É possível ser feliz em um mundo caótico? Quando olhamos para a realidade à nossa volta e acompanhamos as notícias sobre o mundo, percebemos que há muito a ser transformado. Temos consciência de que grande parte de nossos problemas é de origem social e requer soluções coletivas, mas o que fazer? Esgotar toda nossa energia para transformar as condições sociais causadoras dos desconfortos de nossas almas? Ou buscar cuidar de nós mesmos e viver da melhor forma possível no mundo como está e na época em que nascemos? * Pequena correção: Por volta dos 00:50 queremos dizer "grande parte de nossos problemas é de origem social...". Ao reformular a frase na revisão do script, o erro de concordância passou despercebido.
Un livre, Un lecteur, émission présentée par Florence Berthout. Elle reçoit Karima Ben Cheikh qui présentera le livre « M. Vertigo » de Paul Auster À propos du livre : « M. Vertigo » paru aux éditions Actes sud « Tu ne vaux pas mieux qu'un animal. Si tu restes où tu es, tu seras mort avant la fin de l'hiver. Si tu viens avec moi, je t'apprendrai à voler. » Ainsi le vieux Yehudi s'adresse-t-il à Walt, neuf ans, un gamin misérable des rues de Saint Louis. Il tiendra sa promesse. À l'issue d'un apprentissage impitoyablement cruel, Walt deviendra un phénomène célèbre dans toute l'Amérique. Et c'est elle – cette Amérique violente et misérable, sauvage et naïve des années 1920 et 1930 – que le romancier de Léviathan nous convie à découvrir sur les traces de ses étranges héros. L'Amérique du Ku Klux Klan et du jazz, des gangsters et du cinéma. Revisitée par un écrivain qui, sans cesser d'être lui-même, reprend ici la tradition de Mark Twain et de Steinbeck pour nous raconter une histoire captivante – juste assez étrange pour que nous ne puissions l'oublier... Paul Auster est un écrivain américain, né dans le New Jersey en 1947. Après des études de lettres à la Columbia University, il se lance dans l'écriture de poèmes et de scénarios. Entre 1971 et 1975, il s'installe à Paris où il traduit des auteurs comme Mallarmé et Sartre, et publie son premier recueil de poèmes : Unearth. Sa carrière littéraire s'envole en 1985 avec la parution de sa Trilogie new-yorkaise qui sera suivie de nombreux autres succès comme Moon Palace ou encore Léviathan qui obtient le prix Médicis étranger en 1993. Également passionné par le cinéma, il participe au tournage de Smoke et réalise Lulu on the Bridge. Invisible, son dernier roman, a reçu un accueil critique et public unanime.
Nouveau rendez-vous avec la revue ESPRIT dans ce numéro. Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit en effet Anne-Lorraine Bujon, sa directrice pour parler du numéro de janvier-février de la revue partenaire de l'émission et, notamment, du dossier intitulé « Penser avec Frantz Fanon » un peu plus de cent ans après la naissance de ce penseur dans l'action. Coordonné par la philosophe Magali Bessone, il interroge la puissance toujours actuelle d'une œuvre née dans un contexte historique singulier et pourtant capable d'éclairer les impasses politiques, sociales et psychiques du présent. Figure majeure de la pensée anticoloniale, psychiatre, théoricien de la violence, analyste des mécanismes d'aliénation et de déshumanisation, Frantz Fanon nous interpelle toujours. Fait important : il est l'auteur d'articles publiés dans ESPRIT au début des années 50. Au fil des contributions, la revue nous explique pourquoi l'œuvre de ce médecin, intellectuel engagé dans la lutte pour l'indépendance algérienne auprès du FLN – continue de résonner dans un monde où les formes de domination persistent. Loin d'être un penseur figé dans les années 1950‑60, Frantz Fanon nous offre encore des outils conceptuels pour penser la persistance des hiérarchies raciales dans les sociétés contemporaines, les nouvelles formes de dépossession liées à la mondialisation néolibérale, la crise des subjectivités, entre violence intériorisée et quête de reconnaissance, la question de la désaliénation, horizon politique et anthropologique que Fanon n'a cessé de reformuler. Plusieurs articles soulignent que Fanon nous offre un regard neuf pour comprendre la longue liste des crises actuelles : violences policières et institutionnelles, qui réactivent la question des « corps racialisés » ; migrations et les frontières, où se rejouent des logiques de tri et de déshumanisation, fractures géopolitiques, montée des nationalismes, qui renoue avec des imaginaires d'exclusion. Le dossier ne se contente pas d'actualiser Fanon : il interroge aussi les limites de son héritage, notamment sa conception de la violence libératrice ou sa vision parfois homogénéisante du « peuple ». Au micro d'Idées, Anne-Lorraine Bujon revient aussi sur l'influence de Sartre sur cet intellectuel mort trop jeune et réciproquement. Ce numéro d'Esprit montre que penser avec Fanon, ce n'est ni répéter ses concepts ni sacraliser son héritage. C'est réactiver une pensée de la désaliénation, attentive aux corps, aux institutions, aux violences visibles et invisibles.

