The Monetary Logic of Analytic Philosophy and its...

Johannes A. Niederhauser ·

2025/12/16

Analytic philosopher Peter Unger in 2014 declared that analytic philosophy is mostly if not entirely devoted to empty ideas that have no bearing on reality whatsoever. Not only are they empty in this regard however. They are also empty in themselves. This, in turn, makes them sort of monetary. Like money, analytic formal logic can randomly be applied to any given context (thereby destroying the context and content). Here is the piece by Ellie referred to in the video. This is a public episode. If

2025/11/15

Frictionless design is everywhere around us, drawing us into its interfaces, silently habituating us into relinquishing our attention for optimal user engagement. Not only the digital spaces we inhabit also the analogue is increasingly subjected to be frictionless. This denial of being, of the negativity inherent in being obliterates memory, history, time. How can we think and act to escape this?Philosophy of Health CoursePlato on Beauty Course This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this

The Opening of Hegel's "Science of Logic", with...

Johannes A. Niederhauser ·

2025/11/13

Houlgate’s scholarly approach to Hegel can be described as a “revised-metaphysical” interpretation of Hegel, which underscores the immanent, presuppositionless development of speculative thought in Hegel’s system. This reading challenges influential critiques by thinkers like Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, and Gilles Deleuze, who accuse Hegel of adhering to a predetermined conception of being. Houlgate argues instead that Hegel’s logic unfolds dynamically, free from foundational assumptions, and

Hölderin "What is Bildung?"

Johannes A. Niederhauser ·

2025/10/27

In a letter to his mother from October 1798 Friedrich Hölderlin explains his reasons for having left his position as a private tutor with a wealthy family in Frankfurt. According to the young poet the degradation of tutors to mere servants and the transactional relationship that results from this view diminishes severely the possibility of genuine Bildung. Learn more about Hölderlin’s Poetic Idealism and his idea of leisurely being at my German Idealism course. This is a public episode. If you'd

The Immortalisation Commission: Tracing Transhumanism

Johannes A. Niederhauser ·

2025/09/11

In this video I read from John Gray’s “The Immortalisation Commission”. The book is an important document to help us trace the transhumanist worldview which seems as old as modernity itself. As old as modern science and modernity. Beginning with Francis Bacon's fever dream of building a new temple of Salomon in The New Atlantis, to Victorian England, Marxism, and Bolshevism — The order of the Unnatural goes back centuries. This worldview stems from latent Christianity and its promise of salvation as

They're Killing the Humanities On Purpose!

Johannes A. Niederhauser ·

2025/08/20

A recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education argues that university administrators and their 19th century social-Darwinian ideology are to blame for the destruction of Humanities degrees at American colleges. I present here a critical reading of the article and outline what I see is really the driving force behind the destruction of the Humanities and why the Planetary University is a lost cause anyways. While universities are slashing philosophy and literature degrees, philosophia is alive
