Being and Time – Simon Critchley

By μο.|2016-01-12T21:10:25+02:00July 1st, 2009|philosophy|0 Comments

This is a series of articles: Being and Time, part 1: Why Heidegger matters The most important and influential continental philosopher of the last century was also a Nazi. How did he get there? What can we learn from him? Being and Time, part 2: On 'mineness' For Heidegger, what defines the human being is the capacity to be puzzled by the deepest of questions: why is there something rather than nothing? Being and Time, part 3: Being-in-the-world How Heidegger turned Descartes upside down, so that we are, and only therefore think Being and Time, part 4: Thrown into this world How do we find ourselves in the world, and how can find our freedom here?

Ph.D thesis

By μο.|2017-12-05T02:32:57+02:00June 29th, 2009|philosophy, research|0 Comments

The main purpose of this thesis is to explore the theoretical and methodological approaches that are involved in understanding how to achieve interaction, communication and collaboration in socio-technical contexts. Hence this thesis seeks for a systemic, ontological framework for understanding and approaching interaction, communication and collaboration processes, which is able to describe the ways we organise in networked societal groups or contexts of interactive participation, within a context of psychological, social, and material relations.

info from the infinite thought Speculative Realism / Speculative Materialism A One-Day Workshop 12–7pm, Friday 24 April 2009 Lecture Theatre H124 St Matthias Campus University of the West of England Bristol BS16 2JP Participants: Ray Brassier (American University of Beirut), Iain Hamilton Grant (University of the West of England), Graham Harman (American University in Cairo), Alberto Toscano (Goldsmiths, University of London) with a paper by Quentin Meillassoux (Ecole Normale Supérieure) The first ‘Speculative Realism’ workshop at Goldsmiths College, London, in 2007 sparked considerable interest and debate in contemporary European philosophy circles. This second workshop shall pursue some of the fundamental issues that emerged out of the first, principal among them the relation of speculative philosophy to materialist metaphysics. Materialism emerges at two key yet divergent junctures: firstly at the physicalist level, raising the problems of reduction and epistemic change, and in consequence, confronting the viability of any kind of speculative [...]

Co-edited by: Nicole Anderson Critical and Cultural Studies Department Macquarie University, Australia General Editor, Derrida Today H. Peter Steeves Professor of Philosophy DePaul University, Chicago Special Issue Topic In this special issue of Derrida Today, the editors wish to address the question of the meeting of deconstruction and science, the latter broadly defined. Since the 1960s and ‘70s, poststructuralist thought has garnered a reputation for being at odds with science and the Enlightenment worldview upon which modern science is based. This is understandable if for no other reason than the fact [...]
