linked from: lacaninireland A1: SEMINARS INTRODUCTION These translations were originally done for a reading group of colleagues and graduates which has met since 1987. Each translation was drafted during the summer vacation, was worked through on a weekly basis by the group and then given its present form. Tony Hughes has undertaken the task of putting the original photocopies of the seminars into a presentable form. Here is his description of where the work is at: a) All seminars will be updated to improve readability and give a more professional finished product. This requires a very large number of adjustments, given the number of seminars involved. b) The following seminars have the diagrams inserted: Seminars V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII, XIV. c) The remaining seminars do not as yet have any diagrams inserted, these are: XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, and XXIII. d) As each [...]
Ray Brassier interviewed by Marcin Rychter, linked from: kronos.org.pl KRONOS: 'Nihilism' is one of the most ambiguous philosophical concepts. What is your idea of it? Would you consider yourself a nihilist? Does nihilism totally exclude religion? What about Meillassoux's nihilistic faith fuelled by the inexistence of God? RB: Very simply, nihilism is a crisis of meaning. This crisis is historically conditioned, because what we understand by ‘meaning’ is historically conditioned.

The attempt to explain what ‘meaning’ is entails a profound transformation in our understanding of it; one that I think will turn out to be as far-reaching as the changes in our understanding of space, time, causality, and life provoked by physics and biology. The pre-modern worldview that lasted several millennia [...]
