Below is a draft of a chapter for a book on radical and process theologies. My contribution is based on a conversation I had with Peter Rollins earlier this year: Facing the Face Within: Christopoetics in an Unfinished World in Process By Matthew David Segall Ahead of turning to the body of this exposition, a […]| Footnotes2Plato
Para el Dr. Reich los orgasmos movían al mundo. Estaba tan convencido de sus ideas, que había puesto una unidad de medida a tal energía, el Orgón. Creía que a través de un dispositivo podía reorientar esta fuerza distribuida anárquicamente en el Universo y dirigirla para la cura de enfermedades, como el cáncer, las neurosis, o en todo caso, hacer llover. Reich terminó sus días en la cárcel de Lewisburg. ¿Cómo un psiquíatra austriaco, alumno de Freud, terminó sus días en una p...| Historia Hoy

The state of meditation is, we could say, where we are 'Present in the moment, for no reason, without intending to be'. This is a delightfully simple and uncontrived (necessarily uncontrived) situation, therefore - it's not complicated (or sophisticated) at all. There couldn't actually be a simpler (or ‘less contrived’)…| Intrinsicspace.me

Timothy Jackson: I really do think Simondon is becoming a very timely figure, and I think it’s probably underappreciated that his stated goal is to refound—have a novel axiomatic for the humanities, basically, or the human sciences. Like, to really break—I mean, like Whitehead, obviously—but to really break down that boundary between the two cultures. Matt […]| Footnotes2Plato

I can try to describe it with weak metaphors and approximations, but suffice it to say, it was one of those astonishing, sublime, blow-your-doors-off experiences that mystics and many others have recounted for centuries. I had been in the middle of writing an article about proto-communist radicals who attempted to overthrow the government in late eighteenth-century France, just before Napoleon’s coup, and c...| Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective
