Zizek v. Buddhism: who’s the subject?
Posted in Philosophy, Process-relational thought, Spirit matter, tagged Buddhism, subjectivity, Zizek on December 11, 2012 | 15 Comments »
This started out as a response to Slavoj Zizek’s recent talk here at the University of Vermont on “Buddhism Naturalized,” but evolved into a consideration of subjectivity, which happened to be the topic of my next post in the pre-G (process-relational ecosophy-G) series. So this can be considered part 1 of a 2-part series.
Latour on Gaia & Natural Religion
Posted in Eco-culture, Spirit matter, tagged Gaia, natural religion on October 30, 2012 | 5 Comments »
Bruno Latour’s upcoming Gifford Lectures sound remarkable. See ANTHEM for the details. There could be no better theme for a lecture series on natural religion than that of Gaia, this puzzling figure that has emerged recently in public discourse from Earth science as well as from many activist and spiritual movements. The problem is that the […]
A little riot going on
Posted in Politics, Spirit matter, tagged Connolly, global civil religion, globalism, globalization, liberalism, media, progressivism, Pussy Riot on August 22, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Little time this week, unfortunately, for me to keep up with the Pussy Riot conviction (as promised here) or anything else. But I recommend Charles Cameron’s series of posts (six so far, and counting) over at Zenpundit, including his annotated summary of their closing statements. The statements themselves are very lucid and articulate, as one […]
Birthday thoughts
Posted in Spirit matter on July 15, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Birthdays, and other such markers (I realized while meditating by the Lamoille river this morning), are an opportunity for pooling together thoughts, those facing back across the memoried past and those facing forward to an open future, and gathering them into a spool of desiring-productive-energy to be set spinning outward. Not only one’s own thoughts, […]
SAR “Nature, Science, Religion” volume out
Posted in Eco-culture, Science & society, Spirit matter, tagged anthropology, cosmopolitics, nature, religion on May 20, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I received my copies in the mail this week of the book that arose out of the School of Advanced Research seminar on “Nature, Science, and Religion: Intersections Shaping Society and the Environment.” It’s a handsome volume, whose contents provide a level of cross-cutting conversation that, I think, is rare among edited collections. Catherine Tucker […]
We are the 1%
Posted in Eco-culture, Spirit matter on May 5, 2012 | 1 Comment »
The other 99% have apparently gone extinct. (The estimate is actually closer to 100% than 99%.) This I just learned form Joshua Schuster’s talk on “Digital extinction.” The earth’s biological diversity is also the highest it’s ever been. We are living between the achievement (of speciation to tremendous levels of flourishing) and the projection (that […]
“Only a god can save us…”
Posted in Philosophy, Spirit matter, tagged art, daimon, Heidegger, ontotheology, paganism, polytheism, theology on March 16, 2012 | 9 Comments »
In a comment to my last post on triads and divinities, my frequent commenter/interlocutor “dmf” points out a nice essay by Robert Gall called “From Daimonion to the ‘Last’ God: Socrates, Heidegger, and the God of the Thinker,” which Mark Fullmer has made available beyond the restricted-access community. Gall distinguishes between the god of […]
Thinking through threes (& deities)
Posted in Philosophy, Process-relational thought, Spirit matter, tagged deity, dialectics, Peirce, polytheism, theism on March 14, 2012 | 14 Comments »
One of the things that Ecologies of the Moving Image has left unresolved, and left me needing to think more about, is the extent to which my Peircian “triadism” holds up. Philosophically, the case for some sort of triadism as a way of getting around dualisms is, at first blush, appealing. But there are […]
In a nutshell

Shinzen Young lays it all out: He has also started blogging (to add to his other online presences).
Lynn Margulis, r.i.p.
Posted in Spirit matter, tagged Margulis, scientists on November 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Heard about this last night. She died peacefully at her home in Massachusetts yesterday evening, surrounded by family. (We had just seen her son Dorion Sagan, son of Carl, give a great talk at the anthropology conference last Friday, after which he and his partner had to speed back to Toronto to get their passports […]
