  • A must for anyone interested in radical politics, philosophy, or psychoanalysis

    The breath, depth, and erudition of this podcast in the areas of philosophy, radical politics, and psychoanalysis is breathtaking. I’ve been introduced to many new books and thinkers through its episodes.

  • Catherine Liu interview - frustrating!

    I've just listened to the Catherine Liu interview and here are some things it made me think:

    = If you have a guest, LET THEM SPEAK. It's an interview WITH someone not the interviewer's chance to let forth.

    - If you have a guest, please rehearse your questions so we don't have to listen to a long ramble before we reach a very weak question.

    - If you have a guest and they ask YOU a question, please do not avoid the question or answer with 'Here's what I've read which has nothing to do with your... more

    Highbrow discourse analysis for the lowbrow listener stuck in a middlebrow world, after the beginning of the end of the End of History. In short, brilliant!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marxian Totality: Inverting Hegel to Expound Worldly Matters (feat. Kaveh Boveiri)
Q: What is the status of the epistemological break in Marx's theory of totality according to the guest?
The guest argues that while Althusser and some readings emphasize the epistemological break between Marx and Hegel, Marx's totality is still rooted in a Hegelian dialectic and remains interconnected with Hegelian categories. The break is not a complete severance; rather, Marx develops totality through capital, fetishism, and historical materialism, maintaining a continuity with Hegelian method even as he changes its content.
Marxian Totality: Inverting Hegel to Expound Worldly Matters (feat. Kaveh Boveiri)
Q: Can you summarize the role of Kosík in elaborating concrete totality and how it differs from Lukács?
Kosík develops a concrete totality by tying together praxis, labor, history, and daily life, and by foregrounding the role of the concept and phenomenological elements like Heidegger's influence. He critiques Lukács by showing Lukács' overemphasis on the whole and the social perspective, while Kosík refines the notion of totality as something that is lived and practised, not just a theoretical totality. This adds depth to understanding how social relations constitute the whole in everyday life, not only in abstract terms.
The Rise, Fall and Return of Lacan (feat. Judith Gurewich)
Q: How did Lacan live on for you after you shifted from clinical practice to publishing, and how do you continue to integrate Lacanian thought into your work today?
She explains that Lacanian training informs her newsletter and editorial work at Other Press, and that she uses Lacanian listening and attention as a core editor's instinct, while translating and curating works that demonstrate Lacan's relevance to social theory and contemporary discourse.
Vulgar Marxism and the Dilemmas of Worker Education (feat. Edward Baring)
Q: How does Lukács's emphasis on teaching the method differ from Kautsky's more conclusions-based approach?
Lukács argues that teaching only conclusions risks a stagnation of revolutionary potential, while teaching the method empowers workers to see how social relations produce their reality and thus leads to more robust, self-aware political action.
Vulgar Marxism and the Dilemmas of Worker Education (feat. Edward Baring)
Q: Could you say more about what motivated your exploration of this topic and how you situate it in the broader history of Marxism?
I approach it as an intellectual historian interested in ideas that have shaped political practice, and I want to understand how mass education and the attempt to translate complex theory into accessible formats influenced the trajectory of socialist movements.
