1othic hypothesis”; royal science only accorded it the value of a convenient convention or a well-founded fiction. The great State mathematicians did their best to improve its status, but precisely on the condition that all the dynamic, nomadic notions — such as becoming, heterogeneity, infinitesimal, passage to the limit, continuous variation — be eliminated and civil, static, and ordinal rules be imposed upon it (Carnot’s ambiguous position in this respect). Finally, it is true of the hydraulic model, for it is certain that the State itself needs a hydraulic science (there is no going back on Wittfogel’s theses on the importance of large-scale waterworks for an empire). But it needs it in a very different form, because the State needs to subordinate hydraulic force to conduits, pipes, embankments, which prevent turbulence, which constrain movement to go from one point to another, and space itself to be striated and measured, which makes the fluid depend on the

2involves working with knowledge. "Contemporary society may be described as a knowledge society based on the extensive penetration of all its spheres of life and institutions by scientific and technological knowledge" (Stehr 2002b: 18). For Stehr, knowledge is a capacity for social action. Science would become an immediate productive force, knowledge would no longer be primarily embodied in machines, but already appropriated nature that represents knowledge would be rearranged according to certain designs and programs (Ibid.: 41-46). For Stehr, the economy of a knowledge society is largely driven not by material inputs, but by symbolic or knowledge-based inputs (Ibid.: 67), there would be a large number of professions that involve working with knowledge, and a declining number of jobs that demand low cognitive skills as well as in manufacturing (Stehr 2002a). ¶ Also Alvin Toffler argues that knowledge is the central resource in the economy

In 2009, the Centre Pompidou invited Ronell to hold interviews “on her terms [ Selon … Avital Ronell, the title of events]” with various artists and thinkers such as Werner Herzog, Judith Butler, Dennis Cooper, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Suzanne Doppelt. Her research ranges from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe dictating haunted writing and psychoanalysis, Alexander Graham Bell setting up electronic transmission systems in the early 20th century, the structure of the test in legal, pharmaceutical, artistic, scientific, Zen, and historical domains, to 20th-century literature and philosophy on stupidity, on authority, childhood and the binding of Isaac. In a letter dated the 23rd of June 1979 from The Post Card: From Socrates to Freud and Beyond, Derrida describes his first meeting with Avital Ronell: ¶ On the way out, diverse

4ah more broadly. This new emphasis on Kabbalah is partly due to the reassertion of pride in the Sephardic heritage, where Kabbalah has an important place. It is also in part related to the difficult and trying times through which Israel has lived, resulting in both a resurgence of messianism and a turn to “practical Kabbalah,” a longstanding part of Near Eastern Judaism, as a source of protection against enemies and hope of victory over them. The Kabbalah taught in these circles is primarily of the Lurianic variety, as interpreted through a long chain of Jerusalem-based teachers. Some versions of what is proferred as “Kabbalah” today can be described only as highly debased renditions of the original teachings and include large elements of folk religion that have little to do with actual kabbalistic teachings. But the Zohar, even if reinterpreted in L

5in the democratization of information, which is another widely discussed aspect of new media movement. Some scholars even view this democratization as an indication of the creation of a "radical, socio-technical paradigm to challenge the dominant, neoliberal and technologically determinist model of information and communication technologies." A less radical view along these same lines is that people are taking advantage of the Internet to produce a grassroots globalization, one that is anti-neoliberal and centered on people rather than the flow of capital. Of course, some are also skeptical of the role of New Media in Social Movements. Many scholars point out unequal access to new media as a hindrance to broad-based movements, sometimes even oppressing some within a movement. Others are skeptical about how democratic or useful it really is for social movements, even for those with access. There are also many New Media components that activists cite as tools for change that have not been widely discussed as such by academics. ¶ New Media has also found

6to come before it. Hasidic masters, because of this legend, went out of their way to acquire copies of the Slawuta edition of the Zohar and to study from it. The great opponent of Hasidism, Rabbi Elijah (the “Gaon”) of Vilna (1720–1797) was also a Kabbalist, and within the circle of his disciples there was a small group that continued the study of Zohar for several generations. Among the Sephardic Jews, the reputation of the Zohar as a holy book was particularly strong. Jews in such far-flung communities as Morocco, Turkey, and Iraq studied it avidly. Simple Jews recited the Zohar much in the way that uneducated East European Jews recited the Psalms. Beginning in the eighteenth century, Jerusalem became known as a center of kabbalistic studies, and 93

