Helsingin kirjamessuilla on filosofista tematiikkaa tarjolla yltäkyllin aina urheilun etiikasta kulttuurilehtien historiaan. Pari täsmäpoimintaa: Perjantaina kello 14 Aleksis Kivi-lavalla julkaistaan EFS ry:n kustantama Mika Hannulan kirja Suomalaisuudesta – erään sukupolven tarina. Kirjassa kysytään mistä puhumme kun puhumme Suomesta ja suomalaisuudesta? Kirja hahmottaa Suomea ja suomalaisuutta monikollisina käsitteinä, kriittisen refleksiivisinä välineinä pohtia keitä me olemme, missä […]

Heidegger kääntelee tekniikkaa tässä Vesa Jaaksin kääntämässä parin esseen kokoelmassa. Klassikko, jos mikä, nyt yksissä kansissa suomeksi.
Kokeillaanpa tätäkin. Podcastinä tässä ensiyrityksessä eilen Kustavissa Volter Kilpi -kirjallisuusviikolla pitämäni esitelmä otsikolla “Nurmijärvi ja Kustavi”. Käsittelee siis Kiven Nurmijärveä ja Kilven Kustavia paikkakuntina, ennen ja nyt, esimerkkeinä suomalaisen identiteetin rakennuksista.
Elfride Jelinek got the Nobel in literature in 2004. Now she is publishing her new stuff directly & freely (as in speech) on the net: Jelinek, 60, has been posting chapters of the new book, “Neid” (German for “Envy”), as she writes them. The first two chapters of the work she describes as a “mixture […]
After seeing Will Smith as Ali in the eponymous movie, I got interested and read Hauser’s biography (Hauser, Thomas (2004 Reprint). Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times. Robson Books. ISBN 1-86105-738-5.) What an exhilarating book and person. The books is not so much written as compiled: Hauser has interviewed tens of people, and the book […]

The Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology has published my review of Gordon G. Globus’s book Quantum Closures and Disclosures: Thinking-Together Postphenomenology and Quantum Brain Dynamics. This is an interesting book, trying to bring together post-phenomenology and the interpretation of quantum theory, in this case in the form of quantum brain dynamics. The book is very informative, […]
The volumes of Heidegger’s Gesamtausgabe look good. The paper is of high quality, typesetting consistent & careful, a well-known publisher – Klostermann – on the job. I never really even thought about the quality of the editions, assuming that everything is tip-top. So it was something of a surprise to notice that Theodore Kisiel has […]
Just noticed that this book initiated by the Danish artist group Superflex has come out. Here’s a description by the publisher: The book Self-organisation / counter-economic strategies was initiated by the artists’ group Superflex, but it is not about them. It is about the many approaches to the creation, dissemination and maintenance of alternative models […]
