Buddhism has its “Two Truths” and its “Three Truths“: the “Two” were made famous by Indian philosopher Nagarjuna; the “Three” a little less famous by Chinese philosopher Zhiyi. About a year ago, I offered up four perspectives on mortality, and here I want to make the case that they could be seen as a kind […]

What’s over that dark mountain?
Posted in Eco-culture, Eco-theory, tagged eco-justice, eco-nationalism, ecofascism, globalism, globalization, Heidegger, localism, Paul Kingsnorth on March 22, 2017 | 8 Comments »
Paul Kingsnorth’s “The Lie of the Land: Does Environmentalism Have a Future in the Age of Trump?“, published in last Saturday’s Guardian, has elicited some interesting responses, for interesting reasons. Kingsnorth is a well known novelist and environmental public intellectual, a back-to-the-land “dark ecologist,” former deputy-editor of The Ecologist (which for decades played an indispensible, […]
“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 […]
Elixir as child’s play

Marina Zurkow’s Elixir videos are wonderful, as is her Renatured blog. (Thanks to Tim for posting about her work.) There is something sad and elemental about them, in their depiction of the self-containedness of our worlds and their ultimate vulnerability in the face of the chaos beyond. At the same time, the title suggests an […]
happy hallowe’en
Posted in Spirit matter, tagged Bateson, ecological pilgrimage, green pilgrimage, Heidegger, paganism on October 31, 2010 | 1 Comment »
As occasionally happens, I was invited to speak last week at a local Unitarian Universalist service (in Stowe, Vermont). Since today/night is Hallowe’en/Samhain and that’s part of what I spoke about, I thought I would share a brief summary of the talk, which was called “Hallowed Ground, Sacred Space, and the Space Between the Worlds.”
Heidegger smash-up as live web philosophy
Posted in Academe, Media ecology, Philosophy, tagged Continental philosophy, Heidegger on October 25, 2009 | 3 Comments »
There’s something about the flare-up over Carlin Romano’s Chronicle of Higher Ed article “Heil Heidegger!” that manages to crystallize both the virtues and the potential utter barrenness of the web as a site for direct philosophical action (i.e., constructive debate that contributes, however marginally, to philosophy). Romano’s article takes advantage of the forthcoming publication of […]
interview on Heidegger, deep ecology, moon-shots, & more

Paul Ennis has posted an interview with me over at Another Heidegger Blog. It follows a few great interviews with distinguished company — philosophers Graham Harman, Levi Bryant, and Lee Braver — and I hope it and the rest of the series generate productive cross-currents and conversations between philosophers, greens, and others. Meanwhile, I’m in […]
cinematic ecologies
Posted in Cinema, Eco-culture, Philosophy, tagged Agamben, ecocriticism, ecomedia, film, Heidegger on July 11, 2009 | 7 Comments »
As ecocriticism expands and deepens in scope (of subject matter & media examined), extent (internationally), and diversity (in approaches, connections with other schools of thought, etc.), its interactions with non-literary fields such as cinema studies, theatre/performance studies, and musicology (as I posted about recently) are starting to develop in healthy ways. The ASLE conference had […]
between continental & environmental philosophy
Posted in Eco-theory, Philosophy, tagged Continental philosophy, Deleuze, ecotheory, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Spinoza on May 30, 2009 | 26 Comments »
Responding to a post on this blog, Kvond, a little while ago, raised the question of the relationship between Arne Naess, originator of “deep ecology,” and Spinoza – which made me think of the interesting if sporadic/uneven/episodic relationships between the main traditions of continental philosophy and environmental thought. A glance at the changing editions of […]
