It is here that Hegel turns his gaze to society, paying specific attention to the dynamic interaction between individuals vying for their own livelihood and the community in which these individuals exist. It traverses through three phases denoted by three sub-chapters: "The True Spirit. The Ethical Order" (7:00), "Self-Alienated Spirit. Culture" (22:12), and "Spirit that is Certain of Itself. Morality (55:27).

It then presents the chapter titled "Reason" (24:26) and the sub-chapters "Observing Reason" (27:56), "Actualization of Rational Self-Consciousness through its own Activity" (46:55), and "Individuality which takes Itself to be Real in and for-itself" (60:05).

In these chapters, he begins by outlining what he hopes his project to accomplish, and then moves into delineating exactly how human consciousness moves through various phases on the way to Absolute Spirit.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy Instagram: @theory_and_philosophy In this episode, I turn my attention to Derrida's groundbreaking essay, "Structure, Sign, and Play." It is here that he lays the foundation of what would become deconstruction, the destabilization of the assumed univocality of either term in a binary. He does this by undoing the oft-assumed belief that structures do not move, and that they are fundamentally opposed to "play."

This text is necessary to understand some of his developed concerns regarding death, cloning and immortality, each of which has undergone a radical overhaul in the contemporary world.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this final episode we are presented with schizoanalysis as a radical alternative to psychoanalysis. They are that schizoanalysis meets the ontological parameters of existence--being comprised of machines--and compels one to think not of themselves in terms of an overarching oedipal narrative, but rather to consider themselves as a machine among other machines.

In this episode, I take a stab at the 3rd (of 4) chapters from Anti-Oedipus. It is in this chapter that they present a historical overview of Oedipus' retroactive intervention in every epistemic paradigm. To this intervention, they charge that Oedipus is but a stranger in those fields, unable to actually present a meaningful solution to the apparent 'problems' found in those fields.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I dive into the second (of four) chapters of Anti-Oedipus. It is here that they level their strongest critique of Oedipus and Freudian psychoanalysis while proposing an alternative way by which to understand the world: through syntheses.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I begin my dissection of Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus, an enigmatic book to say the least.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy   *NOTE* I don't think I did justice to Freud's discussion of neurosis towards the end. I'll have to save that for another episode. In this episode, I turn to Freud's work and his consideration of groups and the ego. In this book, Freud takes aim at the historical understanding of groups as a regressive phenomenon that, he argues, fails to recognize the role of the libido (love) in group formations.    

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, we ask the haunting title's question. What does it mean to disappear? Is disappearance a recourse to nihilism or to some new possibility? I try to answer these questions by contextualizing this book within Baudrillard's overarching projects.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I turn my attention to Baudrillard's "The Agony of Power." This one clarifies Baudrillard's position on power, locating it within the domain of hegemony as opposed to domination. The former presents a much more pernicious mode of oppression for Baudrillard because of its transparency and its illusion of democratic egalitarianism.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I turn my attention to Sara Ahmed's "Queer Phenomenology." This book can be regarded as Ahmed's attempt to perform a queering of phenomenology while simultaneously sketching what a queer phenomenology might look like. To do this, she traverses through the phenomenological tradition to craft her own version of phenomenology and then apply them to the domains of race and sexuality.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I turn my attention to the Frankfurt school giant, Herbert Marcuse and his "One-Dimensional Man." Marrying Marxism with Freudian psychoanalysis, Marcuse constructs an eloquent challenge to the tenets of late capitalism as relevant today as it was in the mid-twentieth century.

Braidotti's brand of posthumanism is a Deleuzian one, seeing the potential of becoming and deterritorialization to oppose the oppressive logic of commodification and identity in late capitalism.

In this books, Foucault extends his temporal scope of sexuality to go as far back as the Greeks. Foucault does this for a number of reasons but may, I believe, be understood primarily as his move to dissuade the argument that asceticism, or the control of sexuality, is a phenomenon rooted in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I take a detour into Flyvbjerg's "Making Social Science Matter," a text written nearly twenty years ago but is as relevant as ever given the current assault on the Social Sciences and Humanities in academia

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, Andrew and I continue our exploration of Illich's "Deschooling Society," setting our focus on the idea of an Epimethean Accelerationism.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I'm joined by PhD student, Andrew Woods, once again to discuss Ivan Illich's "Deschooling Society." We draw some fundamental distinctions between Illich's approach and those espoused by contemporary conservative thinkers in the effort to dismantle schools.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I continue my exploration of Foucault's seminal text. It is here that he presents an eloquent account of biopolitics and biopower in the maintenance and control of populations.

Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I begin my exploration of Foucault's brilliant exploration of that slippery concept called sexuality. In this one, I present Foucault's move away from the repressive hypothesis to theorize the way that the proliferation of sexuality marks the contemporary oppressive strategy.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy Silly Mistake: I meant to say James Baldwin, the African-American activist, not Jon Baldwin. In this episode, I try to defend some of Baudrillard's more problematic claims regarding gender and race by contextualizing those claims within his broader project. Also, I try to unravel some of his more enigmatic approaches to the bifurcation he draws between reality and illusion.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I dissect one of Baudrillard's most important, yet enigmatic, books, "The Perfect Crime." It is here that he makes clear some fundamental axioms pertaining to the nature of simulation and reality.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I turn my attention to Baudrillard's first book on the topic of war. I attempt to defend Baudrillard from some of the criticisms that have been mounted against him for some of his problematic claims by contextualizing this project within his entire theoretical corpus.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I turn my polemical eye to the second half of Lazzarato's text to highlight some of the more unclear claims that Lazzarto makes while presenting some of his very interesting insights

