Ideas are sensuous and affective; things are affective and noetic. Thinking is a physical activity. These essays are thinking with words, images, tequila, delirium, ecstatic states, death, and more. I taught at UC Berkeley for many years; and a few at the SF Art Institute. I wrote that there book. Thanks for reading.
Support your local philosopher, anything you want or can. Thanks.
About this project
Can a philosopher make his living as a philosopher, independent of academia? Does this new publishing platform promise a certain democracy of knowledge? Does it make possible the independence, and liveliness, of thought? You tell me.
These "lectures" are thoughts in process. The first few are from a class I taught at UC Berkeley. The rest are delivered into a mic, alone in my room, to an imagined ideal audience.
What interests me throughout is the event of thinking, the turns and folds in thought that make this life interesting.
