Absolutely amazing orator and a truly evolutionary process of thinking into the organised abstract if that's possible.

This man is a supreme poseur.

I am becoming "infinitesimal"

[dss3eu]

He's not got it quite right - at least according to Kauffman's 'Origins of order' which in many ways sums up the contemporary take on evolution (which is very much influenced by complexity theory). The 'survival of the fittest' is not thrown out of evolution, it is adapted or rather better understood thourgh 'fitness landscapes' and spaces of possibility (which are not infinite).

Desire. DeLanda excises any discussion of desire from his 'Deleuzian' assemblage theory.

[masbbo]

So the intro to Deleuze is whack, but the lecture its self is becoming.

[masbbo]

DeLanda my mayne, you ain't breakin it down so good brother. "Deleuze never said a word about phenomenology" The dude was all about moving passed phenomenology, he was all over it.

[almirrrapo]

As far as i know, post-modernism allows everything to be questined and can deconstruct all "real" ideas. plus post-modernist clearly accept the realtion between object and subject. maybe i am wrong but i dont understand how post-modernist are ideologist. even language might be consideret as the fundamental object. hmmm

[synchretist]

while this is a useful explication deleuzes concept, the portrayal of idealism or postmodern thinking is just a laughable reduction.

[Krelianx]

This is rather pathetic. To call post-modern philosophy 'idealist', an to put phenomenology in the same bag, is a gross simplification. This is not serious, or rigorous.

[gen6k]

alot of postmodern philosophy does fall under idealism or correlationism which is a larger class of idealism. if youre not a realist youre an idealist. the decendents of kant.

[Krelianx]

Please enlighten me, because I don't know of a single post-modern philosopher who does not, in principle, object agains the traditional Cartesian substantialist notion of the subject. So where is the idealism?

[Krelianx]

@gen6k Correlationism is not idealism.
