova brott, en logisk följd av den ändrade syn på straff som vi ser nu från politiken?

Nuestro filósofo Toño Fraguas se detiene a pensar en algo tan esencial como el acto de preguntar. En 1984, el grupo Siniestro Total lanzó una batería de interrogantes que nos invitan a avanzar: ¿Quiénes somos? ¿De dónde venimos? ¿A dónde vamos? ¿Dónde estamos antes de nacer? ¿Dónde vamos después de morir? Preguntas que podrían ocupar toda una vida en busca de respuestas. Sin embargo, hoy el reto es aún más complejo: reflexionar sobre qué significa preguntar en sí mismo.En este camino aparece Martin Heidegger, filósofo alemán tan controvertido como inevitable. En una conferencia pronunciada en 1953 en la Academia Bávara de Bellas Artes, titulada La pregunta por la técnica, Heidegger afirmaba que “preguntar es estar construyendo un camino” y que “ese camino es un camino del pensar”.Escuchar audio
In this episode, Breht speaks with Dr. Richard Wolin, author of Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology, about the dark entanglement between Martin Heidegger's philosophy and his lifelong commitment to National Socialism. Heidegger is often hailed as the most important philosopher of the 20th century, yet his work was deeply shaped by the reactionary politics of his time. Wolin explains how Heidegger's central ideas -- Being, Dasein, authenticity, rootedness, and the "decline of the West" -- became intertwined with fascist notions of destiny, hierarchy, and belonging. They discuss the long history of attempts to sanitize Heidegger's record, what the Black Notebooks reveal about his true convictions, the interwar period in Germany and the conservative revolution, Heidegger's spiritual racism, and how the same civilizational despair and longing for renewal echo through today's far-right political movements. This conversation explores how the search for meaning and authenticity, when divorced from solidarity and democracy, can turn toward reactionary myth-making, hierarchical exclusion, and fascist authoritarianism.

