I'm particularly interested in the sublime's relationship to visual culture in this regard--and perhaps susceptibility to commercial exploitation. Am following up on a hunch. Would be grateful for your insights. Have found your work very illuminating.Brassmoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464044990244750645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-84744877469335168062011-03-27T10:02:17.214-06:002011-03-27T10:02:17.214-06:00Timothy,

Due to a family health emergency during the Christmas season the paper was delayed. However, it is now completed and if you are interested I would be glad to send you a copy. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Greg Conrowgachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510535530891638357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-14650307052578118792010-12-07T12:14:47.330-06:002010-12-07T12:14:47.330-06:00Timothy,

I am currently working on it so it will be a couple of weeks.<br /><br />By the way I found you blog accidently while doing research on the possibility of adopting the Kantian sublime, transcendence and Hannah Arendt's views on Kantian morality (communicability) towards an environmental ethic. Your posts on the sublime were great and I will be ordering your books on the same.gachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510535530891638357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-46920669430802012672010-12-06T19:22:54.058-06:002010-12-06T19:22:54.058-06:00Thanks Gregory.

I wonder what you would think about Levinas' conception of the Other as a rupture that transcends and is not reducible to the "same"... self, consciousness, reason etc. I am not aware that Levinas extended his phenomenological analysis to environmentalism, but the idea of the environment as being a rupture in our effort to "totalize" reason, thought etc is an interesting project. <br /><br />By the way, I am currently working on a research project that contrasts Nishida's phenomenological analysis of emptiness and no-self to Levinas' idea of infinity and transcendence.gachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510535530891638357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-55569361301811971652010-11-17T00:03:56.246-06:002010-11-17T00:03:56.246-06:00Hi Josh, it's not off topic!

I would argue that even if it's "confined" to one person, consciousness could still be a hyperobject.Timothy Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067377804366363020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-70490530380356748012010-11-16T16:40:48.840-06:002010-11-16T16:40:48.840-06:00Thought-provoking as always, Timothy.

I tend to think the former; which demystifies the Buddhist doctrine of reincarnation, rendering it a process that occurs constantly, in all spatio-temporal directions, rather than as traditionally thought (as I understand it) a linear, chronological one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
