Descartes’ Error is a 1994 book by the neuroscientist Antonio Damasio which outlines the somatic marker hypothesis, a theory about how the mind and body not only interact, but are indissociable. Damasio argues that those feelings provide what he calls ‘somatic markers’ for the mind that aid decision making. They point us in the right (or wrong) direction. The rationalist or Cartesian view – what Damasio calls the ‘high-reason’ view – suggests that our mind is like a computer. We’re running through all of this incomplete knowledge about the job – the commute, the career prospects, the people, the location, while weighing up the advantages and disadvantages as if its a ledger. But Damasio writes ‘you will lose track. Attention and working memory have a limited capacity.’ This is where somatic markers come in. He writes: ‘before you apply any kind of cost/benefit analysis to the premises, and before you reason toward the solution of the problem, something quite important happens: When the bad outcome connected with a given response option comes into mind, however fleetingly, you experience an unpleasant gut feeling. Because the feeling is about the body, I gave the phenomenon the technical term somatic state.’ He continues: The somatic marker ‘forces attention on the negative outcome to which a given action may lead, and functions as an automated alarm signal which says: Beware the danger ahead if you choose the option which leads to this outcome. The signal may reject, immediately, the negative course of action and thus make you choose among other alternatives.’ Somatic markers – the collection of feelings we get from bodily and mental impulses – highlight certain options for us to deliberate while eliminating others. They’re a kind of screening process. Then & Now is FAN-FUNDED!

This is an introduction to Hegel s thought through the philosophy of the Sopranos. I look at Tony Soprano s torn identities while introducing concepts like the dialectic, the negation of the negation and Geist. While also looking at Hegel s interest in Antigone by Sophocles and its relevance to the Soprano s today. These are themes out of Hegel s thought in works like the Phenomenology of Spirit, the Science of Logic, and the Lectures on the Philosophy of History. I also look at the psychology of the Sopranos.

What was it like to live through the American Revolution? It’s easy, with the aid of retrospect, to think of the American Revolution as a binary battle between independence-seeking Americans and the tyrannical and oppressive British. Freedom loving businessmen and antiquated Royalists and Imperialists. But for many Americans, the revolutionary period was much more confusing – life, of course, was as much about life as it was about politics and the philosophy of rights. We can see this struggle through the life of the Bostonian painter John Singleton Copley, who may have left subtle but powerful political messages and questions in the art he left behind.

What s the difference between philosophy and the history of philosophy? The history of philosophy, in history departments, is called either the history of ideas or intellectual history, and the subtle differences in methodology produce wildly different results.

I introduce the thought of Gilles Deleuze through his 1968 book, Difference and Repetition. I look at Deleuze s basic concepts - especially difference, repetition and the virtual; his relationship to philosophers like Spinoza and Kant; and how he provides some of the ontological foundations for other poststructural or postmodern theorists like Foucault and Derrida. I also look at the relationship between the virtual, the Idea and the multiplicity - all important concepts for understanding the rest of Deleuze s work. This introduction should serve to give a fuller understanding of ideas like the Rhizome, the haecceity and lines of flight that are a large part of his later work with Félix Guattari - a Thousand Plateaus. Most importantly, I try to make understanding Deleuze as simple as possible! Then & Now is FAN-FUNDED!

What is the primary cause of an event or action? How do we look at the causes of the big political shifts of the past few years; Brexit, Trump, Populism. The Marxist philosopher, Louis Althusser, in an essay titled ‘Contradiction and Overdetermination’ argued that ruptures are overdetermined – it’s the plurality of causes that create a shift, but driven by economic determinism ‘in the last instance.’ Karl Polanyi disputed Marx’s economic determinism, arguing, along with Keynes, that it was ideas that drove history, not economics. I look at determinism in context with identity politics and the linguistic turn and poststructural turn of the mid-twentieth century. Is there anything we can learn? Then & Now is FAN-FUNDED!

Martin Luther King and Malcolm X are often seen as having opposing views about how to achieve equality and black rights. In his autobiography, Stride Towards Freedom, King emphasizes calmness and always non-violence. Whereas Malcolm X, in his autobiography, emphasized freedom by any means necessary, through the Nation of Islam and possibly Black Nationalism. The Civil Rights Movement was defined by these figures, but what if they were two sides of a single coin? What if both rationality and emotion are necessary for social action and for rendering what W.E.B du Bois called, in the Souls of Black Folks, the veil.

Affect Theory is a field that arose out of the ‘affective turn’ of the mid-90’s, influenced by thinkers like Spinoza, Bergson and Deleuze. I take a look at some of the foundational ideas, especially through the work of Brian Massumi (Parables of the Virtual) and Eve Sedgwick (Touching Feeling). The video looks at attempts to overcome the dualistic mind-body divide, so dominant in western thought. I also look at how Sedgwick draws upon the work of Judith Butler and Performative Utterances.

I try and take a fresh perspective on the Limits of the Market primarily through three thinkers: Michael Sandel (What Money Can t Buy: The Moral Limits of the Market), Paul de Grauwe (The Limits of Markets), and Keith Payne (The Broken Ladder: How Inequality Affects the Way We Think, Live, and Die). I try to synthesise these approaches and draw out one concept - externalities - that can help us think about the relationship between the individual and the collective in new ways.
