Schelling & Whitehead inheriting Spinoza & Leibniz: God and the Modern World

I've just finished Matthew Stewart's popular book The Courtier and the Heretic: Leibniz, Spinoza, and the Fate of God in the Modern World (2006). I was hoping to fill out my own understanding of the historical context surrounding these two thinkers. I was not disappointed on this front. Stewart combed the archives and stitched together an entertaining story about the important influence (even if negative) that Spinoza had on Leibniz.

working on a translation of Julius Schaxel’s “Das biologische Individuum” (1930) on the natural-historical emergence of ‘the individual’ & the possibility of thinking its concept—by distinguishing it from individuality & dissolving the individual back into its constituent relations & movements!

We celebrated Mary Shelley in Bath, in Bath itself! Thank you @fionasampson.bsky.social and @waterstonesbath.bsky.social for helping us to bring her words back to life. We can’t wait to see them resurrected on screen too - roll on #frankenstein by @realgdt.bsky.social later this month! 💙📚#booksky

Pretty much the exact view Mary Shelley would have had of Jacob's Ladder on the facade of Bath Abbey from her window as she wrote chapter 4 of #Frankenstein in 1816. Note the stone angels ascending and descending... @realgdt.bsky.social we can’t wait to see this played out on screen too! 💙📚#booksky

1/ I'm excited to share that Franz Knappik’s and my Cambridge Element on Hegel and Colonialism is finally out – open access below! We trace how Hegel defends European colonial rule, including transatlantic slavery, and how that defence runs through his entire philosophical system.

The fragments, composed in parallel with the final drafts of Dialectic of Enlightenment (possibly outlines for its unwritten sequel), challenged everything I thought I knew about 1940s Critical Theory—been working on getting these ready to share for about a year!

My review of Kirill Chepurin's wonderful book "Bliss Against the World: Schelling, Theodicy, and the Crisis of Modernity" is now available online.

I hope you enjoy. Kirill's book was a pleasure to read and hopefully I was able to capture some of that.
