The Portal: Thought for January 2025

Christian Civilisation, Christian Atheist Gospel, Lacan-Deleuze Diamond Punch, Perversion, The Integral Stage, and Marxism and Politics

Philosophy Portal livestream for January 2025:

This livestream is designed to give you a sense into general projects/activities currently related to Philosophy Portal’s work. The livestream will start with the introduction of a new project called “Culture Lab” which is inspired by the Christian Atheism course, and which will attempt to reflect on key tension points in the culture. The first Culture Lab reflects on a recent presentation by Paul Kingsnorth titled “Against Christian Civilisation” as well as an interview which was hosted by Jonathan Pageau titled “Western Civilisation Is Already Dead”. The Culture Lab will feature Mark Gerard Murphy, Ivar Asid,

Dimitri

Crooijmans, James Wisdom (

Throughout the rest of the livestream, I will be hosting radical theologian Barry Taylor for a discussion on Thomas Altizer’s Christian Atheist Gospel in anticipation for Wake festival in April; philosopher

Terence Blake

for a discussion on our opening class for Deleuze and Analysis; psychoanalyst Sinziana Ravini for a discussion on the latest release of Paletten’s art magazine on Perversion; as well as a chat with members of The Portal focused on reflecting our last month with The Integral Stage. The Portal chat will include Ivar Asid, James Wisdom, Davide Pasti, and

LaVonne Chantal

.

The livestream will end with a re-broadcast of a conversation I hosted this past month with Marxist political theorist

Chris Cutrone

on “What Is Society For Marxism?” which will be anticipating our next month in The Portal focused on Cutrone’s book “Marxism and Politics”.
