Fredric Jameson’s most wide-ranging work seeks to crystalize a definition of ”postmodernism”. Jameson’s inquiry looks at the postmodern across a wide landscape, from “high” art to “low” from market ideology to architecture, from painting to “punk” film, from video art to literature.

What, exactly, is post-truth? Is it wishful thinking, political spin, mass delusion, bold-faced lying? McIntyre analyzes recent examples - claims about inauguration crowd size, crime statistics, and the popular vote - and finds that post-truth is an assertion of ideological supremacy by which its practitioners try to compel someone to believe something regardless of the evidence. Yet post-truth didn't begin with the 2016 election; the denial of scientific facts about smoking, evolution, vaccines, and climate change offers a road map for more widespread fact denial.

Liberal democracy is the dominant political ideology in the West today. Taken at face value it suggests an equivalency between its two central components-liberalism and democracy - but as Fred Dallmayr argues here, the two operate in very different registers. The two frequently conflict, endangering our public life. This is evident in the rise of self-centered neo-liberalism as well as autocratic movements in our world today.

Poststructuralism changes the way we understand the relations between human beings, their culture, and the world. Following a brief account of the historical relationship between structuralism and poststructuralism, this Very Short Introduction traces the key arguments that have led poststructuralists to challenge traditional theories of language and culture.

Our overwhelmingly divisive socio-political climate is among the greatest challenges of our time. Not only in America but also internationally, it seems that almost every issue raises incredibly vocal oppositional views. Not least of all, the arising of vast networks of disinformation is a testament to our deepening rifts. With so much hostility, antagonism, cynicism, and discord, how can we mend the ruptures in our society?

Every week we ask, 'What does it look like to live as a Christian today?' When our culture is post-Christian. When the world has stripped the institutional church of authority. We are getting back to the roots. Back to a Gospel that embodies grace and love for our neighbors.

Conversations in art, technology and philosophy

Published in 1925, this captivating collection of essays serves as a sequel to its predecessor, delving into the lives of renowned figures through the lens of medical and psychological analysis. Each biography thoughtfully examines the interplay between health and the pivotal moments in the lives of historical icons such as Samuel Johnson, King Henry VI, Henry VIII, Mary Tudor, Queen Elizabeth I, Ivan the Terrible, and many others. The author, drawing upon a unique perspective as a doctor, argues that the health conditions of these leaders have often been overlooked by historians. With ...

"La terrible, l'indicible, l'impensable banalité du mal." Trop souvent amputée, cette citation pose chez Hannah Arendt les bases d'une réflexion résolument ancrée dans le réel. L'émergence des totalitarismes, appuyés sur des idéologies puissantes, force les philosophes du XXe siècle à se positionner. La relation des penseurs avec le pouvoir et les mécaniques intellectuelles justifiant la barbarie des actes sont au cœur d'une problématique ancienne alors portée à son paroxysme.

Hans Jonas et Günther Anders, élèves de Heidegger, respectivement ami et époux de Hannah Arendt, ont forgé des philosophies de penseurs juifs ayant vécu sous l'Allemagne nazie. Père du principe de précaution, Hans Jonas ouvre la voie de la bioéthique, ce questionnement primordial face à la nouvelle puissance créatrice mais aussi destructrice de la technique. Günther Anders alerte sur l'obsolescence de l'homme, encouragé à de plus en plus de passivité et d'hnonymat face à la télévision, la radio et les divertissements.

Amongst all the noise, conspiracy culture has attempted to explain our reality in one way or another. Unfortunately, the mere attempts can lead us astray, sprouting silos & echo chambers. With tired rhetoric that inevitably concludes with a feeling of hopelessness. On the flip side, it is easy to fall into the role of a sceptic. Simply due to a lack of information we can hang our hat on. So here we are in the middle. Avoiding absolutism, holding some 'working' ideas about the world we find ourselves in, while remaining open to the idea that we may indeed be barking up the wrong tree. A shift ...

"Le Post-Anarchisme expliqué à ma Grand-Mère", c'est par l'humour que Michel Onfray aborde son introduction à un courant de pensée mal entendu, initié par de nombreux philosophes, qui exprime une volonté de restructurer et réorganiser l'ordre établi et non pas de promouvoir une forme de désordre.

Collective for leading common spaces beyond growth. #postgrowthplanning - A planning in which growth is neither a necessary starting point nor a goal that must be achieved. One that does work on change, but not on growth. One that works on quality of life, but not with more of the same growth solutions. One in which planners engage and motivate.

Here at the end of time, the rules have changed. Things once thought solid and defined have become deranged. If you're wandering and looking for a way though, boy have we got some great news for you. Reality has cracked, the world only looks black, the prison was just what you had accepted.Two middle-aged fools explore the stories that make up humanity, and how they influence where we are in history and where we are going.

Debruçar-se sobre a nossa realidade política, social e artística é um exercício que hoje requer a aproximação de um conceito que é discutido há pelo menos dois mil e quinhentos anos com outro recém-chegado ao léxico das grandes questões e que hoje praticamente define o contemporâneo. Ética e pós-verdade discute o tema em diferentes campos da criação e da reflexão ao reunir cinco ensaios com enfoques que passeiam pela política, psicanálise, filosofia e literatura, cinco abordagens distintas apresentadas por grandes nomes da cena cultural e intelectual brasileira.

How have humans become powerful enough to disrupt the world's climate, trigger the sixth mass extinction, and cause serious harm to the biosphere? And with all the abilities and technologies we've accrued, why do we so often oppress instead of uplift one another? Join us as we explore the hidden driver behind the converging crises of the 21st century. It all comes down to power - our pursuit of it, overuse of it, and abuse of it. Learn how different forms of power arose, what they mean for us today, and why giving up power just might save us. This podcast is based on the groundbreaking book, ...

Postmodernism claims that "modernity", which grew from the Enlightenment to the Industrial Revolution and Marxism, has collapsed. We now live in an endlessly "contemporary" culture, a virtual world of "hyperreality" containing such strange phenomena as post-Holocaust amnesia, Disneyland, cyberspace, and Fukuyama's proclaimed "end of history".
