You don't have to be an abolitionist to know that extraterritorial, indefinite detention in camps is wrong for ANYONE. The fixation on one guy being "innocent" is really toxic. #FreeThemAll

when Adorno & Horkheimer were sending each other letters full of insults in 34, Adorno—probs the single real reader of the recently published “Dämmerung”—writes a letter like ‘I hate you right now but I unconditionally love this book if you even care. We are destined to be friends. Give it up’ lmfao

Translations of two previously unpublished fragments on “Negative Metaphysics” by Herbert Marcuse (ca. 1933), original variations on the critique of Heidegger Horkheimer & Adorno were working on their own versions if at the time! (Link below)

I love that it’s a trans historical truth that philosophers will choose an enemy (whether that be a school, camp, or position) and accuse everyone they don’t like of it

The fact that bestimmtes sein and dasein were translated from Hegel as être-là will be the bane of my existence because now people think it’s necessarily existentialist/phenomenological.

IMO the solution to the Marxist periodization debates is to double down & get even more specific. You have to be ready to pull out a Foucault style “There were no homosexuals before 1870” or give it up & go home

Adorno in a 39 letter to Scholem says the Zohar reminded him of being a “short winded / near sighted city dweller” on a guided hike to see an elusive Chamois, didn’t, but got such a comprehensive “topology” of the habitat he vibrated with excitement that there could be one around any corner lol

funny thing about Benjamin reception—attempts to intro irreconcilable differences between his & Adorno/Horkheimer’s thought began as an effort to rescue Benjamin from his Marxism & communism & became an argument for the purity of his Marxism & communism. both wrong though

Engels thought that the future uninhabitability of the earth for humans posed problems for Hegel's philosophy of history. Natural scientists being 'fairy certain' about this proved that there is not only an 'ascending but also a descending branch of human history'!

I was struggling through an article which was outlining a scholars reading of a Philosopher (to see how it was received). I thought, this argument never seemed this hard to parse, open the original book and—as I correctly remembered—extremely lucid prose. The article author was just so turgid

French theory reads the Frankfurt School Foucault: Yes… the enlightenment *&* sociology—very ambivalent… Deleuze: Sure I’m doing Negative Dialectics. Habermas got lost after debate club & ended up in philosophy. Derrida: *Guy who’s only read Heidegger* Benjamin is giving me major Heidegger vibes
