Some notes on disgust
How can we talk about disgust in a way that matches the force of it as an experience?
Ideas
Epistemological concussion and masochism
Can knowledge and experience ever reflect each other?
Why did we hurt sadism?
What must phenomenology do to be able to see past difficult cultural frameworks to the experience of things themselves?
Is philosophy a result or a process? A done thing or a doing?
Messy, difficult and inconsistent. That is good philosophy.
Is pain a pleasure through ‘some strange alchemy’?
To write a defence of masochism is a brave and difficult task. Weak claims about pain and pleasure undermine the effort.
Opening into the dog; how phenomenology gives us fresh eyes
Phenomenology can seem like a lot of long words and concepts but it’s really a process for seeing the world as it is.
How does phenomenology generate knowledge?
Too often, phenomenology is made into a step-by-step process that claims a knowledge outcome. Knowledge, however, in a phenomenological study, is an altogether different beast.
What can you do with a Stupid Detector?
A lot of what is ‘peer-reviewed’ and published as phenomenology is, my stupid detector reports, stupid. But why?
