You don't have to be an abolitionist to know that extraterritorial, indefinite detention in camps is wrong for ANYONE. The fixation on one guy being "innocent" is really toxic. #FreeThemAll

when Adorno & Horkheimer were sending each other letters full of insults in 34, Adornoβ€”probs the single real reader of the recently published β€œDΓ€mmerung”—writes a letter like β€˜I hate you right now but I unconditionally love this book if you even care. We are destined to be friends. Give it up’ lmfao

Translations of two previously unpublished fragments on β€œNegative Metaphysics” by Herbert Marcuse (ca. 1933), original variations on the critique of Heidegger Horkheimer & Adorno were working on their own versions if at the time!

I love that it’s a trans historical truth that philosophers will choose an enemy (whether that be a school, camp, or position) and accuse everyone they don’t like of it

The fact that bestimmtes sein and dasein were translated from Hegel as Γͺtre-lΓ  will be the bane of my existence because now people think it’s necessarily existentialist/phenomenological.

IMO the solution to the Marxist periodization debates is to double down & get even more specific. You have to be ready to pull out a Foucault style β€œThere were no homosexuals before 1870” or give it up & go home

A couple of essays, but also is mentioned a bit in later stuff (mostly hyppolite being like Fichte actually gets finitude unlike this Hegel guy)

Adorno in a 39 letter to Scholem says the Zohar reminded him of being a β€œshort winded / near sighted city dweller” on a guided hike to see an elusive Chamois, didn’t, but got such a comprehensive β€œtopology” of the habitat he vibrated with excitement that there could be one around any corner lol