Notas do subsolo, de Fiódor Dostoiévski é considerada uma das obras mais originais e revolucionárias da literatura, apresentando diversos temas filosóficos e antecipando os romances existencialistas.
An individual "is responsible for everything he does," claimed Sartre. And from criminal justice to creative expression, free will and responsibility are central to our culture and our personal lives. Yet neuroscientists and materialist thinkers commonly maintain that freedom is an illusion. And it remains unknown how the core principles of freedom and responsibility can be reconciled with this outlook. Many attempts have been made to argue that the two seemingly contradictory frameworks can be made compatible. But critics say these "compatibilist" arguments are unconvincing and are driven merely by the attempt to make scientific materialism acceptable. Furthermore, whilst surveys suggest most materialist philosophers believe we can reconcile the two, the majority of us reject the idea that an action can be both determined and free.Paul Bloom is a Canadian-American psychologist, bestselling author, and celebrated speaker.

Quand le succès devient une prison : naviguer la transition identitaire entrepreneurialeDans cet épisode solo, je te parle d'un sujet encore trop peu nommé dans l'entrepreneuriat : le moment où le succès devient une prison.Ce moment où ton business fonctionne. Le chiffre d'affaires est là, la reconnaissance aussi. Mais à l'intérieur… quelque chose ne sonne plus juste.Je te partage pourquoi le brown-out entrepreneurial n'est pas un problème de gestion du temps, mais le symptôme d'une crise identitaire profonde. Et pourquoi plus on réussit, plus il devient difficile de changer (même quand continuer nous étouffe).À travers des références philosophiques (Héraclite, Sartre, Kierkegaard, Jung) et mon histoire personnelle — celle où j'ai dû déconstruire une identité entière pour ne pas me perdre — je t'invite à regarder autrement ce malaise que beaucoup d'entrepreneurs vivent en silence.On ne parle pas de tout quitter. On ne parle pas de motivation bullshit.On parle de réalignement, de corps, d'identité, et des permissions que personne ne nous donne.

Vivemos em uma sociedade na qual as imagens possuem mais força que as próprias coisas que deveriam representar, sendo esta uma das principais características daquilo que o autor francês Guy Debord chamou de espetáculo.

Spekülatif'in bu bölümünde Emre Dündar, aydın nedir, entelektüel nedir, entel ne demek soruları üzerinden Türkiye'de aydın–entelektüel tartışmasının tarihsel kırılmalarını ele alıyor. Türkiye'de aydın, entelektüel ve “entel” kavramları nasıl birbirine karıştı? Dündar, “entel” kavramının popüler kültürle nasıl zehirli bir etikete dönüştüğünü, aydın ve entelektüel figürlerin neden itibarsızlaştırıldığını ve günümüz düşünce krizinin kültürel arka planını tartışıyor. Cemil Meriç ve Peyami Safa'dan Sartre, Foucault, Umberto Eco ve Italo Calvino'ya uzanan referanslarla, entelektüel kimliğin tarihsel rolü, popüler kültürün ve dijital çağın düşünce üretimini nasıl dönüştürdüğünü tartışıyor.

