14 JUN 2023 · Tyler is joined by Dr. Jim Madden, Philosopher of Mind and martial artist, to discuss his series of articles on the seminal work of philosopher Wilfred Sellars. Through a reading of Sellars' "Philosophy and the Scientific Image of Man", we discuss the true underlying worldview conflict in philosophy of mind and philosophy itself, overcoming mind-body dualism, the irreducibility of the manifest image, and Sellars' hope for the scientific image to take precedence without destroying the manifest image.

27 FEB 2023 · The EBL Crew is joined by guest Gio of Content Minded to discuss the Canadian Philosopher and theorist of technology/media Marshall McLuhan's "Understanding Media".

31 JAN 2023 · For part 2 of our (Tyler, Joel, Josh) discussion of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, we move from Hegel's general argument to the specifics of how he applies them to the Law, Punishment, Marriage, Family, The State, and so on. We then offer some critiques, including on Hegel's theological views, before wrapping up with why you should both be critical and appreciative of Hegel's contributions.

31 JAN 2023 · Tyler, Josh and Joel encounter the Plato of Germany - Hegel - and break down Hegel's project and its enduring influence across disciplines of knowledge/spheres of politics. Situating the Philosophy of Right within Hegel's larger corpus, the boys discuss Hegel's metaphysics of Social Identity, Hegel's understanding of the limits of the moral point of view, Hegel's Communitarianism, and why one must grapple with Hegel if one wants to grapple with political thinking today.

31 JAN 2023 · In the conclusion of our discussion of Merleau-Ponty's "Phenomenology of Perception", we discuss the last section of the text and our final thoughts. We discuss Merleau-Ponty's corrective of the Cartesian Cogito, his Husserlian and Heideggeran-infused discussion of temporality, his critique of Absolute Freedom, the meta-political implications of his account of class consciousness, and finally, we compare Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. Discussing their key points of difference and convergence, I argue in favor of Merleau-Ponty over Heidegger. We end with our general conclusion on the text and phenomenology itself.

31 JAN 2023 · In Part 3 of our exploration of Merleau-Ponty's "Phenomenology of Perception", we turn to the questions Merleau-Ponty raises and answers about the perceived world, discovering the radicality of Merleau-Ponty's arguments. The topics included are the perception of space, modalities of spatiality, sensation and qualia as motor physiognomy, the perception of movement and depth, MP's view on truth, the religious domains of the discovery of primordial pre-reflective consciousness, and political implications/lessons from MP's worldview.

31 JAN 2023 · In part 2 on the Phenomenology of Perception, Josh, Rory and Tyler discuss Merleau-Ponty's section on The Body. We break down the Object-Horizon Structure, the phenomenological understanding of disorders such as Phantom Limb Syndrome, the Body as Primordial Habit and much more.
