With passionate kisses of parting
This piece is part of a special section of "hundreds" in honor of Kathleen Stewart, examining the origins of our personal principles and ideology
Cuerpo Animal, Rostro Inhumano
Caring and Criminalising
In the United States, many schools hire police to patrol the grounds and more call upon police to arrest students for violation of school policies. Many of these will be incarcerated within the subsequent five years. The widespread adoption of surveillance cameras, zero tolerance, and police presence in schools has resulted in more students being criminalised. This reflective essay examines the ideology supporting this school-to-prison pipeline. …
The Need, the Duty
Pleasure and Seduction in the Political Order
Most gossip is keeping in touch with a wide constellation of people, and when we gossip about their foibles, it is to produce amusement, pleasure in their irrational actions. In the human political order, seduction, glamour, and display are determinative forces in producing cooperation and conflict

Irrevocable
Irrevocable
In his latest book, the prolific writer and thinker Alphonso Lingis brings interdisciplinarity and lyrical philosophizing to the weight of reality, the weight of things, and the weight of life itself. Drawing from philosophy, anthropology, psychology, religion, and science, Lingis seeks to uncover what in our reality escapes our attempts at measuring and categorizing. Writing as much from his own experiences and those of others as from his longst…
A Surrealist Writer’s Diary of a Twenty-One-Month Anthropological Expedition
Michel Leiris (1901, 1990) joined the surrealist group led by André Breton in 1921; he published a volume of poetry and a surrealist novel, Aurora. In 1922 he began a lifelong practice of keeping a diary. He married Louise Godon (“Zette”) in 1926. In 1929, afflicted with depression, a year of sexual impotence, masochist tendencies, alcohol abuse, and writer’s block, he entered psychoanalysis with Dr. Adrien Borel. His diary, dedicated to total lu…
Gold
January 13, 2012. The plane is circling down into Cajamarca, a small city in the Andes in northern Peru. We see it laid out in the hollow, a gridiron of streets from a central plaza, advancing up one side of the circle of green mountains. In the small airport a sign says Bienvenido a Cajamarca, Cuidad de Fiesta. I have arrived two weeks before Carnaval. The guidebook says that Cajamarca is the Rio de Janeiro of Peru; from all over Peru people com…
A Hard and Brutal Mysticism
Why should nature evoke in us any emotion beyond those, such as fear and hunger, that are needed for survival? People love space outside of occupied places, vast dimensions and depths filled with substantiality and vibrancy. They love the immense multitudes of life-forms that exist and grow independently of people
Philosophy’s Task
The Future of Torture
What is called physical torture comprises methods of producing severe pain. What is called psychological torture comprises methods to produce exhaustion, fear, anxiety, hopelessness, desperation, psychic disorganization, loss of control of mental states and acts, and extreme dependency. Physical torture aims to arouse intense fear. Psychological torture is the torture of the future, not only because it is “no marks” torture but also because its a…
What Is Given in Experience
What is given in observation? A basic tenet of empirical science is that reliable knowledge results from observation, with natural perception and with refined instruments, which is repeatable and verifiable by impartial observers in standard conditions. An observer's observation, in the first-person singular, is then equivalent and interchangeable with those of others. But what is really observed and given in such observation? There is a task her…

Building for Movement / Subręsti Judesiui
The essay grants Martin Heidegger's understanding of human existence as building a dwelling that embodies and discloses the surrounding world – equally required as an extension of building. Moving through the various layers of human dwellings, from huts through mansions, to high rises and gated communities, we think that humans are the privileged species capable of sedentary life in their dwellings. Yet our feet tell us another story, call our be…
Belief
Today we tend to think of belief as an act of an individual mind, committing itself to statements that result from its own investigations or to the statements of others, members of a religious community or a scientific discipline. Michel de Certeau, philosopher, psychoanalyst and Jesuit priest, instead looks for belief first in our practical relations with others.

Return of the First-Person Singular
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Edmund Husserl launched phenomenology as a rigorous and positivist science of subjectivity. It was set up to deal with specific problems in other scientific disciplines. The discovery of paradoxes in mathematics had put in question the ultimate rationality of mathematics and of the mathematized empirical sciences. Husserl's phenomenology worked to trace mathematics and logic back to their fundamental uni…
The Weight of Reality
The following series of reflections are suggestive of the sense in which phenomenology, for Lingis, is personal and poetic, a mode of illuminating the world, its people and its things, bodies living and dead, that he encounters, and is moved by, in his journeys to numerous places

Outside
When we love someone, we are attached to his or her surface colors, forms, warmth, movements. We avoid envisioning the inner organs and contents of his or her body. The external colors and patterns of other species are snares for our eyes.We can see nothing of what is behind our skin. We move, we act by not seeing, by not watching how we move. Nothing is more alien to us than the transparent bodies of box jellyfish.Our sensibility is turned outwa…
Dignity
Emanations
Contact
Through words and gestures we communicate with one another about the outlying environment, and we also form representations of one another. But we also make contact with one another. Through tact we make contact with the anxieties, rage, shame, shyness, and secrecy of another. In caresses we make contact with the pleasure of the other. Our caresses are moved by the other, by the spasms of torment and pleasure in the other
Bestiality
Bestiality Alphonso Lingis (bio) Sea anemones are animate chrysanthemums made of tentacles. Without sense organs, without a nervous system, they are all skin, with but one orifice that serves as mouth, anus, and vagina. Inside, their skin contains little marshes of algae, ocean plantlets of a species that has come to live only in them. The tentacles of the anemone bring inside the orifice bits of floating nourishment, but the anemone cannot absor…

A New Philosophical Interpretation of the Libido
Working with new concepts of impulsive intensity- libidinal space, libidinal time, libidinal identity, Jean-Fran?;ois Lyotard's Economie libidinale' sets out to interpret in a coherent discourse the essential data of psychoanalysis, which had been formulated in a fragmented- physicalist, mechanist, hydraulic and mythical--language, or, in the phenomenological reworking, in mentalist, intentional, language. But Lyotard's book does not only devise …

The Signs of Consciousness
According to Husserl, consciousness has, moment by moment, insight into itself. It is given to itself. Its being is present to itself. This self-consciousness in consciousness is conceived as intuition - immediacy. Consciousness is in relationship with itself immediately, not through intermediaries, not through signs. And adequately, apodictically--not through aspects, profiles, adumbrations. Consciousness itself produces this evidence of itself;…
