This is great—so glad we finally have a brief autobiographical interview with August Nimtz! One of the best and most underrated American revolutionary socialists of our time. Didn’t know until now he had these personal encounters with Walter Rodney and Angela Davis too.

ROAPE interviews legendary African-American socialist August Nimtz who shares how his travels to Tanzania in the 1970s played a crucial role in his intellectual journey from Pan-African nationalism to radical socialism. buff.ly/XIa0YOY

On the final day of my class, one of my students told me that she decided to major in philosophy. Things have been terribly difficult recently, but knowing that I’ve made a difference through my teaching provided some solace. I hope that I can continue to do that.

Teaching Mark Fisher’s “Capitalist Realism” today was a special moment for me. It was the catalyst for a total transformation in my life that led me to philosophy. He was a true negative dialectician who brought contingency out of false necessity. We’re all worse off without him.

Merleau-Ponty on how we know the existence of others: “there is no constituting of a mind for a mind, but of a man for a man…it is the man as a whole who is given to me with all the possibilities (whatever they may be) that I have in my presence to myself in my incarnate being”

just profoundly stupid, emotionally immature, entirely lacking in meaningful self-reflection, and clearly deeply wounded by the experience of being a person and we just all act like that's normal because it's the default operating state for millions

marxism is cool because it gives you the ability to completely accept the world for what it is, to move forward regardless, and more: the techniques for possibly changing it. it's the anti-escapism of philosophy. the "lock-in" of philosophy.

Whenever someone gets mad at me online, they approach me with the assumption that I should have to apologize for studying philosophy. Whether or not I’m right about things, it always betrays a resentment of any suggestion that what they take for granted may actually be untenable.

The No Kings protests exemplify the limits of the language ready to hand in American public life. Thousands of people are trying to articulate the political crisis enveloping them using the serialized words of liberalism, without a critical grammar to think or act beyond it.

Easily one of the most stunning and moving works of history I’ve ever read. Those American historians who came into it during the course of the civil rights movement and new left really are special.

Gillian Rose (HCS, 53) thinks even Hegel's later works should be read phenomenologically. She uses the example of the Phil of Right, reading it as presenting "illusions and experiences of moral and political consciousness" to show how consciousness can comprehend ethical life.

@eunoicredamancy No, the original “intend and achieve” is correct. Hegel’s point is that whether an individual succeeds (thus ‘achieves’) or fails (merely ‘intends’) in their individual task, there is always a universal substance that goes beyond them on the stage of world history.

“The relationship [between universal substance and subjective consciousness] is such that the actions of human beings in world history produce an effect altogether different from what they intend and achieve, from what they immediately know and desire.” – Hegel, LPWH 1830-1 intro

Henri Lefebvre's critique of space - specifically of capitalist articulations of space as an empty container and a given, rather than a product - probably applies to our society-wide inability to conceptualize air as a product of social relations, not a void

This is the reality of modeling aerosols all day🤢 It's just a lot nicer not to think about that, or be like..."nah all the bioaerosols kind of just die on their own in the few seconds between when they are exhaled by someone else and I inhale them..." Because otherwise?🤮

The debate between Merleau-Ponty and Sartre is a minor tragedy in the history of philosophy. Every attempt to make sense of it only makes it appear more senseless to me. So much was lost in the breakdown of their shared project even as it made another one, Sartre’s CDR, possible.
