PHILOSOPHY OF LACK 4: Address (w/ Daniel Garner of O.G. Rose, Tim Adalin, Alex Ebert)

The philosophy of lack has sought to introduce the starting condition for thinking in the experience of something missing (a lack), the idea that something is always conditioned by nothing, and that nonetheless, this nothing is excessive, the place of wild drives and images. We now seek to bring a certain closure to our reflections, by placing an importance on thinking that can both address from a place of lack (as opposed to addressing from the mode of explanatory presuppositions), and the hope of being addressed as a lack (as opposed to through ideological backgrounds). What is at stake in this conversation is not only thinking lack, but thinking how lack itself opens the space for the self and the other. Here we are not looking for closure in a theory of everything, but a closure in knowing that our theories are for the other, and that the other is an irreducible part of everything.
