Eco-ethico-aesthetics and George Floyd

Posted in Cultural politics, Process-relational thought, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 4, 2020 | Leave a Comment »

As I explain in Shadowing the Anthropocene, process-relational philosophy in a Peircian-Whiteheadian vein takes aesthetics to be first, ethics to be second, and logic (which, in our time, we need to think of also as eco-logic) to be third. This is not a temporal sequence, but a logical one: aesthetics is found in the response […]

Shadowing the Anthropocene

Posted in Anthropocene, Eco-theory, Philosophy, Process-relational thought, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on October 9, 2018 | 3 Comments »

Shadowing the Anthropocene: Eco-Realism for Turbulent Times arrived in the mail today. It’s published by punctum books, an open-access academic and para-academic publisher I’ve found to be a real delight to work with. Eileen Joy deserves a medal for her leadership of punctum, and Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei’s cover and book design is beautiful. The book […]

Peirce’s “long revolution”

Posted in Anthropocene, Spirit matter, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on September 4, 2015 | 10 Comments »

As the world’s refugee crisis builds — reminding us that much worse movements of people loom ahead, and much worse wars, as climate systems destabilize and the capitalist world-ecology unravels in the decades and centuries ahead — I can’t help asking myself what, if anything, philosophy can offer in response. It depends on which philosophy, of course. But […]

Preparing my Peirce Centennial proposal

Posted in Cinema, Media ecology, tagged , , , , on July 1, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

It will be quite an event for Peirce scholars. My proposed paper will be on applications of Peirce to film theory, and in particular the two neo- (quasi-?) Peircian approaches that I present in Ecologies of the Moving Image. The first of these builds on Sean Cubitt’s three-part typology of the image (pixel–cut–vector, which I […]

s(S)peculative r(R)ealism & philosophy-as-life

Posted in Academe, Philosophy, Process-relational thought, tagged , , , , , on February 27, 2011 | 7 Comments »

It’s nice to see Speculative Realism capturing the attention of SF writer and all-round idea impresario Bruce Sterling – see his Speculative Realism as “philosophy fiction.” As a long-time SF lover, the idea of “philosophy fiction” has always appealed to me. Some of the best writing in the genre has been profoundly metaphysical, which is […]

Bennett’s conatus

Posted in Philosophy, Process-relational thought, tagged , , , on June 25, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Just as I was getting ready to wind up the Bennett discussions yesterday, Scu posted a substantial piece about chapter 7, and promised more to come on chapter 8. I’m glad to see it, since I thought there could have been more discussion about both (and about some general issues throughout the book). Picking up […]
