I was overjoyed to discover Badiou because he formalized through pure mathematics something that I had known and tried to express in other ways for so long: that philosophy, science, existence itself is axiomatic - or decisional - not descriptive....philosophyscott2005-06-21T12:16:38-05:00The Ends of Man

"The working bourgeois, to become a - "satisfied" - Citizen of the "absolute" State, must become a Warrior - that is , he must introduce death into his existence, by consciously and voluntarily risking his life, while knowing that he...philosophyscott2005-05-20T21:15:07-05:00Eternal Return of the Void

"In short, divergence and disjunction as such become the object of affirmation. The true subject of the eternal return is the intensity and singularity; the relation between the eternal return as actualized intentionality and the will to power as open...philosophyscott2005-04-01T19:59:15-05:00A Moebius Trip

"The symbolically real isn't the really symbolic. The really symbolic is the symbolic included in the real, which very well has a name - it's called lying. The symbolically real, being that part of the real that's implied in the...psychoanalysisscott2005-02-16T16:22:51-05:00The New

Philip Dick wrote an 8000 page "Exegesis" in the last decade of his life attempting to understand a series of synchronistic events that had transformed his life. His primary output was to recapitulate the Gnostic vision practiced at the core...philosophyscott2005-01-26T14:36:28-05:00Analysis

Philosophy must allow us to think beyond the person as a local construction of worlds. This however does not mean to think dualistically. In the spirit of Deleuze and Badiou we can seek to explain the transcendental as what is...philosophyscott2005-01-19T13:50:25-05:00Writing the Real

If anything it was Freud who opened a door to understanding the social symbolic construction of subjectivity in regard to patients while Jung expanded this to include deep cultural mythical archetypes remaining in the collective psyche. This psyche is between...psychoanalysisscott2004-12-01T14:02:42-05:00Autopoesis

Perhaps affect could be seen as higher level impulse or lower order consciousness. This is borne out in recent neuroscience demonstrating that affective emotions are assemblages of linking the state of the body and its organs with primitive external perception....philosophyscott2004-11-13T16:38:09-05:00Clinic of the Real

We have discussed our similar views on the bio-psychic interactional view many times, and I wanted to recommend a recent book by Paul Verhaeghe - "On Being Normal and Other Disorders," partly because it is one of the clearest statements...psychoanalysisscott2004-10-30T14:11:36-05:00Spirit of Energy

This map stretches from yoga psychology to anthroposophy and integral psychology, but there is a particularly detailed philosophical explication and scientific proof of it in Arthur Young's "The Reflexive Universe" and William Tiller's "Conscious Acts of Creation."

It was partially my own experience with a family member who transfered childhood trauma and depression with no outlet into a myelin sheath degeneration which led me to the study and practice of psychoanalytic and psychosomatic medicine.

Like a lot of similar "conspiracy" material it is sometimes hard to see any clarity in sides. Rather a game among the privileged while the population remains pawns in the game. It is interesting that while people like Leary, Lilly,...philosophyscott2004-09-11T17:40:19-05:00What is Medicine