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I explore Maurizio Lazzarato's "Governing by Debt," a somewhat depressing book on the situation that we currently find ourselves here under advanced Capitalism. Aside from the depressing content matter, Lazzarato's provides some eloquent insights on the contemporary status of many other philosophers like Deleuze, Guattari, Schmitt, and Foucault.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I tackles Baudrillard's "The Ecstasy of Communication." In this one, Baudrillard synthesizes some of his broadest ideas in a cohesive analysis of present day society.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I tackle Jean Baudrillard's "America." This book came out of Baudrillard's travels to America where he observed the desolate nothingness that was the American hologram.

https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I conclude my exploration of Calasso's "The Ruin of Kasch" by outlining his criticism of Marxism for failing to consider the possibility that it is society itself that is oppressive, not capital.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I explore the the lesser known Roberto Calasso and his "The Ruin of Kasch." Calasso is a thinker of sacrifice and ceremony, and proposes what these components of the 'old order' mean in the age of modernity. To do this, Calasso traverses from the tale of the ancient kingdom of Kasch to the Napoleonic politician Talleyrand to the limitations of Marxism.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I continue my exploration of "Fatal Strategies" to present something of a Baudrillardian pragmatics that accounts for the acceleration of this oppressive system.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I begin my exploration of Baudrillard's "Fatal Strategies." This is the text that Baudrillard becomes extremely critical against the obscenity machine that forces everything into appearance. Against this, he proposes his own theory--that we are to drive these systems to their radical conclusion. This takes the form of a fatal strategy.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In my last episode of this text, I focus on the stories and films that Ahmed analyzes as being fundamentally "postmodern," but that rely on classical constructions of women and (not so) subtly maintain oppressive imagery against women.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I continue my exploration of Ahmed's "Differences that Matter" and turn my attention to ethics, and the construction of women in Western Philosophy. Ahmed presents some tough criticisms here, but is equally proficient at constructing her own theoretical approach that stands opposed to the hegemony-laden approaches indicative of Western thought.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I shift gears to explore Sara Ahmed's first book, "Differences that Matter." In this book, Ahmed points to the limitations of postmodern thought to account for those marginalized groups most often affected by structural inequalities.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy  In this episode, Curtis and I continue our exploration of Plateau 13 from A Thousand Plateaus, "Apparatus of Capture." Specifically, we locate the implications of this chapter alongside the advent of algorithms, big data, and technological surveillance.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I'm joined by Curtis Allen, PhD candidate in Theory and Criticism, whose work focuses on the work of Deleuze and Wittgenstein. We discuss the implications of this complicated plateau by expounding upon Deleuze & Guattari's theorization of the relationship between the war machine and the state.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, Andrew and I continue to explore the implications of Arendt's seminal text, The Human Condition. In this episode we take aim at the questioning concerning technology, and the role of science in crystallizing a contemporary (oppressive) manifestation of truthfulness.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I'm joined by Andrew Woods, PhD candidate in Theory & Criticism, to explore the implications of Arendt's seminal text, The Human Condition. We gloss over a number of key ideas pertaining to the development of the social; the end of excellence; and the alienating effects of mass society

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy Please note: I mistakenly said that this book follows Simulacra & Simulation when, in fact, it precedes it. I got mixed up with the translation date and original date. Please keep this in mind when I speak about the relationship between the two texts. In this episode, I tackle Baudrillard's "Silent Majorities" to present his primary ideas concerning the media and the masses, and the relationship that they have to one another. Moreover, he takes an interesting stance on the role that terrorism plays in both, paradoxically, consolidating and resisting the repressive mechanisms of the media and the masses.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I continue my exploration of "The Location of Culture." In this part, I expound upon Bhabha's bifurcation of post-colonial and post-modern thought to propose an urgency behind recognizing the impact of colonialism on power and governmentality.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I explore Homi Bhabha's "The Location of Culture," a seminal text in the field of post-colonial studies. In this enigmatic text, Bhabha sketches his conception of hybridity that stands opposed to contemporary forms of colonialism.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I continue my analysis of "Simulacra & Simulation" to expound upon Baudrillard's thoughts of political action, the "code," science fiction, and nihilism.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I delve into Baudrillard's most famous work, "Simulacra & Simulation." In this episode, I do my best to clarify some misconceptions that I often encounter regarding what Baudrillard is doing in this text. Some of these include the explicit relationship between simulation and the media, the divide between reality and simulation, and Baudrillard's thoughts of "real" suffering

Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I conclude Symbolic Exchange & Death to highlight his challenge to critical theory. 

Patreon (For those who can afford it): https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I begin my exploration of Baudrillard's Symbolic Exchange & Death, a key text in the Baudrillard canon. In it he unravels some key terms that guide much of his later work such as symbolic exchange, death, simulation, and sacrifice.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I continue my discussion of Baudrillard's "Seduction" by presenting his thoughts of the rule v. the law, and the role of the ritual in seduction.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I begin my exploration of Baudrillard's elusive and enigmatic "Seduction." There are some tricky ideas in this text that demand a critical re-evaluation of many assumptions often held about Baudrillard's work, and about the role of theory more generally.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I dissect Baudrillard's "Forget Foucault." I try to trace Baudrillard's criticism in his own terms, while simultaneously supplementing his analysis with my own understanding in an effort to fill in some of the blanks

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I'm joined by Alex once again to take a stab at Foucault's "The Order of Things." In these two parts, we try to locate the significance of Foucault's work today with a specific emphasis on his theory of the episteme and much more.

Smith to discuss François Laruelle's "A Summary of Non-Philosophy." As the title suggests, this is an 'introductory' approach to non-philosophy that explores its position within and against philosophy. Non-philosophy assumes this ambiguous position to affect change from both out and inside philosophy.
