Some thoughts on some books 📚

“As something presupposed, reason and faith are abstract, empty representations; for them to become concrete they must be explicated and viewed as unfamiliar” (Hegel, History of Philosophy, II.132).

On Hegel's mixed metaphors, the mismatch of word and image, and making the best of abstraction.

The fragments, composed in parallel with the final drafts of Dialectic of Enlightenment (possibly outlines for its unwritten sequel), challenged everything I thought I knew about 1940s Critical Theory—been working on getting these ready to share for about a year!

Starting this Monday! -- My lecture series with the Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy: a semester-length reading of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit from cover to cover!

21.07.2025 21:41 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Honestly if there's any way that you could learn Hegel's Phenomenology, cover-to-cover in a lecture series guided by Greg (my nemesis) would be easily one of the best, most interesting, and most transformative. There are people who read Hegel for 80 years but they Can't Do What Greg Does.

no one believes me when I say Deleuze was a big fan of Negative Dialectics, but it’s right there at the crux of the critique of capitalism in the Geophilosophy chapter of “What is Philosophy?” (pp. 99-100)

French theory reads the Frankfurt School
Foucault: Yes… the enlightenment *&* sociology—very ambivalent…
Deleuze: Sure I’m doing Negative Dialectics. Habermas got lost after debate club & ended up in philosophy.
Derrida: *Guy who’s only read Heidegger* Benjamin is giving me major Heidegger vibes
Just received from @umbrellaent.bsky.social — the 4K restoration of Wake in Fright, complete with the novel by Kenneth Cook, and a booklet of essays on the film (including a critical comparison of the book and film by yours truly)!
