Gregory S. Moss

My new book, “Absolute Dialetheism: Hegel, Schelling, and the End of Alterity” will be published in May. Published with EUP. Check it out here: edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-absolute-… The book rediscovers the 19th century insight that human freedom is impossible without the Absolute.

Coming up at CUHK!

@die_rizzen @noetic_emetic And failed-not one is complete by itself!

@GregorySMoss2 @noetic_emetic They all succeeded actually. The system is nothing but the culmination of history.

Do metaphysicians know there were like 5000 attempts in recorded human history to cognize the real as it is in itself before Hegel was born? Parmenides, Plato, Plotinus, some Scholastics, Descartes, Leibniz, Wolff, etc. They all failed.

The Legacy of German Idealism: First Conference.

@xgabegottliebx On the other hand, the true infinite is complete while the bad infinite is incomplete. But the completeness means it does not exclude the bad infinite-the bad infinite is like a line generated from endlessly going around the circle of true infinity

Hegelians: do you think "bad" infinity is distinct or separate in kind from "true" infinity or is it a deficient or spurious infinity? Or a third thing?

@xgabegottliebx Bad infinity cannot be distinct or “other” from true infinity without undermining true infinity. If it were, it would reintroduce another opposition without end.declaring that there is no true infinity is like going around the circle of the absolute declaring there is no absolute

@Philip_Goff Gender and moral realism

Some philosophical claims that at least 60% of philosophers agree about: atheism (67%), gender is social construction (63%), moral realism (62%), conceivability of zombies (61%). Which ones did the majority get right?

@xgabegottliebx Preach the gospel

After some careful reflection and study, I've come to realize that the 90s were the apogee of all music.

Excited for this: giving a keynote here on “Schelling’s Tautegorical Turn and Contemporary Anthropology”

@aufgehenderRest Wonderful!

#TheYoungIdealist Series will continue with many new upcoming episodes on the philosophers of The Kyoto School. The first of many episodes will feature the return of Dr. Fernando Wirtz (Kyoto University) discussing the life and philosophy of Tosaka Jun (1900-1945).

Very much looking forward to this event with @martinhaegglund in Valencia. I’m a great admirer of his work

Speaking on Infinite Personality in Delhi! Come join us online.

@DrDavidAEvans @aufgehenderRest Thats the idea! But he transforms it too

@aufgehenderRest Do you not think that Hegel's Geist was appropriated from Christian theology?

Love him or hate him. You have to admit Hegel was an absolutely brilliant philosopher.

@giulianophil It would be great to see you and hang out. It’s a whole week so try and come for a day at least.

See you in Heidelberg.! Metaphysics and Method in German Idealism!

@xgabegottliebx Ohh no I’m more than one of these! How terrible…lol

13 ways of looking at a contributor. 1. The late guy 2. The super late guy 3. The didn't format the essay guy 4. The no bibliography guy 5. The two spaces after the period guy 6. The I'm too busy now, pulling out guy 7. The super famous guy 8. The 2000 over the word limit guy

@aufgehenderRest Philosophy trading cards-lol

@GregorySMoss2 I know! I couldn't find anymore philosophy trading cards lol

@daisyldixon I never had a relationship with those journals. Though now that I have tenure perhaps I can start one?

I’m thinking of breaking up with the ‘prestigious’ philosophy journals. The paper rejections are endless and extremely wearing and take years, all meaning my work never gets out there. ‘Publish or perish’ has just become this horrid situationship for junior academics.

@HEAVEYMETAL1985 I am so sorry

@GregorySMoss2 It is literally too difficult to hold up nowadays. A horrible tragedy.

Every week at Hong Kong Quaker Meeting we have a time reserved for “joys and concerns.” Almost every week we hold the people—especially the children of Gaza in the Light—as they face the constant threat of brutal murder by the Israeli army, (whose weaponry is supplied by the US.)