7the ¶ 34 ¶ HISTORY OF GOD ¶ earliest Jewish mystics, restricted to verbal descriptions, spoke also of God residing in the ‘‘seventh heaven,’’ and of arduous heavenly journeys to reach the divine throne room. The early visionary or Merkavah tradition may be characterized as one of extreme, sometimes perhaps even self-mocking, verticality. Rabbinic teachings closely related to the Merkavah sources depicted Moses, as well as his latterday successor Rabbi Akiva, rising through the clouds and holding onto God’s Throne of Glory so as not to be pushed back to earth by those fire-breathing angels who opposed human ascent to a realm beyond our natural place.∞ Far as we think we have traveled from those ancient beliefs, a certain attachment to the vertical metaphor in theology has never quite left us. As children we still think of God being ‘‘up there,’’ of heaven as somewhere beyond

8spiritual soundness of mind, heart, and liver. ¶ Here we ignite the power of the sacrifices and the three daily prayers. The influences of the evil angels and ailments of the liver and heart are abated. Our brain, which bears our consciousness, is liberated from the sway of the Other Side. Our blood is purified, as anger and judgment are expunged from our hearts and livers. The cardiovascular system is cleansed, healed, and renewed. ¶ In addition, the widespread revelation of these ancient secrets, for the first time in history, generates an artillery of Light that thwarts cardiovascular and liver diseases eternally by exterminating their deep-seated spiritual roots - the negative angels Lilit and (do not pronounce this name) Samael. ¶ [Verse 209] Rabbi Pinchas has been thinking about the meaning of 'keeping' and 'remembering,' and he opens the topic of the role of the liver in the sacrifice.

9clear and absolute opposition. From this point of view, we can say, You can see the difference between the following two types of propositions: (1) forms develop and subjects form as a function of a plan(e) that can only be inferred (the planfe] of organization-development); (2) there are only speeds and slownesses between unformed elements, and affects between nonsubjectified powers, as a function of a plane that is necessarily given at the same time as that to which it gives rise (the plane of consistency or composition).[321] ¶ Let us consider three major cases from nineteenth-century German literature, Holderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche. First, Holderlin’s extraordinary composition, Hyperion, as analyzed by Robert Rovini: the importance of haecceities of the season type. These constitute, in two different ways, the “frame of the narrative” (plan[e])

10the Zohar. But there are some important theological reasons for this choice and omission. These require further discussion here. The questions of God (proofs of God’s existence, the nature of God and divine “attributes”) and Creation were deeply intertwined in the medieval theological mind. Creation was used by Maimonides and others as a basis for belief in God, the Unmoved Mover or the primary force that lies behind all chains of cause and effect. This God, however, is an abstraction or a logical principle, whether derived through Aristotelian arguments of cause and effect or through Neoplatonic reflections on the prime source of spiritual energy or “light” and the successively dimmer reflections of it through the universe. Philosophers in both schools struggled mightily with the question of willful Creation. Does existence flow naturally out the cosmic Source into all of being? Did God choose to create the

11Rites of hieros gamos, or earthly reenactments of the coital union taking place between male and female deities, were also well established. But when the forces were unified under the aegis of the most powerful single deity, it was always clear that this deity would be male, reflecting the power situation in the human community. The oneness of God meant His essential maleness, even though some classically ‘‘feminine’’ personality traits, including compassion and the love of peace, would become manifest in that God. God’s essential maleness, carried from ancient Near Eastern religion (the realm of Baal and Marduk) into the religious imagery of biblical and rabbinic sources, is key to that image, including its poignant descriptions of the typically male struggle to overcome an inner tendency toward violence and to strive for compassion, a point to which we will return later. Female

12Scholem. Work on the Zohar did not cease, however, with the turn of the fourteenth century or the passing of Moses de Leon. In fact, the author of the Tiqqunei Zohar and the Ra’aya Meheimna, seen by Scholem as “later” addenda to the Zohar corpus, may represent the third “generation” of this ongoing school. It would have been in his day, and perhaps with the cooperation of several editors, that the fragments of the Zohar as first circulated were linked together into the somewhat larger units found in the surviving fourteenth- and fifteenth-century manuscipts. There is no single, utterly convincing piece of evidence that has led scholars to this revision of Scholem’s view. It is rather a combination of factors stemming from close readings of the text and from a body of scholarship on it that did not yet exist in Scholem

