Publication day for my first book, Reading Hegel: Irony, Recollection, Critique !
It's written I hope in a lively,at times polemical style––not only for Hegel scholars but for anyone interested in what's at stake in our reading of philosophy, theory, and criticism @UChicagoPress

[Robert Lucas Scott @_rob_scott]

Here's a video from last year's Gillian Rose memorial conference feat. my paper on Rose, Hegel, Kierkegaard and "the risk of action" (from 27:45).

Also included is Rachel Pafe's excellent paper on Rose's Talmudic Hegel contra Levinas

Nice to finally get my hands on a hardcopy of this issue of Radical Philosophy feat my essay on Gillian Rose, the phenomenology of necessary social illusion, and why a theory of reification requires a theory of personification

The last page, dunking on Žižek a bit:

Lots of people cross about this (re “self-reference”), but Jay Bernstein provides a good explanation of what Rose means—and why Adorno would agree.

[alanigolanski.bsky.social @alanigolanski]

Missing from Adorno's work is the Hegelian notion of 'self-reference'; missing from the Marxism of both men (Adorno and Benjamin) is any notion of human activity or praxis.

Continuing to enjoy the work of Claire Bishop. This morning I read her essay on dialectical contemporaneity in curatorial practice. She ties it to Benjamin’s practice of collecting which generates “multitemporal mappings of history outside of national and disciplinary frameworks”

@cabalaofpegasus Thanks !

[Die Rizzenschaftslehre @die_rizzen]

It goes from "what?" to "i have seen the way and the truth and the light" to "what" again every few paragraphs.
Some call it bad, i say dialectical.

every day gillian rose is vindicated in calling everyone a neokantian

Recording of the great conversation I had with @Mblaz39 and Karen Ng via @redmayseattle, on the question of why we find ourselves returning to Hegel, again and again.

@tyorrique Have you read this lecture by Rose on Marx’s conception of “method?” It’s pretty great and speaks to your claim.

However many times I read this translation of Verlaine by Keston Sutherland I don’t seem to be able to learn and anticipate its shocks. It’s alive! 🔥
