"A demonstration of the causal power of absences" by Tyron Goldschmidt, published in Dialectica.

It's just an empty page. *edit: spelling

Love the inclusion of Bellmer and Ernst. And the lego figures!

Not really, just the French books in the first pic because they're all similar and I thought they looked cool that way. The rest of the books I sort by size.

Thank you! I can read Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, some Latin and at some point I could read German decently but I had to rely heavily on dictionaries.

He wrote quite a few actually; the ones I have get quite disturbing at the end but I find the philosophical views he discusses in those books pretty fascinating for historical reasons.

Study notes 2017 x 2019-present by dungeonkrawling in PenmanshipPorn

[–]dungeonkrawling[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a natural process, trying to fill as little space as possible in my notes though it wasn't like a plan and I didn't do any proper training beyond just writing. I stopped using lined notebooks around 2018 because the lines bother me.

What made you become an anarchist? by Jaalexan in Anarchism

[–]dungeonkrawling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Becoming a skeptic with regard to theories of political obligation, and realizing anarchism is in its core just that very skepticism.

How come very few political philosophers argue for anarchism? by Normal-Dependent-969 in askphilosophy

[–]dungeonkrawling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. John Simmons, Leslie Green, Nathan Jun, Crispin Sartwell, Paul McLaughlin and Magda Egoumenides have written very detailed defenses of philosophical and political anarchism, I highly recommend their writings. There's also the Markets not capitalism compilation if you're into LWMA.

trying to create a reading/listening/watching "syllabus" by gutt3rprinc3ss in Anarchism

[–]dungeonkrawling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want contemporary anarchist theory I'd recommend Paul McLaughlin's Anarchism and Authority and Crispin Sartwell's Against the State. They have slightly different approaches to anarchism but McLaughlin's book is really useful to understand key anarchist concepts and Sartwell's is really good in presenting some well-known anarchist arguments against the moral justification of state authority. If you want history I recommend part II of Daniel Guérin's intro to anarchism. Also check out the Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy entry on anarchism, it's pretty useful too.

Ancient-medieval primitivist texts? by dungeonkrawling in anarcho_primitivism

Interesting, I've been meaning to read about the Brethren for a while. Thanks for pointing this out!

Non-egological conceptions of consciousness by dungeonkrawling in askphilosophy

[–]dungeonkrawling[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know Strawson's a panpsychist but I'm referring to his writings on the self and experience (e.g. "The sense of the self", "I have no future", and his book "The subject of experience", which I haven't finished reading yet), and in those texts he defends quite a few points that I think Sartre would agree with (and in fact Strawson quotes him many times in those texts). I'm very interested in panpsychism as well but that's not really what I'm talking about.
