Thanks Ben! I need to have them update the keywords-as it stands some are misleading…

Thanks for your great questions! First I think purification from the body requires transcending the body from within the body itself- “dialetheic naturalism.” To the second question: this view can accept evolution. It’s a contingent process that enables nature to think itself. More in the book!

I have a new book coming out with Edinburgh University Press early next year. The book is (tentatively) entitled "Absolute Dialetheism: Hegel, Schelling, and the End of Alterity."

My keynote lecture at the Winterschool in Chile gives a short preview:

Many thanks to Pablo Pulgar Moya and Fernanda Medina for organizing an amazing the Winter School on Hegel’s metaphysics of the concept in Santiago Chile. The discussions and papers were excellent. Always a pleasure to visit UDP!

Thanks to the Hegel group in Buenos Aires for hosting a wonderful event on self-consciousness in Hegel and Nishida. The people are great and the city is absolutely gorgeous.

I don't usually write about current events (my writing is usually very theoretical), but I have a strong sense that I should make a real effort to write on more contemporary and pressing political matters. 3/3

Because I live abroad, of course I can't join protests like the "No Kings" protests planned for June 14th. What are other people doing?

For my American friends living abroad, what are the most effective ways of protesting the disastrous policies of the Trump administration? Besides voting, I write to my senators (Georgia), and give to relevant charitable organisations (ACLU, etc.) 1/3

This happened to me the first time i had a zoom event during the pandemic. Since then I’ve been super paranoid about it, but hasn’t happened since!

Gregory S. Moss @philosophermoss.bsky.social · May 23

Thanks. I do think it has various applications. One is to see how the freedom and contradiction of the Absolute is realized in organisms as metabolizing beings (as both ends and means in the same respect). As self-individuating one can see biological life as a paradigmatic instance of this position

Thanks to all the friends who joined the discussion on the "singularity of existence" yesterday!

In case you missed it, you'll find a preview of some ideas from my forthcoming book here.

Looking forward to the Winter School on Hegel’s Metaphysics of the Concept! I’ll bring the ontological argument with me, along with Absolute Spirit. Thanks to Pablo for the invitation. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.
