Châtelet with Peirce. A Semiotic Conception of Category Theory
Gilles Châtelet aimed to provide a fresh philosophical point of view on the relationship between physics and mathematics by weaving together the concepts of diagram, gesture, and space in a new and creative configuration. He was especially intrigued by the possibilities inherent in using structures imported from one domain of mathematics as the basis for a diagrammatic notation in another domain, as evidenced by his discussion of knot theory in h…
Backpropagation of Spirit
This article examines types of abductive inference in Hegelian philosophy and machine learning from a formal comparative perspective and argues that Robert Brandom’s recent reconstruction of the logic of recollection in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit may be fruitful for anticipating modes of collaborative abductive inference in human/A.I. interactions. Firstly, the argument consists of showing how Brandom’s reading of Hegelian recollection may b…

The semiotics of intuition, care, and esotericism in education
A review of Inna Semetsky’s The Edusemiotics of Images: Essays on the Art-Science of Tarot with reference to Peircean semiotics, Deleuze’s philosophy of difference and the feminist ethics of care
Diagrammatic Immanence
A renewal of immanent metaphysics through diagrammatic methods and the tools of category theorySpinoza, Peirce and Deleuze are, in different ways, philosophers of immanence. Rocco Gangle addresses the methodological questions raised by a commitment to immanence in terms of how diagrams may be used both as tools and as objects of philosophical investigation. He integrates insights from Spinozist metaphysics, Peircean semiotics and Deleuze's philos…

The Theoretical Pragmatics of Non-Philosophy
Brandom's method of analyzing pragmatic relations among different practices and vocabularies through meaning-use diagrams is used to specify how Laruelle's nonphilosophical suspension of the Principle of Sufficient Philosophy may be distinguished from the philosophical auto-critiques of such thinkers as Badiou and Derrida. A superposition of diagrams modeling philosophical sufficiency on the one hand and supplementation through the Other on the o…
Spinoza for Our Time
Antonio Negri, a leading scholar on Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) and his contemporary legacy, offers a straightforward explanation of the philosopher's elaborate arguments and a persuasive case for his ongoing utility. Responding to a resurgent interest in Spinoza's thought and its potential application to contemporary global issues, Negri demonstrates the thinker's special value to politics, philosophy, and a number of related disciplines.

Laruelle and Ordinary
Ecce Monstrum
How should the academic study of religion engage the twentieth-century French thinker Georges Bataille? Bataille locates in limit-experiences such as sacrifice, eroticism, and torture the instruments of an intolerable ecstasy he calls sacred. This immediate sacred experience rejects outside of itself any and all disciplinary forms or archival codifications—in short, any possibility of academicization. For Bataille, the sacred is essentially and e…

Divinatory Chances
Divinatory Chances Rocco Gangle (bio) Two issues for Deleuze's thought converge in its encounter with combinatorial divination: (1) the problem of a philosophical affirmation of the "whole of chance" or of "all chance in a single moment" (Difference and Repetition [DR] 198; Logic of Sense [LS] 180); and (2) the serial and habitual nature of relations between the virtual and the actual (DR 208-212; LS 36-41). Both issues concern an incidence or ov…
Political Phenomenology
In light of the "theological turn" in recent phenomenology, a question arises for contemporary thought of how the relationships among philosophy, religion, and democratic politics might be recontextualized and understood from a specifically phenomenological perspective. Essential in addressing this question is a critical examination of the method of reduction, or epoche instituted by Edmund Husserl as the original, core practice of phenomenology.…
