Post-Continental Voices Out Tomorrow

Just a heads up!

My collection of interviews with seven 'post-continental' thinkers is released tomorrow (Oct. 29th). The book contains interviews with Jeffrey Malpas,Graham Harman, Stuart Elden, Lee Braver, Ian Bogost, Levi R. Byrant, and Adrian Ivakhiv. The book deals with some pretty universal issues in academic philosophy such as graduate school, the job market, and where philosophy might go in the coming years. (There is also a short introduction that explains my reasoning behind the title 'post-continental'). But readers of this blog will hopefully be excited enough by the names involved to grab a copy!

You can order the book on Amazon here.

Sunday Thoughts: Thesis Stuff

So I am currently very close to finishing my thesis and have perhaps not been this 'inside my head' in my life. The sheer amount of things to keep track of is mind-blowing but things are falling into place. I think it cuts a nice path from Kant right up into the contemporary debates and I hope that it tells a story as much as hits all the right notes in terms of argumentation. It will likely surprise people just how little my thesis work chimes in with my interests on here but I quite enjoy having these separate worlds.

This does mean that I have been missing all the blog stuff. It is 10pm here on a Sunday nite and I have just finished working so that should give some idea just how little time I have for myself at the moment. The weird thing about all this is that when you are putting everything into the thesis you find that you have nothing to put into anything else. Tonite is the first time in a long time when I've felt like writing on here and I think I'm going to try get back into the blogging spirit as much as possible.

The next step in my world is to finalize the thesis. I'm likely submitting either at month's end or early November. After that I have no idea what will happen but I look forward to tackling my Amazon wish list which has grown to an unwieldy number of pages.
