A belated thanks to my colleague John Abromeit for a copy of his new volume on the internationalization of Critical Theory! See especially his chapter on the fascinating story of how the journal Telos drifted from the New Left to the New Right.

I don’t think this essay by Fredric Jameson gets nearly enough attention. One aspect that I particularly enjoy about this piece is that he doesn’t just explain how Hegel is applicable to Marxist criticism, as other works often do. He criticizes Marxist critics for their++

Recorded December 12, 2025, at the Institut de France, "Phenomenology and Revelation: Jean-Luc Marion and Steven DeLay in Conversation," is a three-part discussion with Jean-Luc Marion of the Académie Française. In a comprehensive discussion addressing phenomenology and the history of philosophy, the history behind the formation of the theological concept of revelation, the saturated phenomenon and his debate with Derrida, Nietzsche’s “death of God,” the ontological argument for God’s existence, nihilism, and technology, one of France's greatest living philosophers reflects on his life's work.

Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was an influential English writer and a central figure of modernist literature. Renowned for pioneering the stream-of-consciousness technique, she explored themes of human consciousness, time, and gender equality. Her most famous works include Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and the seminal feminist essay A Room of One's Own.

[Rorty QOTD @RortyQuotes]

At the heart of philosophy’s quarrel with poetry is the fear that the imagination goes all the way down—that there is nothing we talk about that we might not have talked of differently.

“What do we lose if LLMs kill the journal system? Nothing but some heavy ass chains, and a few weak heuristics for assessing CVs quickly.” OK, but then what system will the academic discipline of philosophy use for measuring human philosophical excellence? https://t.co/5acNJHQufe
