"It is not me who recognizes this identity, but it recognizes itself, and I am merely its organ" - F.W.J. Schelling, 1804 "Würzburg Lectures", (SW I/6, 143)

Huge holiday sale over at SUNY Press. This includes, among many other wonderful books, my own "Schelling and Spinoza: Realism, Idealism, and the Absolute". Check it out at sunypress.edu (Beer not included)

Made it to Guelph for the Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy. On Friday I will be presenting my paper "Karoline von Günderrode's Necro-Ecology". The full program can be found here: c-scp.org/wp-content/upl…

Just received word that my article "The Problem of Nature and the Promise of Abolition in Schelling’s Political Philosophy from 1800 to 1810" will be included in the new issue of Schelling-Studien, so that's pretty exciting.

My dream is to see the fireworks on Giedi Prime before I die.


Working my way through the "Fichte Studies". Quite a challenging text. Novalis has some very fun lines in here though. "Every rooster is master over its own droppings" (50). "Only the coward is not immortal" (130). "Practice slowness" (133).

I'm not super into Halloween, but my partner is. So this year the Boy is dressed as his hero: The Mailman. (Not included are the hat and package. He hates hats and the box confused him). Happy Halloween folks.

Next up is "Fichte Studies" from Novalis. Serious whiplash going from Fichte's 1804 Lectures to this. "Philosophy should not answer more than it is asked. It can generate nothing" (12). Laruelle would have liked that one.

Saddened to hear of François Laruelle's passing. A real inspiration and an exemplar of kindness. "There is really a chaos, but it is the chaos of the real and of the knowing of the real, which philosophy has never mastered" (Laruelle, Theory of Identities, 247).

As I work through this wonderfully purple copy of Fichte's 1804 Lectures, I'm struck that there seems to be something missing from the "standard" account of the Fichte-Schelling confrontation. I would love any recommendations for readings on Fichte's theory of organics.

There is something a bit frustrating about obsessing over finding any and all minor issues in my application materials and then seeing this in a job posting. Though it is a bit tempting to submit an omnibus "cover letter CV article or chapter length writing sample materials..."

I don't engage with blue check accounts, but after sharing a quote from Fichte I found interesting one such individual responded with an incredibly ignorant and racist claim. I have blocked them, but if their reply is still visible to others please know I deeply disagree with it.
