Re: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
Thanks! I'm about to start reading the book. Do you want to set a schedule or just 'read'? I was thinking that we could start with the first part ('desiring-production'). It's only about 9 pages long - in the continuum edition - but it might be just enough to be going on with. What do you think? I t...

Re: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
Ah, I'm more familiar with Deleuze himself and not Guattari. Anyhow, next monday I'll get reading and we can get this party started.

Re: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
Grand! If you're not familiar with Deleuze you could also try Claire Colebrook's introduction and Keith Ansell-Pearson's book 'Viroid Life'.

Re: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
Ok. It'll start next week as I have a research outline to finish for the weekend. Meanwhile, try reading 'A User's Guide to Capitalism & Schizophrenia' by Brian Massumi (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Users-Guide-Capitalism-Schizophrenia-Deviations/dp/0262631431/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280153073&sr...

Re: Philosophy videos
referring to Psychonaut's comments about psychiatry: Foucault's 'History of Madness' and 'Birth of the Clinic' should be enough for anyone to become suspicious of the discipline. No Scientology material is required!

Re: Who won the Vietnam war?
It's interesting that we speak about war using the language of competitive sport. I think that we need to find other ways to talk about it (or, if those ways exist - and they probably do - we need to use them instead). Either this or we include 'war' as simply a type of sport. When a war is 'won' it...

Re: Discipline and Punish - Michel Foucault
Interesting ideas, but I think that we can go into more detail. For example, I think that your post has overlooked two important aspects of DP. The most important of these is the complicated manner in which 'power' and 'knowledge' are bound together (in fact, Foucault spent many interviews and essay...

Re: Discipline and Punish - Michel Foucault
You wanted to know about my specific interests regarding Foucault. I'm currently reading through 'Fearless Speech' on the topic of Parrhesia (I've just started a doctorate degree and it's my jumping off point); I also wrote my undergraduate dissertation on the subject as presented in Order of Things...

Re: A Challenge to Richard Dawkins and the Atheists
Hi nameless - it's probably better, when you're attacking someone's alleged use of ad hominem moves, not to use them yourself. Just saying.

Re: A Challenge to Richard Dawkins and the Atheists
I have for a time been sympathic to the Atheist claim of believing in something close to science This implies that you do not think that atheists 'believe' in science (or, more likely, that what they 'believe' to be science is something else). What do you understand by 'science' in this context? It...

Re: I'm new, and I come bearing a question.
Is symbolic logic anything more than a shorthand for philosophical argumentation? My undergraduate philosophy degree concentrated on showing us different kinds of criticism and argument, ranging from the analytic (logic, language) to the empirical (scientific) to 20th century methods such as psychoa...
