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.

This evening I’d like to express gratitude for our new subscribers to Moral Minority Patreon. No doubt this is due to the release of our episode with the poet Alina Stefanescu on Derrida. We’re excited for you to hear our next few episodes on The Second Sex and our summer of literary interviews.

If you don’t want to toss us $5 (although we’d really appreciate it), we ask that you instead buy My Heresies, Alina’s wonderful new poetry collection. Link is in the show notes.

Moral Minority’s discussion of Derrida’s The Politics of Friendshio with @alinaetc.bsky.social is now live for our generous paying subscribers on Patreon. Join us as we discover together whether virtuous friendship and democratic internationalism is still possible in a world gone mad.

Without further ado, Moral Minority presents Part 2 of our discussion of Being & Nothingness. You can now listen to it on our Patreon, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. As always, please consider supporting us and the philosophy podcast community by chipping in $5 on Patreon

Our apologies for the delay, Moral Minority’s long gestating episode on the second half of Being & Nothingness will be released in a week. In the meantime, please enjoy my unlocked conversation with @pourfairelevide on the metaphysics and moral vision of the late David Lynch.

You can now hear Jon Repetti and I(Charles) reflect on the ethical perspective and ontological depth of the films of David Lynch on the
Moral Minority Patreon. We had a long and fruitful discusson. Enjoy!

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.

As a very special holiday gift, Moral Minority podcast proudly presents our conversation with @mattpolprof.bsky.social on his new book, The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism. Available now via our Patreon or on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

On Félix Guattari’s youthful encounter with Jean-Paul Sartre’s Being and Nothingness: “I prefer having been wrong staying with Sartre than to have been right and agreeing with Raymond Aron.”

A Toast: I am thankful for the kindness, wisdom, and joyful willingness to elevate good work in philosophy and letters of @ryanruby.bsky.social As a Thanksgiving treat, Moral Minority is proud to present our conversation with him on Fredric Jameson and his new book, Context Collapse.

Moral Minority’s Contemporary Conversation with @ryanruby.bsky.social is now live on Patreon for our paying subscribers. We have an enlivening conversation about the legacy of Fredric Jameson, Marxist hermeneutics, and the vital humanism of poetry. Join now for only $5 per month.

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.”
-Ryan Ruby

Moral Minority’s first of two episodes exploring Sartre’s doorstopper, Being and Nothingness, is now live! In this episode, we grapple with understanding the transphenomenal character of consciousness, swoon in ethical anguish, and wonder how to escape the trap of bad faith.
