This is the second in a series of livestreams dedicated to members of Philosophy Portal's live events to reflect on the theme of the month. This month we reflect on Communism.
In this conversation series, we seek to enquire deeper about the experience and the philosophy of Lack, and ultimately, what such a philosophy might say about our contemporary culture.
In our second discourse on the Philosophy of Lack, I propose to shift our context to Democritus, and his atomist ontology, which we may say is the spontaneous unofficial metaphysics of scientific materialism (i.e. the universe at base is divided between indivisible somethings and nothing (“the void”).
Alex Ebert and I discuss the relations between perfection, lack, and becoming as part of the Philosophy of Lack series.
Daniel L. Garner, Tim Adalin, Alex Ebert and I continue the Philosophy of Lack series with a focus on excess.
A conversation at year-end about what is happening in online intellectual spaces: what is sensed?, what is missing?, what is hoped for?

Rose, Tim Adalin, Alexander Ebert (Philosophy of Lack).
Daniel L. Garner, Tim Adalin, Alex Ebert and I conclude our Philosophy of Lack series with a focus on address.
Javier Rivera, Chetan Anand, Alex Ebert and I discuss the concepts of teachers, idols and masters in contemporary social context.
This is the Libido Livestream, the first in a series of livestreams dedicated to members of The Portal’s live events to reflect on the theme of the month.