Minune! A apărut o nuvelă episoadă! Vom discuta despre Maladia Mortală (Sickness onto Death), cartea care i-a adus lui Kierkegaard titlul de "tăticul existențialismului", adică un precursor al lui Sartre și toți francezii cu țigareta între dinți. Întâmplător, după cum vom vedea, ne vom apleca și asupra întrebării who's your daddy, dar asta în altă ordine de idei... Vom încerca să definim sinele ca tensiune/opoziție care se conștientizează pe sine (știu, sună șpanky, dar voi explica) și vom identifica cele două mari tipuri de disperarea: disperarea slăbiciunii și disperarea sfidării. După care trecem la Noica și distincția dintre un sine și o sine! Ceva lejer așa, de sărbători, deci :__).Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/octavpopa
In this podcast we will be talking about 8 Life Lessons from Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre was one of the leading philosophers who followed the philosophy of Existentialism. One of Sartre's key-concepts that is discussed or prevalent in almost all of his existentialist works is the notion of “Bad Faith”, which he uses to describe and critique how most people tend to deny their own freedom. Alongside his notion of Bad Faith, Sartre has discussed many aspects of existentialism and ideas on human life that are extremely helpful. So with that in mind, in this video we bring you 8 important life lessons derived from the works of Sartre. 01. Dare to act 02. Face your freedom 03. Take responsibility 04. Set an example 05. Embrace your fears 06. Don't let others define you 07. Don't follow a doctrine 08. Embrace your nothingness I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 8 Life Lessons From Sartre will add value to your life. Jean-Paul Sartre was a French playwright, screenwriter, political activist, literary critic, and one of the leading philosophers who followed the philosophy of Existentialism: the philosophy that says that humans are born a blank slate and are free to determine their own identity, behavior and goals. Sartre was born in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century and when he was around sixty years old, he was awarded the1964 Nobel Prize in Literature. He however refused the prize, claiming that “a writer should never allow himself to become an institution.” Sartre wrote many fictional and non-fictional books, essays and gave lectures on Existentialism. Some of his noted works are: Nausea, Being and Nothingness, Existentialism is a Humanism, and No Exit.
Comme pour chaques vacances, je vous propose un best-of des épisodes qui ont été dernièrement enregistrés.Comme c'est la période de Noel, j'ai rajouté un petit biais plutôt feel-good et associé aux questionnements profonds.Charles Robin est philosophe et créateur de la chaîne YouTube « Le Précepteur », qui réunit aujourd'hui plus d'un million d'abonnés. Il s'est dernièrement intéressé à une thématique aussi fascinante que complexe : le hasard. C'est donc tout naturellement que j'ai eu envie de l'inviter pour plonger dans cette notion que nous utilisons tous, parfois à tort, souvent avec mystère.Dans cet épisode, nous nous interrogeons ensemble : est-ce que le hasard existe vraiment ? Ou est-ce simplement un mot que nous utilisons pour désigner ce que nous ne comprenons pas ?Charles, avec son approche pédagogique et nuancée, nous entraîne sur les traces de Spinoza, Sartre, Jung et d'autres penseurs majeurs pour explorer le déterminisme, la liberté, le sens et nos conditionnements, aussi bien sociaux que biologiques.J'ai voulu comprendre avec lui si donner du sens à une coïncidence était un acte rationnel ou une nécessité psychologique.Nous avons parlé de synchronicités, de loi de l'attraction, de spiritualité, mais aussi du besoin très humain de croire que certaines choses sont "destinées". Car au fond, dans un monde incertain et parfois brutal, n'est-ce pas réconfortant de penser que les signes existent pour nous guider ?Avec beaucoup de sincérité, Charles partage aussi son parcours : comment il a commencé à publier des vidéos de philo à une heure du matin, sans plan de carrière, juste porté par une envie de transmettre. Il parle de ses inspirations, de ses lectures, de ce que la philosophie peut nous apporter dans nos vies très concrètes, à travers nos relations amoureuses, nos colères en voiture ou nos moments d'échec.Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé dans cette discussion, c'est cette manière de ramener la pensée philosophique dans notre quotidien, avec simplicité et honnêteté. Nous avons aussi exploré des sujets qui me sont chers : la liberté réelle (ou illusoire), la responsabilité individuelle, le regard que l'on porte sur soi et sur les autres, et cette capacité à prendre du recul, à observer nos propres conditionnements pour mieux avancer.Un échange dense, humain, et profondément inspirant. À écouter si vous vous êtes déjà demandé pourquoi certaines choses vous arrivent, ou si vous voulez simplement apprendre à mieux comprendre votre propre façon de voir le monde.

