Hotel Bar SessionsAgainst the Future (with Simon Critchley)Philosophers have had many conceptions of the future–metaphysical, eschatological, ontotheological, dialectical, fatalistic, idealist, materialist, and more–and these in turn have been central to discussions of free will and determinism, freedom and constraint, hope and despair. But our guest Simon Critchley, Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy at the New School, is against all of them! For him, what emerges from Heidegger’s thinking of ecstatic temporality is a radical focus on our historicity, our having-been-ness to inform and improve the present, and this "gritty pessimistic realism” leads him to choose Thucydides over Plato: nothing is e...

Rethinking FaithTo Philosophize is to Learn How to Die - With Simon CritchleyThis week I had the honor of talking to one of my favorite Philosophers, Simon Critchley! We take a deep dive into profound themes surrounding death, suicide, tragedy, and the role of philosophy in understanding these concepts. We explore how philosophy begins with the contemplation of death and how the fear of death can enslave individuals. The discussion also highlights the intertwined nature of comedy and tragedy, the importance of theater in addressing existential themes, and the cultural narratives that shape our understanding of suicide. Additionally, we take a look at the impact of technology on mental health, the...

Rak höger med Ivar ArpiBeyond Good and Evil: Simon Critchley on Why We Need TragedyToday I’m speaking with Simon Critchley, philosopher and author of Tragedy, the Greeks, and Us (2019) – a book that argues tragedy offers a truer philosophy than Philosophy itself, a way of thinking that begins where certainty ends. We talk about what happens when justice stands on both sides, when virtue and flaw are inseparable, and when insight comes too late for action. For Critchley, tragedy embodies a philosophy opposed to Plato’s: instead of banishing contradiction to protect reason, it lets conflict and emotion become forms of knowledge. I think this is a foundational insight: life is full of trade...

We get into attention as a form of mysticism and close reading as a form of attention, how we can try to overcome...

New Books in Ancient HistorySimon Critchley, "Tragedy, the Greeks, and Us" (Vintage, 2020)Simon Critchley's Tragedy, the Greeks, and Us (Vintage, 2020) does not offer a comprehensive theory of tragedy. Instead, it takes issue with the bland simplifications that philosophers have offered in place of a robust engagement with tragedies, plural. Critchley examines Nietzche's wishful speculation on the origin of tragedy, Aristotle's dry and under-examined notion of catharsis, and Plato's excessive hatred of tragedy, finding that each attempt to find an essence of tragedy ignores the fact that tragedy as a form is uninterested in tidy endings or comforting morals.

Time SensitiveSimon Critchley on Finding Clarity in Philosophy and ComedySimon Critchley has seen his share of accidents. In his younger years, he damaged his hands while working in manufacturing plants, and ruined his hearing by rehearsing with a punk band in spaces with subpar acoustics. At 18, he suffered significant memory loss, and most recollections from his childhood in rural England temporarily disappeared. The experience of forgetting, Critchley realized, was something he could make useful: It gave him a clean slate, and the freedom to fill in the blanks however he wanted. So when he entered the University of Essex 1982, Critchley threw himself into his studies, and e...

We dive into how Critchley learned to appreciate the drama of the tragedies, how it led to his critique of Plato and Aristotle and much of what comes after them, and how we continue to wrestle with the central question of the tragedies: "What shall I do?" Along the way, we talk about the perils of moral monotheism, Wallace Stevens' philosophy-as-poetry, what...
