Modeling Deconstruction and New Historicism--Benjamin Hagen


source: Benjamin Hagen    2014年9月28日
ENG 201 (Fall 2014): Lecture 3.3—Modeling Deconstruction and New Historicism
In this video, I wrap up this lecture series by modeling an "ideal" deconstructive reading of Mary Robinson's "A London Summer Morning" and by anticipating a new historicist account of the poem. I end the video by summarizing the different accounts that each mode of criticism made possible.
In this video, I allude to a lecture I posted last year on the "Tendencies of Deconstructive Criticism." Here's a link to that video: http://youtu.be/9GZ2ZNnm2DU?list=PLFl....
I also mention several histories at the end of this video. Here are links to those books:

Rick Roderick on Philosophy and Postmodern Culture [full length]


source: The Partially Examined Life    2012年8月25日
This video is 8th in the 8-part lecture series Philosophy and Human Values (1990).
Thanks to rickroderick.org for making this available. I'm merely interested in redistributing to anyone who might enjoy and benefit.

I. A recap of the lecture series:
A. Retrace the history of the accounts of human values given in Western Philosophy, and you'll probably find a dead end with some rather ordinary philosophic problems.
B. Hegel reminds us that human values and moral and ethical problems arise in historical circumstances.
C. Society and history has to do with economics and the state.
D. Culture is less systematic. A culture based on spectacle and images has a peculiar nonsystematic character.

II. Freud outlines the process of economic building with cultural unawareness.
A. The conscious mind is a very small part of our psychic life. A. Freud's goal was for the unconscious (id) to become the conscious (ego).
B. Mass culture turns the conscious to unconscious.
C. We can tune out the culture, however, we cannot destroy it.

III. Civilisation can be seen as a drama between eros (love) and thanatos (death). A. The mechanism of one side has clearly gained the upper hand (thanatos). 1. However, eternal eros might come in and strike a blow for the other side. 2. This is about to be a global situation that will be difficult to solve because there are no concrete walls. B. We must reinject resistance into or at least put up a simulation of resistance to it. 1. The worst thing we can do is to be unanimously for something. 2. We have not yet written the last obituary for radical democracy. C. St. Paul's answer is in Corinthians. It is a masterpiece of sophistry, rhetoric and bitter invective. D. Philosophy is disconsolate in principle. 1. Hegel said dialectics or philosophy does not run from detestation but tarries with it awhile and looks it in its face. 2. The structural principles of our society are as barbaric in their structure as they ever were, perhaps more so.

Postmodernism by Stephen Hicks at Rockford University (1-2)


source: Atlas Society    2015年3月1日
Are truth, knowledge, and objective reality dead?
Postmodernism became the leading intellectual movement in the late twentieth century. It has replaced modernism, the philosophy of the Enlightenment. For modernism’s principles of objective reality, reason, and individualism, it has substituted its own precepts of relative feeling, social construction, and groupism. This substitution has now spread to major cultural institutions such as education, journalism, and the law, where it manifests itself as race and gender politics, advocacy journalism, political correctness, multiculturalism, and the rejection of science and technology.
At the 1998 Summer Seminar of the Institute for Objectivist Studies (now called The Atlas Society), Dr. Hicks offered a systematic analysis and dissection of the Postmodernist movement and outlined the core Objectivist tenets needed to rejuvenate the Enlightenment spirit.

ABOUT STEPHEN HICKS:
Stephen Hicks is a Canadian-American philosopher who teaches at Rockford University, where he also directs the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship. Hicks earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Guelph, Canada, and his Ph.D. from Indiana University, Bloomington. His doctoral thesis was a defense of foundationalism.
Hicks is the author of two books and a documentary. "Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault." He argues that postmodernism is best understood as a rhetorical strategy of intellectuals and academics on the far-Left of the political spectrum to the failure of socialism and communism.
His documentary and book "Nietzsche and the Nazis" is an examination of the ideological and philosophical roots of National Socialism, particularly how Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas were used, and in some cases misused, by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis to justify their beliefs and practices. This was released in 2006 as a video documentary and then in 2010 as a book.
Additionally, Hicks has published articles and essays on a range of subjects, including free speech in academia, the history and development of modern art, Ayn Rand's Objectivism, business ethics, and the philosophy of education, including a series of YouTube lectures.
Hicks is also the co-editor, with David Kelley, of a critical thinking textbook, "The Art of Reasoning: Readings for Logical Analysis."
