philosophy
Currently exploring entanglements with non-human agencies (particularly pigeons!) together with performance artists Jonas Gillman and Seraina Dür, as well as with the designer and ecologist Flurina Gradin.
We are planning a guided tour of the central train station in Zurich during the Otherwise festival at Gessnerallee in Zurich, as well as during my upcoming workshop “The City and the Wild” (more infos coming up!)
Sanna Lehtinen and mine special issue on Philosophy of the City at the East Asian Journal of Philosophy is now out: http://eajp.online/publication-256994@reader.
In this interview I talk with the philosophers of technology Sage Cammers-Goodwin and Michael Nagenborg. We discuss the attractions and trappings of smart cities.
I’m delighted to give an online talk at the Royal Institute of Philosophy (Oxford branch) next Wednesday at 19h CET. The title is “The City in Philosophy and Philosophy in the City”.
If you are interested in attending, contact Daniel O’Brien, dobrien@brookes.ac.uk for the zoom link.
What is the broader social and cultural relevance of academic aesthetics? Can it help us make out why a show seems a little flat? Or analyse for instance racial fetishes? What is the aesthetic attitude and how may one take it up? All this and more in an interview with the philosopher Alex King!
It was a pleasure to work together with Alex King at Aesthetics for Birds and to produce this guest post.
We are celebrating the centenary of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus logico-philosophicus (published 1921) and the bicentenary of Fyodor M. Dostoevsky’s birth (born 1821).
This video is my tribute to both. I aim to show that there is more that connects these thinkers than accidental numbers. The video is based on Chapter 1 of my book.
I am very excited to have been granted a Junior Fellowship at the interdisciplinary institute, Collegium Helveticum starting September! My new colleagues are a primatologist, a terrorism scholar, an architect, movie makers, a historian of India, a perfume synthesiser, and a composer. The new place of work: the old Semper observatory in Zurich.
Sicht:Bar [Visible], the neighbourhood development project that I have been managing since the beginning of the year now has its own website! We are excited to launch the association this summer.y
