EBL 51: Philosophy and The Scientific Image of Man w/ Dr. Jim Madden

Tyler is joined by Dr. Jim Madden, Philosopher of Mind and martial artist, to discuss his series of articles on the seminal work of philosopher Wilfred Sellars. Through a reading of Sellars' "Philosophy and the Scientific Image of Man", we discuss the true underlying worldview conflict in philosophy of mind and philosophy itself, overcoming mind-body dualism, the irreducibility of the manifest image, and Sellars' hope for the scientific image to take precedence without destroying the manifest image.

EBL 48: Hegel - Philosophy of Right, Part 2

For part 2 of our (Tyler, Joel, Josh) discussion of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, we move from Hegel's general argument to the specifics of how he applies them to the Law, Punishment, Marriage, Family, The State, and so on. We then offer some critiques, including on Hegel's theological views, before wrapping up with why you should both be critical and appreciative of Hegel's contributions.

EBL 47: Hegel - The Philosophy of Right

Tyler, Josh and Joel encounter the Plato of Germany - Hegel - and break down Hegel's project and its enduring influence across disciplines of knowledge/spheres of politics. Situating the Philosophy of Right within Hegel's larger corpus, the boys discuss Hegel's metaphysics of Social Identity, Hegel's understanding of the limits of the moral point of view, Hegel's Communitarianism, and why one must grapple with Hegel if one wants to grapple with political thinking today.

EBL 46: Maurice Merleau-Ponty - Being-in-the-world, Conclusion (Phenomenology of Perception, Part 4)

In the conclusion of our discussion of Merleau-Ponty's "Phenomenology of Perception", we discuss the last section of the text and our final thoughts. We discuss Merleau-Ponty's corrective of the Cartesian Cogito, his Husserlian and Heideggeran-infused discussion of temporality, his critique of Absolute Freedom, the meta-political implications of his account of class consciousness, and finally, we compare Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. Discussing their key points of difference and convergence, I argue in favor of Merleau-Ponty over Heidegger. We end with our general conclusion on the text and phenomenology itself.

EBL 45: Maurice Merleau-Ponty - The Perceived World (Phenomenology of Perception, Part 3)

In Part 3 of our exploration of Merleau-Ponty's "Phenomenology of Perception", we turn to the questions Merleau-Ponty raises and answers about the perceived world, discovering the radicality of Merleau-Ponty's arguments. The topics included are the perception of space, modalities of spatiality, sensation and qualia as motor physiognomy, the perception of movement and depth, MP's view on truth, the religious domains of the discovery of primordial pre-reflective consciousness, and political implications/lessons from MP's worldview.

EBL 43: Maurice Merleau-Ponty - Phenomenology of Perception (Introduction)

The boys reunite to introduce and discuss the work of seminal phenomenological philosopher and precursor of Embodied Cognition, Maurice Merleau-Ponty. We discuss why phenomenology matters, the critique of the empiricism and intellectualism in MP's day and our own, the concept of intentionality from Aquinas, Brentano, Husserl and MP, the Cartesian Cogito as the central antagonist to MP's own thought, and the 'contextual worldy 'sense' of sensation.

EBL 42: Louis Althusser - On Ideology

EBL reassembles with Tyler, Joel and Gio. We discuss the highly influential text on ideological state apparatuses by the Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser. We evaluate Althusser's arguments on the embodied and lived aspects of ideological reproduction of the means of production, how his argument both turns Marxism on its head but remains constrained by its dialectical materialist foundations.

EBL 41: Jean Baudrillard - Simulacra and Simulation

Tyler, Josh and Joel revive EBL for a discussion of Jean Baudrillard's 1983 text "Simulacra and Simulation". They discuss Baudrillard's insistence that symbols and signs in our contemporary society are no longer representing something, standing for something, or obscuring a reality underneath. Instead, reality is replaced by meaningless signs that make up our experience received through the media. All meaning becomes mutable. We discuss and at various times, critique Baudrillard.
