You don't have to be an abolitionist to know that extraterritorial, indefinite detention in camps is wrong for ANYONE. The fixation on one guy being "innocent" is really toxic. #FreeThemAll

when Adorno & Horkheimer were sending each other letters full of insults in 34, Adorno—probs the single real reader of the recently published “Dämmerung”—writes a letter like ‘I hate you right now but I unconditionally love this book if you even care. We are destined to be friends. Give it up’ lmfao

Congratulations to Germaine A. Hoston, winner of the JHI's Selma V. Forkosch Prize for her article “Neo-Confucianism and the Development of German Idealism"!

Translations of two previously unpublished fragments on “Negative Metaphysics” by Herbert Marcuse (ca. 1933), original variations on the critique of Heidegger Horkheimer & Adorno were working on their own versions if at the time!

I love that it’s a trans historical truth that philosophers will choose an enemy (whether that be a school, camp, or position) and accuse everyone they don’t like of it

Abstract sex?

Wise advice

Stock market can only go down so much, I’ll still have at least a dollar

The fact that bestimmtes sein and dasein were translated from Hegel as être-là will be the bane of my existence because now people think it’s necessarily existentialist/phenomenological.

IMO the solution to the Marxist periodization debates is to double down & get even more specific. You have to be ready to pull out a Foucault style “There were no homosexuals before 1870” or give it up & go home

A couple of essays, but also is mentioned a bit in later stuff (mostly hyppolite being like Fichte actually gets finitude unlike this Hegel guy)

Guess ima have to write about Hyppolite’s fichtean turn

Fichte revival continues

wishful thinking

Adorno in a 39 letter to Scholem says the Zohar reminded him of being a “short winded / near sighted city dweller” on a guided hike to see an elusive Chamois, didn’t, but got such a comprehensive “topology” of the habitat he vibrated with excitement that there could be one around any corner lol

God he was so cool

"It is a world in decline with climate breakdown baked in from past emissions and leaders driving us on a suicidal trajectory. The one hope they point to is the contradictions in the capitalist system itself."

let’s just say some of the aphorisms that were left out of the english translation are pretty spicy lol

Michael Friedman, Suppes Professor of Philosophy of Science, Stanford University (1947-2025)

I regret to information the Bluesky philosophy community that Michael Friedman, noted philosopher of science and ground-breaking historian of Kant, neo-Kantianism, and logical positivism has died. May his memory be a blessing. #philsci