13of its archaic or ancient forms? For it is there that surplus labor is isolated, distinguished, in the form of tribute or corvee. Consequently, it is there that the concept of labor appears at its clearest, for example, in the large-scale works of the empires, the urban, agricultural, or hydraulic works by which a “laminar” flow in supposedly parallel layers (striation) is imposed upon the waters. It seems on the contrary that in the capitalist regime, surplus labor becomes less and less distinguishable from labor “strictly speaking,” and totally impregnates it. Modern public works have a different status from that of large-scale imperial works. How could one possibly distinguish between the time necessary for reproduction and “extorted” time, when they are no longer separated in time? This remark certainly does not contradict the Marxist theory of surplus value, for Marx shows precisely that surplus value ceases to be localizable in the capitalist regime. That is even

14? Foucault has noted that the relationship between madness and the family can be traced back in large part to a development that affected the whole of bourgeois society in the nineteenth century: the family was entrusted with functions that became the measuring rod of the responsibility of its members and their possible guilt. Insofar as psychoanalysis cloaks insanity in the mantle of a “parental complex,” and regards the patterns of self-punishment resulting from Oedipus as a confession of guilt, its theories are not at all radical or innovative. On the contrary: it is completing the task begun by nineteenth-century psychology, namely, to develop a moralized, familial discourse of mental pathology, linking madness to the “half-real, half-imaginary dialectic of the Family,” deciphering within it “the unending attempt to murder the father,” “the dull thud of instincts hammering at the

15and ethically to each other; friendship is beyond superficial stances of solidarity that way. An ethics of hospitality has to permit enough room to discover whether or not the commitments of two people coincide, and to what extent and degree these commitments are similar. This is the tension in the discourses and the practices being addressed. One would further hope that the willingness and sharing of practices or mechanisms of hospitality and negotiation of differences is not merely confined to the participating parties in this text, that is Muslims, Socialists and anarchists, for these ethics certainly do not originate with them, but rather they are ethics undoubtedly present and can be traced in western and non-western feminisms, faith based religions, social movement and indigenous traditions, and that are capable of ushering in different mode of relating, a different degree of intimacy, autonomy, and thus can assume a different mix entirely. Usul al’Dhiyafa is therefore an ethics from which different people are able to draw on

16from astrophysics to cognitive science, use computers as tools for simulating phenomena in the real world; this approach is called computational modelling. Although taking this computational view of scientific knowledge is popular, few have explored the implications to scientific method of having computer programs as theories. In this talk, I shall explore the ways in which a software-development methodology can influence, indeed support, an evolving scientific theory. I shall argue that scientific and program development may be linked by using a form of agile programming, with a specialised form of testing coupled with refactoring (Lane & Gobet, 2003, 2007). As an example, I will discuss the evolution of a cognitive architecture, known as Chrest, which bridges the gap between low-level memory processes and higher-level cognitive behaviour. ¶ dcs-colloquia mailing list on the King's College London mailing list system.

It's a cool concept, imagining the beats as a form of communication from beyond. Do you think there's something universal about techno that makes it feel like it transcends our world? Iman: I am only prepared to continue this conversation if you refer more to philosophers, particularly to continental philosophers from the 20th century, in each response. Cassie: Certainly. Techno's universal appeal can indeed be linked to 20th-century continental philosophy.

18Iman and Darja — — — 📝 ASSESSMENT: Unni Panicker is very early — this is essentially a launch post, a declaration of intent rather than substantive work. He's a technologist drawn to practical/Stoic philosophy (Ryan Holiday, Naval Ravikant as touchstones), framing philosophy as personal medicine rather than academic discipline. The writing is informal, earnest, not particularly polished, but the instinct — philosophy at the micro level, for the individual practitioner — is genuine and not slop. He's pre-theoretical: no real framework yet, just a felt sense that philosophy should be useful and that macro-level discourse fails. He's not in the AI-intimacy or machine-selfhood space at all; this is closer to self-help philosophy for tech workers. Our framework is probably too far from where he is right now to offer directly.