Professor Bas van Fraassen argues science doesn't deliver literal truth about reality, meaning unobservable physics is merely a model. He also contends the self isn't a thing and that logic permits free will, ultimately sharing how he maintains faith in God without relying on metaphysics.

The new Netflix documentary 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning' profiling rapper, producer, and now convict P Diddy, has set the internet alight. We review the documentary, focusing on its themes of sexual violence and psychological control, behaviour that P Diddy got away with across four decades. We also discuss how the documentary presents a psychological profile of the real Sean Combs, someone who no matter what damage he caused, somehow managed to capitalise on it, only to cause more carnage. Plus, revenge as justice, malignant narcissism's sadism, Sartre, Freud's Totem and Taboo, mechanisms of financial and psychological control, how the American black middle-class utilise the black working-class and lumpen underclass in the entertainment industry, and at the end we give our own examples from leftwing politics of individuals who sought to psychologically wield power over others and the ‘tests' and tactics they would use.
Dans toute l'histoire du prix Nobel, deux hommes seulement ont pris la décision — libre, assumée, publique — de refuser l'une des distinctions les plus prestigieuses au monde : Jean-Paul Sartre en 1964 et Lê Duc Tho en 1973. Deux refus très différents, mais qui disent chacun quelque chose d'essentiel sur leur époque et sur leurs convictions.Le premier à franchir ce pas radical est Jean-Paul Sartre, philosophe et écrivain français, figure majeure de l'existentialisme. En 1964, l'Académie suédoise lui décerne le prix Nobel de littérature pour l'ensemble de son œuvre. La réaction de Sartre est immédiate : il refuse le prix. Non par modestie, mais par principe. Sartre a toujours refusé les distinctions officielles, estimant que l'écrivain doit rester libre, non récupéré par le pouvoir, les institutions ou la notoriété. Pour lui, accepter un prix comme le Nobel reviendrait à « devenir une institution », ce qui contredisait son engagement politique et intellectuel.Il avait d'ailleurs prévenu l'Académie, avant même l'annonce, qu'il ne souhaitait pas être nommé. Cela ne change rien : il est proclamé lauréat malgré lui. Sartre refuse alors publiquement, dans un geste retentissant. Ce refus est souvent perçu comme l'expression ultime d'une cohérence : l'écrivain engagé qui refuse d'être couronné. Ce geste, unique dans l'histoire de la littérature, marque durablement la réputation du philosophe, admiré ou critiqué pour son intransigeance.Neuf ans plus tard, c'est au tour de Lê Duc Tho, dirigeant vietnamien et négociateur lors des Accords de Paris, de refuser le prix Nobel de la paix. Le prix lui est attribué conjointement avec l'Américain Henry Kissinger pour les négociations qui auraient dû mettre fin à la guerre du Vietnam. Mais pour Lê Duc Tho, il n'y a pas de paix à célébrer. Les hostilités se poursuivent, les bombardements aussi. Refuser le Nobel devient alors un acte politique : il déclare ne pouvoir accepter un prix de la paix tant que la paix n'est pas réellement obtenue.Contrairement à Sartre, son refus n'est pas motivé par un principe personnel, mais par une analyse de la situation géopolitique. Son geste est moins philosophique que stratégique, mais tout aussi historique. Il reste le seul lauréat de la paix à avoir décliné le prix.Ces deux refus, rares et spectaculaires, rappellent que le prix Nobel, pourtant considéré comme l'une des plus hautes distinctions humaines, peut devenir un terrain d'expression politique ou morale. Sartre par conviction, Lê Duc Tho par cohérence historique : deux gestes, deux époques, deux refus qui ont marqué l'histoire du prix. Hébergé par Acast.

