Episode 12.5: (Non-)Philosophy and the Critique of the Secular

Today’s episode (86 mins) consists of three papers given by Alex
Dubilet, Daniel Colucciello Barber, and myself. There were given
at the University of California-Berkeley back in May and formed
the first workshop for our project investigated the prospect or
not of thinking a “generic secular” in the midst of various
critiques of secular and Christian universalism, the return of
religion, and critical theory of race and gender. The dialogue
form of the project is going to be repeated in the book we
produce and I think it promises something interesting in the
interstitial space we inhabit in theory. A genuine debate that
shapes the final ideas. If you are able to support us please
head over to the GoFundMe page that’s been set up. For our
immediate cost needs it would be helpful to raise another $300 in
the next week or so. 


The song in today’s episode is “When the Storm Came” from Talk
Less Say More’s fantastic album Violent. Download a copy
