I don’t have anything notable to say about our farcical nationalist holiday of July 4th, but nevertheless to mark it— please enjoy Moral Minority’s unlocked discussion with @aliner on Derrida and the possibility of radically different universalist democracies-to-come.
I know, I know. It’s been too long since our last episode of Moral Minority. But I promise we’ve got some great interviews coming out this month and we will resume our main episodes examining the crisis in moral foundations shortly thereafter. Stay tuned!

We’re a bit behind in putting out the next episode of Moral Minority. The second half of B&N is dedicated to demonstrating how we have responsibility to other existents. Existential phenomenology feels indulgent, and yet the call of the Other is always a salient ethical concern.

On Moral Minority, we have a subscriber-exclusive series called “Nota Bene” because we believe that the juiciest, most enticing work is done in the footnotes. Retweet with your favorite footnote that you think rivals or exceeds the main text.

Coming this week, Moral Minority sits down with the inimitable @ryanruby.bsky.social to discuss Jameson’s The Political Unconscious, the future of Marxist hermeneutics, and how his new book, Context Collapse, fits into the tradition of historicizing literary criticism.

“My reasons for reactivating this largely forgotten and putatively archaic genre…are threefold: to draw attention to poetry’s participation in the contemporary information economy, to defamiliarize literary criticism by writing it in a nonstandard form, and for personal amusement.”

Why does morality matter? What grounds the moral principles to which we appeal when making judgments about right and wrong, justice and injustice? Do we have good grounds for making the judgments we do make? And if not, where does that leave us?