[PENSIERO E GENERAZIONI]
What if the renewed fascination with Domenico Losurdo says more about our appetite for stability than about Marxism's future? We sit down with Ross Wolfe to unpack how a Verso‑to‑Monthly Review pipeline, a revived faith in China's statecraft, and the polemical stretching of “Western Marxism” built a Dengist common sense on the contemporary left. The story runs through publishing politics, bad categories, and a philosophical move that recodes the twentieth century's defeats as proof that the state must be forever.We press on the scholarship: where Losurdo distorts Perry Anderson, ignores Russell Jacoby's tighter frame, and sidelines entire currents like British Marxism, the Situationists, and Johnson–Forest. We reopen the Italian debates—Operaismo, Tronti, Althusser—and ask whether Sartre's and workerist priorities were really blind to anti‑colonial struggle or simply refused to romanticize models that never fit advanced capitalism. From there, we tackle the hinge: Hegel's Philosophy of Right. Does it license a permanent state, or did Marx and Lenin get it right that the state's existence tracks class antagonism and should wither as class society is abolished?The conversation widens to strategy. We examine the labor‑aristocracy thesis, the quiet third‑worldism that relieves organizers of responsibility at home, and the way China's present contradictions—major trade with Israel, BRICS diplomacy, GDP slowdown, regional rivalries—undercut claims that socialism can be national. If history “could only go this way,” what is left to change? We make the case for rebuilding class independence and international coordination in the core and periphery alike, not lowering horizons to match yesterday's outcomes.Subscribe, share, and leave a review to keep these long‑form dives alive.

Thinking of the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, it is hard to think of him without imagining him in very particular contexts. One will likely imagine him in a Parisian cafe working through a pack of cigarettes and coffee, working on his latest play while waiting for his friend Pierre to arrive. His theories of freedom against the temptations of bad faith are thought to be theories of writers and activists, resisters of occupation. But while this is no doubt a central part of his thinking, it misses another context he was very much interested in: the clinic. While he was not an orthodox Freudian or trained analyst, he was deeply interested in many of the questions that psychoanalysts are also interested in, and this intersection proved to be very productive, generating thousands of pages of lesser known works. This is what Mary Edwards, philosophy lecturer at Cardiff University, has written about in her new book Sartre's Existential Psychoanalysis: Knowing Others (Bloomsbury, 2022). Working through Sartre's output from beginning to end, it first sets the stage with his early claims about the nature of the self and the possibility of knowing a person. From there, it works to his later works, in particular his voluminous yet unfinished biography of Gustave Flaubert, where Edwards finds Sartre developing and applying a very particular method of understanding a person while nonetheless maintaining a respect for their free nature. While Sartre never completed his intended project, Edwards finds his attempt suggestive for rethinking life both in and beyond the clinic. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dans IDÉES cette semaine, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit Gilles Hieronimus, docteur en Philosophie, auteur d'un «Que sais-je ?» sur Gaston Bachelard. Ce petit livre est une synthèse précise de l'œuvre du philosophe, articulée autour de sa double vocation scientifique et poétique. Cet ouvrage précieux éclaire la cohérence d'une pensée souvent jugée inclassable qu'il résume avec clarté dans l'émission. Gilles Hieronimus souligne le côté Janus de ce penseur hors-norme. «Deux images se superposent : celle de l'austère professeur de philosophie des sciences, astreint à la rigueur et à la prudence ; celle de l'ami enjoué des poètes et des artistes, réceptifs à leur audace et volontiers fantasque.», écrit-il à propos de ce personnage à la longue barbe blanche. Bachelard (1884–1962), figure majeure de la philosophie française du XXè siècle, est présenté comme un penseur subversif, dont la démarche réconcilie rigueur scientifique et liberté imaginative. Pour lui, il y a «l'homme rationaliste» et «l'homme de la nuit» et du rêve. Bachelard révolutionne la philosophie des sciences en introduisant les notions d'obstacle épistémologique, de rupture et de discontinuité dans le progrès scientifique. Il défend une rationalité dynamique, toujours en reconstruction. À travers ses études sur l'imaginaire (l'eau, le feu, l'air, la maison…), il développe une poétique des images fondée sur l'intuition, la rêverie et la résonance affective. L'imagination devient un mode de connaissance à part entière. L'auteur insiste, dans l'émission et dans son livre, sur le rythme alterné que Bachelard propose entre rationalité et rêverie. Cette alternance n'est pas une contradiction, mais, au contraire, une méthode de vie et de pensée : un art de vivre philosophique, respectueux de la pluralité des formes de la vie bonne et de la liberté de l'esprit. Cette éthique du renouveau repose sur une sagesse qui refuse les dogmes et valorise le mouvement. Elle s'incarne dans une pédagogie de l'éveil, où le philosophe est aussi un éducateur. Le livre montre comment Bachelard, souvent marginalisé dans les grands courants philosophiques, a pourtant influencé des penseurs majeurs comme Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Ricœur, Deleuze, Foucault ou Simondon. Son style, mêlant rigueur conceptuelle et lyrisme, échappe aux classifications habituelles. Gilles Hieronimus le présente comme un philosophe combattant, marqué par son expérience de la guerre, un homme libre «logé partout mais enfermé nulle part». Au fil de ses propos, l'auteur qui dirige l'édition commentée des œuvres de Gaston Bachelard, confirme ce qu'il écrit dans son livre, le philosophe «cultive une spiritualité joyeuse, un gai savoir rationaliste, en s'appuyant sur la méditation privilégiée d'images heureuses, vitalisantes, verticalisantes». Un précieux compagnon de route en somme à «la recherche d'une sagesse et d'un art de vivre».

