New writing—letters and philosophical fragments on ecology and planetary thought—coming soon.

Here’s a snippet.

I've been deeply appreciating The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It is just as much a book on writing as it is on *why* one should write, and how good writing--and by extension storytelling--haunts us, carries us over into the sublime, and changes our world.

Stumbled across this book and hope to eventually check it out. It explores temporality under the conditions of capitalism--something I write about towards the end of my new book on Gebser and integral time.

"To surrender the opposite is to gain together-ness: genuine inter-human participation… Subject and object lose their previous dualistic and antagonistic character of opposition, and the antagonism engendered by preserving a misunderstood ego-valuation" [1/2]

Exciting new addition to the home library. I make a point to pick up anything Zapatista-related. This one had some very insightful writing on non-Western forms of time.

Pairing these up for my ongoing of German Romanticism.

Wulf's previous book, Magnificent Rebels, was a brilliant read.

Humboldt's conception of nature, inspired by Schelling and others, becomes not only vindicated, but newly relevant with the growing recognition of Gaia Theory.

An average sleep-deprived Monday morning: tea, baby songs, Hegel, spontaneous dance parties. Somehow it all manages to be in flow.

I spent election day reading German Idealists and listening to political Twitch streamers (@hasanabirepeater.bsky.social) cover the election.

Not pictured here: Ollin napping on my chest.

As far as days go (and compared to election night), this one was pretty good.

Welcome aboard, readers and friends! Glad to see so many of you have found your way here.

It's quieter in this neck of the woods, but hey, maybe that will change.

I'll use this moment to announce that Mutations journal has launched! A long time in the making: revelore.press/product/muta...

Many moons ago I mentioned that I would be transitioning to rural family life and, well, here we are (Brattleboro VT).

New letter dropped on Substack today! Exploring literary "mind jazz," the Lindisfarne Association and how William Irwin Thompson was such a formative thinker for my own work. https://open.substack.com/pub/jeremydjohnson/p/from-a-secular-age-to-mind-jazz?r=3zl3v&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
