Life Against Smallism
That the order of explanation tracks the relative scale of objects involved and that the smaller objects must explain the larger is a common, often unchallenged assumption in the metaphysics of science. Following the work of Robert Wilson, Sam Coleman, and Graham Harman, we may call this assumption “smallism.” I will first diagnose smallism as an unargued for presupposition held by most major positions in the debate between reductionists and emer…
The cognitive and moral harms of platform decay
Platform decay is the phenomenon of major internet platforms, such as Google search, Facebook, and Amazon, systematically declining in quality in recent years. This decline in quality is attributed to the particular business model of these platforms and its harms are usually understood to be violations of principles of economic fairness and of inconveniencing users. In this article, we argue that the scope and nature of these harms are underappre…
Deleuze, Mathematics, Metaphysics
Deleuze, Mathematics, Metaphysics provides new solutions to the central problems of the philosophy of mathematics by reconstructing Deleuze’s metaphysics. It does so through direct engagement with analytic and continental philosophy, along with the formal and natural sciences. These new Deleuzian solutions reject equally other-worldly accounts of mathematics, such as Platonism, and accounts which treat mathematics as a useful fiction or an empty …
Inscription and Eternity
Chapter 4 argues that given the production of continuity, we can understand chronological time as itself produced. In other words, the temporal order of past, present and future, where the past precedes the present and the present the future, depends on a different temporal order. This second, metaphysical order grounds the more common chronological order as its condition of possibility and is itself grounded in the modal structure of objects and…
Extending Intensions
In What is Philosophy?, Deleuze and Guattari critique the relationship between formal logic and philosophy. They argue that since philosophy is the creation of concepts that are intensional, and formal logic reduces concepts to their extension, formal logic then has no special providence to decide philosophical questions. This may strike the logic-inclined philosopher as outdated given that there are now formal intensional logics designed to mode…
Building a Way
While Continental thought has no shortage of criticism and diagnosis of social, political, and ethical issues, it tends to avoid offering guidance on what to do about such issues. In Reconsidering the Life of Power, Garrison argues for a radical new alternative for the Continental tradition: it ought to stage an encounter with the Confucian tradition. This is because, he argues, both traditions have at the center of their political thought a focu…
