We bloggers (ack) are always tediously prating upon whatever trivial notion enters our field of vision, but today I’ve decided to jot down some things I’m not doing. Here’s a few interesting, but unread articles collecting dust on my desk (in handy pdf form). What can I do? I’m distracted by the Euro Cup (which generally involves beers) and now, in addition to that there’s the near constant Wimbledon coverage (where I can watch everyone mis-pronounce Shahar Peer’s name, it’s not Shah-har, it’s Shachhhh-arr, Mary Carrillo!). Watching Dick Enberg falling apart on air is always fun, give these people a coffee break! Not to mention, um, you know, teaching. There’s always that. These all look worth paying some attention to, someday:
1. Michel Henry, “Material Phenomenology (or, Pathos and Language)” [pathos_and_language]
2. Here’s Jacques Derrida and Francois Laruelle chit chatting about some stuff: “Controversy over the Possibility of a Science of Philosophy” [laruelle-derrida]
And here’s two by Graham Harman:
3. “On Vicarious Causation” [harman_vicarious_causation]
4. “The Metaphysics of Objects: Latour and his Aftermath” [harmangraham-latour]
