Benjamin Noys – The Future of a Negation: Negativity, Determination and the Negation of the Negation

The EGS will continue its series of Open Lectures with the following lecture:

Benjamin Noys – The Future of a Negation: Negativity, Determination and the Negation of the Negation

The logical response to our current world would appear to be one of radical negation. Confronting a world of total degradation results in any way out appearing as a utopian mirage. This radical negation, however, is limited to a Romantic gesture that further deepens our alienation from the world. Instead, I want to explore a more classical dialectic in which we move from radical negativity, through determinate negativity, and on to the negation of the negation.

Tuesday, May 5 at 8 p.m. Paris time.
