@die_rizzen @BlakkBile o, he just literally doesn't understand it, he thinks for spinoza being is extention, he can't even get first few pages right
English
@NewSweezyite @BlakkBile I see it as Spinozists insisting that Hegel was wrong because he has to be.
English
@die_rizzen @BlakkBile I spend a lot of time reading spinoza/ists, and hegel is comically confused over what conatus, attributes, and modes are so it makes most hegelian arguments that bulldoze over fundamental issues like positivity, infinity, or being very annoying
English
@NewSweezyite @BlakkBile It genuinely feels like you are being contrarian on some of this issues for the sake of it.
English
@donaldp1917 @die_rizzen @BlakkBile spinozism works as a sort of anomalous monism a la davidson, Knox Peden has a few good recent articles on this; for hegel you have to argue over the definition of metaphysics and engage in the worst debate ever
English
@die_rizzen @NewSweezyite @BlakkBile I still don’t get how this works if you don’t believe in some kind of god
English
@NewSweezyite @BlakkBile Conception of Being as outside thought would make it undialectical. I am not sure that is what you re going for.
Also, this unity is pretty hard to deny considering everything one can point out as an argument against will also be intelligible thought.
English
@die_rizzen @BlakkBile if you presuppose the identity of being and thought sure
English
@NewSweezyite @BlakkBile If the opposites are united then their negation is negated while also being preserved, aufheben.
This is why dialectic is not separate principles but thought that knows the unity of being and nothing.
English
@die_rizzen @BlakkBile it does if you don't accept hegel's whining about spinoza being a secret parmenidean (or you could read Yitzhak Melamed)
English
@NewSweezyite @BlakkBile Also this is just wrong, as the unity of opposites doesnt work without negation of the negation. Think about it for two seconds.
English
@Kali_de_Armas it is except for when it isn't; it's the difference between negative dialectical reason and the speculative - which for hegel is one logical, necessary, positive movement of the dialectic - but the subordination of negativity and it's necessity is what's being contested
English
"Negation of the negation" is just a definition for the "dialectic." It's basically a synonym in Hegelian jargon. The reason it is so often rejected is because it is so often misinterpreted. Mao's "critique" makes it painfully clear that he has no idea what the term even means.
Mateba@NewSweezyite
mao was right in opposing the negation of the negation as a category in a materialist dialectic and somehow adorno, deleuze, althusser and macherey all agree with him on this
English
@BlakkBile True but "every link in the chain of events is both affirmation and negation" is spinozist excellence 🙂↕️ (as well as the primacy of the unity of opposites, which hegel attributes to spinoza although he bungles his philosophy into dualism to do that) marxists.org/reference/arch…
English
@NewSweezyite I think Mao's point is moreso that all the "three laws" are just variants of unity of opposites, which I think Lenin also says somewhere.

@ThatKid1871 @Sarah_pdx @Revmira_1921 a piano just fell on sarah making all of her teeth into piano keys and you're still talking about history
English
@Sarah_pdx @Revmira_1921 Sorry I don't think trots can complain abt leftists depending too much on past political traditions
English
@Permanentkritik my advice is to just read the Barry M. Katz book "Foreign Intelligence" instead to see how funny the process of integrating negative critique into bombing reports was
English
Is there a new app people are using that can tell who hasn’t read a text?
Taylor R. Genovese@trgenovese
It's telling that an overwhelming majority of those critical of Rockhill's book are 1) Western academics; and 2) haven't read the fucking text. They're worse than the worst of my undergraduate students—forming rabidly strong opinions about ideas they haven't read or understand!

this tweet has the potential to make as much hyperspecific groups of people mad as possible but I promise the skeleton is there x.com/i/status/20342…
Mateba@NewSweezyite
Macherey on Spinoza, Adorno, and the possibility of a "positive dialectic" of the "substance that conditions all modal determinations to the extent that substance itself cannot be apprehended modally"
English
@Dubious_Angel Althusser was never anti-dialectics unless you confine "dialectics" to a repetition of hegel's phenomenology; Wood's criticism of althusser is weak, relying on ambiguities in terms like structure, level, "simultaneous expression" and leaves the problems in a more confused state
English
@NewSweezyite Analytic Marxism in its prime was avowedly anti dialectics (as 'mystification'), not unlike Althusser
Ellen Meiskins Wood is the most astute political Marxist critic of Althusser, but also more philosophical historian than analytic (she'd also reject being called an empiricist!)
English
this is funny given the reaction of anglo marxism to althusser was a hysteric backlash that has today bottomed out in chibber's dullard version of analytical marxism and canned recitation of brennerism, with varying degrees of chauvinism depending on the author
New Left EViews@NewLeftEViews
One man more than anyone has dulled and warped the minds of the contemporary left; his influence is felt everywhere and many don’t realise they are in his thrall.

@PinstripeBungle Being negatively polarized by the internet is a sign of mental weakness imo. I have no respect for anyone this happens to. People in your phone made you so mad you support genocide now? End it now that's subhuman behavior.

Vc sabe como Hegel morreu? Você tem ideia de como Hegel morreu? No seu leito de morte ele mandou chamar o Schelling , pegou uma edição da Ética e a abraçou sobre seu peito, e disse, Spinoza me perdoa pelas mentiras que eu inventei
Xenodesire@xenodesire
Vc sabe como Deleuze morreu? Você tem ideia de como Deleuze morreu? No seu leito de morte ele mandou chamar o Guattari, pegou uma edição de Fenomenologia do Espirito e a abraçou sobre seu peito, e disse, Hegel me perdoa pelas mentiras que eu inventei

@BlakkBile more people simply needed to immerse themselves in the debates over set theory, logicism, phenomenology, kantianism, and cartesianism to find Cavaillès legible
English
@NewSweezyite Well I think there's a bigger reason that Cavailles wasn't read. Also Koyre was definitely a big deal.
