Why is Heidegger Significant?

We can see from our critique of Zizek’s ahistorical presentation of Lacan one of the reasons that Heidegger is important. Heidegger sets off this whole progression. Without Heidegger there would have not been this progression. There would have been something else, something…

Placing Lacan Deeper in his Historical Context

If we follow the hypothesis that Sartre is the vanishing mediator between Lacan and Heidegger then I think we can make some headway in understanding the relation between Lacan via Zizek in the context of Heidegger. But we need to step back and get…

The oblivion of Sartre for Zizek

Speculative Philosophy

Speculative Philosophy attempts to go beyond what is known into the unknown, even the unknown unknown. The most famous speculative philosopher was Hegel. He attempted to go beyond Kant’s categories by understanding the relations between the categories dialectically and then to derive a…

General Schemas Theory

General Schemas Theory starts with a simple question which is . . . What is the next level of abstraction up from General Systems Theory. Strange that this question does not seem to have been asked before despite almost sixty years of Systems Science research. When we say the next level…