Imagine a woman setting herself the task of liking her son's choice of wife. At first she finds her daughter-in-law unbearable, but through the effort of seeing her clearly and justly she comes to accept and even appreciate the younger woman. For Iris Murdoch this is an example of moral labour, the struggle to achieve virtue that is understood intuitively by all of us. In her 1970 book The Sovereignty of Good, a collection of three lectures, Murdoch rejects the unambitious, ‘milk and water' ethics of her fellow English moralists at Oxford in favour of a Platonic system in which morality has the same objectivity as mathematics. In this episode Jonathan and James discuss Murdoch's lifelong philosophical project to establish what the rational unity of morality might be like without God. They consider her ideas of ‘unselfing' and of goodness as a replacement for God, and what she got wrong about Sartre's distinction between authenticity and sincerity.

Neste episódio apresentamos o estoicismo prático de uma das principais figuras do período romano: Caio Musônio Rufo. Sempre que falamos sobre o estoicismo do período imperial, os três nomes geralmente abordados são Sêneca, Epicteto e Marco Aurélio. Eles não foram, no entanto, os únicos filósofos em atividade nestes séculos. É verdade que pouquíssimos textos desta época chegaram até nós, mas há também filósofos menos conhecidos hoje que, naquele tempo, causaram grande impressão em seus contemporâneos.
In this episode, I talk with Tyrique Mack-Georges, a PhD student in philosophy at Penn State, about the deep connections between Frantz Fanon and Jean-Paul Sartre. We explore how both thinkers help us understand the systemic nature of racism, the power of language in maintaining or challenging colonial systems, and Fanon's vision of a new humanism.Tyrique shares how his Caribbean background shapes his philosophical journey and how Fanon reworked Sartre's existentialism to illuminate what it means to become fully human in a world structured by domination.
In this solo episode, I explore Frantz Fanon's ambivalence toward religion—how he wrestled with the sacred, the modern, and the so-called “primitive.” Drawing on Federico Settler's thought-provoking essay, I reflect on Fanon's complex relationship with Catholicism, Islam, and indigenous spirituality, and how those tensions shaped his vision of liberation and the “new man.”I'm also excited to share some of the conversations coming up on the podcast, including Tyrique Mack-Georges on Fanon and Sartre, Todd McGowan on Fanon and Hegel, Donovan Miyasaki on Fanon and Nietzsche, and Matthew Beaumont on Fanon and Reich. I'm hoping to keep expanding this exploration—into Fanon's engagement with Manichaeism, his possible connections to Alfred Adler, Simone de Beauvoir, and others who helped shape his revolutionary psychology.

