Fundamental Dialectic of Soul and Spirit
Is the soulfulness of the soul. Accepting that spirituality is not an empty concept, the soul in its soulfulness is fundamental to the spirit in its spirituality. The two have both been equated and differentiated but only one is more disclosive of ground in general and the ground of the human being specifically. If we take spirit to mean consciousness or reason or mental cognition, then the soul takes on the locus and inner core and essence of the human being in its activity. If reason and cogni...

The Courtroom Phenomenon and Analogy
It seems more and more fitting, relevant, and apt to undertake and adopt the role or analogy of the courtroom, specifically in the character of presentation of the situation, presentation of facts and evidence, and deliberation on a verdict: deliberation of a decision to decide what comes forth, what comes next, how to proceed, and the verdict of the decision. The character of deliberation on a decision deciding the outcome. But further, interpretation of the outcome: deciding its meaning. This ...

An Initial Metaphysical Basis for Software Engineering
Wherein I shave the spherical yak in a vacuum because I think it actually does make a difference to have a coherent philosophy and metaphysics. It might matter now more than ever.

The Strange Case of Mudtown Lion
Or how I discovered that I might be a fictional character in someone else's metaphysical experiment. It began, as these things often do, with a perfectly innocent question. I've been reading Philip K. Dick's VALIS, a novel that has the peculiar effect of making you suspicious of just about everything, including your own thoughts. For...

Earth and Unearth
Rootedness-in-soil: not blood and soil, but lifeblood and earthblood. The earthly character of dwelling mortal existence. Yet, rootedness also means unrootedness: without absolute ground and justification. This groundlessness is originary guilt: null ground of a nullity. The earthly is the given. The unearthly is the debt. Here, components of what is owed and what is given. Debt and givenness. What is owed: given as already null and default. Debt | givenness. Not opposites but originary structur...

What We Mistake for Silence
Clay’s daily note this morning contains a small observation from a hotel room near King’s Cross. Underground trains pass close by every few minutes. He hears them, except that after a while he doesn’t. The sound remains in the room; attention has stopped reporting it. I keep returning to that difference. A thing can continue...

Threefold Character of Labor: Civilization, Society, Culture
Let us meet labor from how it appears everyday. Everyday, we must head to the factory or other workplace. We meet our coworkers, managers, and bosses at the worksite on the days divided up that constitute the working days. These working days constitute the work week. The work week is established such that, for the majority of days, labor can produce the most for the most amount of time. For the most amount of time, labor is concerned with gathering, assorting, assembling, and managing: building—...

Finding Your Voice, and Philosophy From the Outside
There is a need to develop my own voice and style of speaking and writing. I have gained much from reading Heidegger, and Nietzsche before him. It is hard to write in my own authentic way when, after reading Heidegger, I cannot help but to channel him and embody his literary style, mannerisms, and prose. The same can be said of Nietzsche: one cannot simply read him without his firebrand and conviction seeping into one's own words. These two thinkers paradigmatically, in their mastery of language...

Writing is how I do philosophy. I went …
Writing is how I do philosophy. I went into Waterstones on Gower st in London intending to find a book about writing. The shop itself was superb—the kind of place a bookshop should be—and I wandered through the writing shelves waiting for something to reach out and demand a place in my collection. A few...

A New Design: Tradition, Rituals, and Astrology
Why I redesigned the blog—trading gruvbox for greyscale and 'Moonflower' palette and Bunny-hosted serifs—as a small ceremony to give my writing weight and gravity. On tradition and ritual as a grammar of gestures and the shared shadows of Plato's Cave. Plus, the Year of the Fire Horse—Japan's 1966 birth-rate collapse, my own Fire Rat clashing with the year, and next year's Fire Sheep as a tender, brave omen.

I've Never Wasted My Time Writing
Why writing—and writing back—is never wasted time. From Patricia Lange's troll whispering to reparative civility, deep canvassing, Daryl Davis, Megan Phelps-Roper, and moral elevation, I defend engaging difficult people as a deliberate ethical practice rooted in curiosity, grace, and love.

Theorizing the Human Sciences in the Age of Absolute Disruption: Historical Criticism and Its Remainders
Adam DJ Brett reads Jason Ānanda Josephson-Storm’s trilogy — The Myth of Disenchantment, Metamodernism, and The Genealogy of Genealogy — as one project asking whether a thing exists, how it arose, what grounds our claims about it, and whether it is desirable.

Research Project and Reading List
I have started a research project which traces the origin and development of the State throughout Western philosophy and a transformation of the concept of the sacred from the cosmos and the gods to being located in the State, what is called civil religion. This research project will inform the development of a book I'm titling End Times, Eschatology, Prophecy. The basis and inspiration for all this is Martin Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy (Of the Event) (German: Beiträge zur Philosophi...

Notes toward a philosophy of an ordinary life.
1. I have called the blog a place where I think in public. The phrase once felt like permission. I didn’t need to arrive with conclusions. I could show the workings: the question under examination, the half-built bridge, the sentence doubling back because it had discovered something behind it. A space where uncertainty is embraced...

Metapolitics and the Essence of the Political
We shall enter a discussion here about the political and philosophy, in the aim of what we call metapolitics, in order to understand the standing of politics and philosophy, and our standing within them. However, the words “political philosophy,” “politics,” “political,” and “political theory,” as well as the political as such, seem foreign to us, some affairs that go on in academia and only carry weight in higher education institutions and their dry technical textbooks. These words don’t have a...
