Upcoming interviews

So far I have managed to secure two blog interviews with scu from Critical Animal and Lee Braver, author of A Thing of This World: A History of Continental Anti-Realism (currently being discussed over at Perverse Egalitarianism.

If you want to join the list drop me a comment.

Pics of Heidegger's Hütte

From the old blog my (somewhat smudgy) pics from die Hütte in Todtnauberg. I think I was there some time in August 2007.

I went up with a group of Italians and a Japanese girl. I only really knew one of the Italian guys, and we did manage to walk the wrong path occasionally, but it was worth it in the end.

The main thing I took from the experience was the eerie silence up there. We all agreed it was a place one could do philosophy.

'...Heidegger was a cold-hearted snake...'

It’s funny to imagine, though: “In this paper, I will argue that due to abundant evidence that Heidegger was a cold-hearted snake, his arguments about the collapse of metaphysics should be ruled invalid.”

Graham Harman imagines a particularly harsh critique of Heidegger ;)

Be sure to check out the excellent post on 'what heideggerians always say'.

Heidegger on vinyl

Very cool thing to own.

Jealous? You bet I am. Signed by Heidegger and everything. Some people have all the luck, huh.

Also a free copy of the Question Concerning Technology can be found here.

Weekly Roundup

I thought this was a nice way to round up some philosophy net resources.

Was Heidegger right about the question concerning technology? What is missing here? [The essence of technology is not itself technological etc.)

A Thing of this World Reading Group

Online reading group.

I got an e-mail about this a while back, but never had a chance to buy the book so felt I couldn't contribute. There are some great posts, but also some damn fine posts in general. I think I'll be adding PE to the blog roll!

The Slavoj Žižek Challenge

Go find a non-philosopher/academic. Youtube Slavoj Žižek, and then try to explain that academic philosophy is normal. This is known as the Slavoj Žižek challenge. ;0

Ontography

I'm a little bit groggy today, and trying to catch up on the blog world. Once again we find object-orientated philosophy/speculative realism in a battle for a proper name: here, here and here.

Ontography sounds nice although it will give Derrideans indigestion.

If object orientated philosophy becomes just more aesthetics might we not lose sight of the objects once again?
