rob crooks: Time and space are both an integral whole / Like accident and substance, spatiotemporal / Fact is that time and space are the same / Like matter and mind, just taken from an advantage that isolates them / Abstracts and violates / Can’t cross space with duration, or a minute without the world… Continue reading superbad visuals

Gazogene
Sometime near the beginning of the pandemic, Kay reached out to let us know his friend and collaborator Kitz Willman would be moving to Winnipeg. Kitz is a unique case of someone who moved here by choice. He recognized what it took me well into my adulthood to appreciate: that Winnipeg and the land it… Continue reading Gazogene

Fichte’s interest is in bourgeois… Continue reading Adventures in the Dialectic Part 2: Philosophy and Politics
Adventures in the Dialectic: Materialism or Idealism

The two introductions were meant to clarify misunderstandings and to respond to critiques of his Wissenschaftslehre (literally, theory of scientific knowledge). Fichte is an interesting figure in the history of philosophy and,… Continue reading Adventures in the Dialectic: Materialism or Idealism
