we just covered this angle: www.patreon.com/posts/159412...

new episode out today! professor Luke Ferguson joins us to talk about the history of constitutional law, how the Supreme Court gutted the project of reconstruction, and why the left should treat the law as a site of struggle 👇 www.patreon.com/posts/159412...

for every @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social episode we put out we get a pile of bad faith misreadings in our inbox, accusing us of all manner of reactionary nonsense. to you, our critics, I say: nothing. you howl uselessly into a yawning void prison of your own mind's construction

new episode out today! we talk about Kathi Weeks' The Problem with Work, which we are very sympathetic to even if we are probably trapped within some sort of the productivist modernism she criticizes. we promise we don't *want* to work! full ep is a patron exclusive: www.patreon.com/posts/158090...

new episode out today! we discuss Glen Coulthard's book Red Skin, White Masks, talking through land back as the normative basis of radical indigenous struggles and the inadequacy of recognitive politics in settler colonial states. stay vigilant, comrades ❤️ www.patreon.com/posts/156471...

new episode today! it's an Easter miracle as we continue our Marxism & Religion series with Terry Eagleton's reflections on Christianity, the spirit of love and revolution, and dunking on the small-souled Dawkinses of the world. bless up to our patrons! teaser below www.patreon.com/posts/154872...

This episode really rocked! All four of us firing on all cylinders begging for healthier uses of Black political history

Found this to be a great discussion about the instrumentalization of The CRM in modern politics, and how under neoliberalism it has been hollowed out into empty idpol and a non-liberatory set of Black politics. Even touches on the disgraceful speeches of Biden/Harris et al at Rev Jackson’s funeral

Me when leftists want to do art criticism:

new episode out today! we discuss Horkheimer's essay "Traditional and Critical Theory", asking what actually makes critical theory critical, and whether there's any genuinely critical theory going on right now. the social totality causing all kinds of problems rn fr www.patreon.com/posts/130-ma...

Reject rationalism! Embrace the proletarian élan vital!

This episode is really so beautiful. Especially in light of the past few weeks in Minnesota. We reflect on King’s meaning of love, political praxis and spirituality, and what it means to take seriously King as both a socialist *and* religious actor. Hope y’all enjoy it!

enainstitute.org/en/publicati... A new interview I did on the book! Really appreciate Yiannis and ENA for the invitation

National Farmers Union Canada presents Dr. William Paris, an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at the UofT, speaking about the potential of utopian thinking for helping people develop creative capacities to positively reshape ordinary life. @nfucanada.bsky.social @williammparis.bsky.social

How I feel before every talk I give on the book:

I am excited to have this conversation with Meena Krishnamurthy about her new book today at the Centre for Ethics! If you’re around please come through!

Loved doing this episode! I really got a lot out of TMS and you hope you all will too!

Art is not to be enjoyed! Get in and watch cinema!!

ndpr.nd.edu/reviews/race... Another generous review of my book!

“Much about what Ezra Klein argues is objectionable,”—including “the appeal to debate as ’persuasion,’ which confuses the mere appearance of giving and responding to reasons with the substance of good-faith rational inquiry,” writes columnist @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social.

"Our development as rational agents is never wholly self determined. We come into a world where certain meanings have already been decided before we have had the chance to evaluate them according to our individual powers of judgement."(p.150)

Haha well i am working on a series which is gonna discuss Hayek at length so I disagree! We live in Hayek's world, whether we like it or not. All the interesting parts have nothing to do with his conflict with Keynes tho

new episode out now! we talk about literature and Marxism through the work of Raymond Williams. this turns out mostly to be an excuse to reveal ourselves as big Jane Austen fans. the full episode is a patron exclusive, teaser below www.patreon.com/posts/139000...

this is one of the best episodes yet. if you aren't listening to this podcast you're playing yourself

we are doing our live show in Chicago THIS THURSDAY! we're gonna talk about a little book called THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, ever heard of it?? get your tickets here: epiphanychi.com/events/whats...

This is going to be a great time! And we may have one or two surprises during the show 😏

Another thoughtful and kind review of Race, Time, and Utopia! I am happy to see people engage the book. (Review link below)

new episode! we look back on Hardt and Negri's seminal Empire. they really captured something important about geopolitics at the turn of the century, but where are we now? much love to our militant comrades ❤️‍🔥 www.patreon.com/posts/133521...

this isn't hard to understand. the left believes in consistent things like 'everyone should have healthcare' and 'human rights are good' while the right has to encompass everything from traditional family values conservatism to overt nazi shit to seed oil antivax conspiracism and gamergate incels

I loved discussing MacIntyre (warts and all). After Virtue is a real classic!

This was a very insightful and fun conversation! Thanks for having me on!
