For my current reading...
I am nibbling away at "The Raid and other stories" - short stories by Tolstoy.
So far, I've read "Man and Master," "What Men Live By," <3 and "How Much Land Does a Man Need?"
It was cold here and I was miserable when I was started some of them...
...but the stories made me feel like "At least I don't have it this bad!"
(and they made me feel really bad for the cold the characters in the stories were experiencing. and the snow. all that snow. and holes in shoes. and...)

Which of the kinds of p-s do you mean?
The
"we're gonna [or should] put the secular and religious on a more even footing, engage in tolerant dialogue" school,
The
"we never really were becoming secular, so now we're gonna stop pretending and deal with the issues from a different stance" flavor,
or the
"We're already secular in the important ways, so we have to keep evolving it or die out like any other perspective" color? [[[heh...don't answer, not what this thread is for. It just amuses me, the conflicting definitions/usages]]]
On this:
Gilles Deluuze and Felix Guattari: intersecting lives.
You went through quite a phase there...much more other people on them than them themselves, it looks---
Do you get them? How much? Have you tried 1k Plateaus? [[a re-read of that is on my list for the upcoming summer]] Get anything from that? What?

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

After Finitude: An Essay on the Necessity of Contingency by Quentin Meillassoux
----------------------------------------------
Getting back to your question, yes, I've read it. As to what I got out of it, well that's difficult to say with regard to any philosophical school, yet alone one to which I don't wholly subscribe. But some practical observations might be noted inasmuch as I think it safe to say that one could very well see D&G's influence in much of what might be called today's "Alt-Left" movements (e.g. the influence of the Nomadic War Machine and of rhizomatic, transversal networking).
After Finitude: An Essay on the Necessity of Contingency by Quentin Meillassoux
----------------------------------------------
Let me preface by saying that, due to my Catholic and philosophically Realist commitments, I don't embrace Deleuze's (and/or Guattari's) philosophy in its entirety (although the grave deficiencies I find there wouldn't necessarily preclude me from finding certain admirable elements which could conceivably be appropriated and developed). I'm open to reading a rather wide swath of schools and try to avoid a univocally "scorched earth" attitude toward any of them.Vraith wrote:On this:

Heh...those are the main reasons for my planned re-read.Wosbald wrote: Nomadic War Machine and of rhizomatic,
I had/have no commitment to War Machine stuff---I thought it had some potential interest, but felt I was missing a layer, and an important one. [whether that layer was cake or dung, I don't/didn't know.]
The rhizomatic was different---I created the beginnings of an entire perspective influenced/launched from a fuel mix fairly rich in ingredients from Heidegger Being/Time and that stuff. I've learned more since then, though---and forgotten much, too---we'll see if I understand/think more/differently now, and if my paper/ideas hold together.