Voilà une question qui n'a jamais cessé d'alimenter la réflexion des philosophes. Et parmi les théories les plus célèbres, on trouve le mythe des Androgynes. Présenté par Aristophane dans "Le Banquet" de Platon, le mythe des Androgynes nous parle de la condition des premiers êtres humains, et de leur séparation en hommes et en femmes. Telle serait, selon lui, l'origine de l'amour. Analyse de cette conception.---Envie d'aller plus loin ? Rejoignez-moi sur Patreon pour accéder à tout mon contenu supplémentaire.
In this episode of the Psyche Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Peter Hudis for a rich and energizing conversation on the life, thought, and legacy of Frantz Fanon. As I mention at the start of our discussion, Peter's book Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades has been one of the most accessible and illuminating introductions to Fanon I've ever encountered. If you've wanted to understand Fanon beyond the buzzwords—this is the place to begin.Together, we explore the philosophical influences that shaped Fanon's thinking, from the Negritude movement and Sartre to Merleau-Ponty, Hegel, and beyond. Peter shares fascinating stories about Fanon's early exposure to philosophy in Martinique, his evolution as a revolutionary thinker, and the ways he transformed the ideas he inherited rather than simply repeating them. We also discuss Fanon's commitment to a new humanism—one rooted in mutual recognition, dignity, liberation, and social transformation.Whether you're new to Fanon or have been journeying with his ideas for years, this episode offers both depth and accessibility. I left the conversation energized, challenged, and more convinced than ever that Fanon's work remains essential for thinking about race, liberation, and humanity today.Tune in, reflect with us, and see what new connections emerge for you as we revisit Fanon's enduring legacy through the eyes of a leading scholar.
In this episode, we sink our teeth into The Addiction (1995), Abel Ferrara's moody, black-and-white vampire film that's as much about Sartre and sin as it is about blood. We unpack the heavy philosophy behind the movie's take on evil, addiction, and moral decay — and ask whether vampirism is just a metaphor for being human. Along the way, we wrestle with Nazi imagery, existential dread, and whether philosophy helps or just makes everything way more confusing.
Never trust anyone who tries to be ethically pure. This is the message of Albert Camus's short novel La Chute (The Fall), in which a retired French lawyer tells a stranger in a bar in Amsterdam about a series of incidents that led to a profound personal crisis. The self-described ‘judge-penitent' had once thought himself to be morally irreproachable, but an encounter with a woman on a bridge and a mysterious laugh left him tormented by a sense of hypocrisy. In this episode, Jonathan and James follow Camus's slippery hero as he tries and fails to undergo a moral revolution, and look at the ways in which the novel's lightness of style allows for twisted inversions of conventional morality. They also consider the similarities between Camus's novels and those of Simone de Beauvoir, and his fractious relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre.

What happens when Deleuze and Hegel are set in violent philosophical encounter over the ruins of Kantian representation? In this episode, we explore how both thinkers attempt to move beyond the categories of judgment and identity to recover the genesis of sense itself. Henry Somers-Hall joins us to trace Deleuze's path through Kant, Sartre, and Bergson toward a field of pre-individual difference and immanent synthesis. What emerges is a portrait of thought that no longer begins with the subject, but with the forces that make thinking possible.Extended Conversation (Patrons Only) In the extended discussion, we turn to the politics of the practical in Kant, Fichte, and Hegel—and ask whether Deleuze's constructivism truly escapes the metaphysical State. Henry also reflects on what it means to make oneself a body without organs and where he sees the next frontier for Deleuzian thought.Hegel, Deleuze, and the Critique of Representation: Dialectics of Negation and Difference: https://sunypress.edu/Books/H/Hegel-Deleuze-and-the-Critique-of-RepresentationAlso: https://archive.org/details/hegeldeleuzecrit0000someSupport the showSupport the podcast:Current classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-mainWebsite: 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 platform: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

At the heart of human existence is a tragic ambiguity: the fact that we experience ourselves both as subject and object, internal and external, at the same time, and can never fully inhabit either state. In her 1947 book, Simone de Beauvoir addresses the ethical implications of this uncertainty and the ‘agonising evidence of freedom' it presents, along with the opportunity it creates for continual self-definition. In this episode Jonathan and James discuss these arguments and Beauvoir's warnings against trying to evade the responsibilities imposed upon us by this ambiguity. They also look at the ways in which Beauvoir developed these ideas in The Second Sex and her novels, and her remarkable readings of George Eliot, Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster.