In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we sit down with artist Tom Pazderka — a Czech-American painter, sculptor, writer and thinker whose journey from communist Czechoslovakia to America as a teenager has deeply shaped his practice. Born in Český Brod in 1981 and emigrating to the U.S. at age 12, Pazderka says those early years of dual identity and upheaval still echo in his work. LUM+4LUM+4MeetFactory+4We explore his recent achievements — his solo exhibition at the Carolyn Glasoe Bailey Foundation and his award of a residency at Taft Gardens — and how his practice engages with themes of memory, ideology, home and the stark beauty of process. (Pazderka often burns wood panels, layers ash and oil paint and works in monochrome to evoke both the material and metaphoric weight of his experience.) Bender Gallery+1We also talk about how Ojai has become both studio and sanctuary — how the landscape and quiet enable his reflections, and how this community intersects with his work of reinvention, belonging and creation. Join us for a rich conversation about art, exile, finding home and making something new out of what we leave behind.We also talked about El Chapo Traphouse, Slavoj Zizek and Metal Gear Solid. We did not talk about Rene Girard, Martin Heidegger or Grand Theft Auto 6.Learn more about Tom and his art at https://tompazderka.com/home.html
This episode features Dr. David Bentley Hart discussing his book, The Light of Tabor: Notes Towards a Monist Christology. Hart explains his theological project as deconstructing centuries of Christological debate to move past dualistic tensions that separate the divine and human. He argues for a "radically monistic" understanding of the Incarnation, where Christ's perfect human identity is wholly and eternally transparent to the Logos.DBH's youtube channel : @leavesinthewind7441 DBH's substack - https://substack.com/@davidbentleyhart We mention Jordan Daniel Wood, Arius, Eunomius, Paul the Apostle, John the Apostle, Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine of Hippo, Philip the Chancellor, John of St. Palmus, Aristotle, Carl Bart, Meister Eckhart, Sergei Bulgakov, Vladimir Solovyov, Sarah O'Rean, Yakob Boehme, Martin Heidegger, John Milbank, Cyril of Alexandria, Pope Leo I, Gregory of Nazianzus, John Behr and more.
Paul Axton preaches: John identifies Jesus as the the rejected Logos, which means he is not the Greek logos, the Jewish logos, the philosophical logos, or the religious logos, or the logic, language, reason, or word that grounds this world's systems of human thought. Martin Heidegger is the prime example of recognizing the violence of the Greek logos, and then of presuming the Logos of Christ is a continuation of the same. René Girard brings out the absolute difference, developed most completely by Anthony Bartlett. If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work. Become a Patron!
The British author and journalist Oliver Burkeman has spent decades pondering what it means to live a meaningful life, both in his former Guardian column “This Column WIll Change Your Life” and across several books—most recently, Meditations for Mortals, out in paperback this October. That's why he brings a healthy dose of skepticism to so-called “time management” systems and productivity hacks as a means toward true fulfillment. Burkeman's compelled by the notion that, rather than being separate from time, human beings are time. If people faced the reality of their limited time on the planet head on, he believes there's a real chance to experience greater, more engaged feelings of aliveness.On the episode—our Season 12 kick-off—Burkeman discusses why he's eschewing perfectionism and finding unexpected liberation in the premise that, to some extent, the worst has already happened, and the best may still be ahead.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Oliver Burkeman[4:26] “Meditations for Mortals” (2024)[6:48] Donald Winnicott[7:46] Martin Heidegger[7:46] "Technics and Civilization" (2010)[7:46] “Being and Time” (1927)[7:46] “Time Warrior” (2011)[7:46] “Time Surfing” (2017)[7:46] “Anti-Time Management” (2022)[10:14] Medieval peasants[10:14] “The 4-Hour Workweek”[13:18] Alicja Kwade[19:23] “Ichi-go, ichi-e” (“one time, one meeting”)[22:00] Eckhart Tolle[22:36] Agnes Martin[23:28] “The Road Not Taken”[40:03] “This Column Will Change Your Life”[51:00] Nicholas Carr[51:00] Clay Shirky[53:40] Jennifer Roberts[59:04] Pomodoro Technique [59:13] Kanban[1:01:33] James Hollis[1:02:40] Alfred Adler[1:02:40] “The Courage to Be Disliked” (2024)[1:06:24] Stoicism
In this episode I look at Heidegger's theories about the role of the poet in carrying the message of the gods to the people, as described in his 1936 essay Holderlin and the Essence of Poetry.
What is an emotion? In his Sketches for a Theory of the Emotions (1939), Sartre picks up what William James, Martin Heidegger and others had written about this question to suggest what he believed to be a new thought on human emotion and its relation to consciousness. For Sartre, the emotions are not external forces acting upon consciousness but an action of consciousness as it tries to rearrange the world to suit itself, or as he puts it at the end of his book: a sudden fall of consciousness into magic. In this episode Jonathan and James discuss why Sartre's rejection of the idea of the subconscious is not as much a departure from Freud's theories as he thought they were, and the ways in which his attempt to establish a ‘phenomenological psychology' manifested in other works, including Nausea, Being and Nothingness and The Words. Note: Readers should use the translation by Philip Mairet. The earlier one by Bernard Frechtman, as Jonathan explains in the episode, contains numerous (often amusing) errors.

What does it mean for a jug to be a jug? Or for any thing to be called a ‘thing'? In his 1950 lecture ‘Das Ding', Heidegger attempts to cajole his audience away from their everyday way of seeing the world as consisting of objects that can be represented objectively, and into the kind of thinking that ‘responds and recalls'. For Heidegger, the world we experience is one of dynamic movement between revelation and concealment, where the essential nature of a thing lies in its ‘thinging', and the ‘jug's jug character consists in the poured gift of the jug's pouring out'. In this episode Jonathan and James work through Heidegger's ideas about both ‘things' and time, and consider the purpose of his poetic style.
